There are an estimated 161,000 abandoned mining sites across the U.S., most of which have left behind contaminated soils or toxic lakes that seep into rivers and underground aquifers.

Underscoring a trend of less tolerance for “legacy” wastewater practices, various environmental groups successfully argued that a permit for the Montanore copper ...

When salt water bubbles up in Oklahoma killing farmers crops, everyone takes notice. ECOVAP provides an environmentally safe alternative to Salt Water Injection Wells, thus alleviating SWD leaks, contamination, and seismicity concerns.

Seismologists largely attribute widespread earthquakes in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma to the injection-disposal of oil field brine deep into Earth’s crust. Recently..

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Officials say an abandoned disposal well at the Lignite Gas Plant has leaked produced water in northwestern North Dakota.

Natural gas production in the US is at an all-time high, according to the latest reports from the US Energy Information Administration. But the dramatic growth of shale gas over the past decade, made possible by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has led to huge volumes of salty wastewater called brine or produced water.‍

A report by Future Market Insights shows the global produced water treatment system market’s growth due to the demand from the oil and gas industry. –

Nearly 2 billion pounds of toxic waste were dumped into western waterways in 2017, and taxpayers are left to clean up the mess.

Interesting background and data for why ECOVAP’s environmentally sound technology is a critical piece needed to counter the mounting evidence that proves that natural-gas and oil extraction threatens wildlife and ecosystems — much as it harms human health.
