While it is a natural part of the environment, too much of it in one place can pollute our streams, lakes, and rivers. Sediment runoff negatively impacts the health of local streams by degrading habitat for aquatic life, decreasing recreational value, and promoting growth of invasive plant species and algae.

Having soil and bedrock from the locale in the stream should not be characterized as pollution. Soil along streams are deposited and eroded by the stream as water levels vary.

Depending on what kind of rock and soil is being drilled through those cuttings can be problematic. I hope the WV DEP is forthcoming with the results of its investigation. Thanks for keeping up with this and all the other issues you cover. So, should we assume that whatever pressurized water reached the stream also contained drill cuttings as well ? ….
