Really? A lot of things are more environmentally friendly than they used to be. That doesn’t mean we should dump them into our drinking water suppy. The gas industry’s arrogance knows no bounds.

A tanker truck in Marion County hit a tree around 5:00 p.m on Wednesday, and sent chemicals into a stream that runs into the White Day Creek.

We spoke with a few of the folks who live nearby, and they told us Chesapeake Energy warned them not to let their animals go near the water.

Chesapeake officials say the third party delivery truck was going to their Bunner Ridge natural gas drilling site location.

Fire officials say that truck hit a tree and knocked open a valve, spilling what Chesapeake’s calling a synthetic-based oil. That oil is one of the chemicals used in the fracking method.

About nine barrels worth of the fluid spread about a mile and a half down the road.

Chesapeake officials wouldn’t release much on scene, but in a press release they said “There is no immediate threat to the environment.”

They also say they’ve put booms in the water to prevent it from spreading any further down the river.

They are expected to be on scene all night putting down absorbent on the road way, digging the fluid out of ditches, and sucking it out of the water.

Stacey Brodak at Chesapeake says the synthetic oil is more environmentally friendly than it used to be.

The Department of Environmental Protection was on scene to survey the spill.
