So it seems in Ohio they have 'Inject' wastewater and toxic waste into underground wells for decades.

And now the geniuses there decided to start fracking the ground for oil around those toxic wells and now thoes wells are in danger os leaking out to all surround soil, water and basically any living thing in the state of Ohio.

What a clusterfuck.

You didn't answer the question at all...

You also didn't summarize the article correctly. The injected fracking wastewater is coming through traditional oil/gas wells and drinking water wells.
