State faulted for improper injection well permit notices
Topeka lawyer accuses Kansas energy regulators of allowing oil and gas drillers to file injection well permit applications with insufficient public notice while an investigation into enforcement ongoing. Robert Eye, for the Sierra Club and others, cites over 2000 permits since 2008 with 60 in Douglas County and protests limited to 15 days, not the federal 30. Underground wells tied to earthquakes in south central Kansas and potential water-supply risks are noted.
