Environmental group appeals decision on injection well in Troy Two
Athens County Fracking Action Network appeals a Franklin County ruling that the Ohio Oil and Gas Commission lacked jurisdiction over a 2013 permit for K&H Partners second injection well in Troy Two. The case argues the permit was an injection permit and should be reviewable, seeking oral arguments as part of an appeal to the 10th District Court of Appeals. A separate related case on the third injection well remains pending in Franklin County.
