If the Marcellus shale seam in radioactive in place underground, then what happens to that radioactivity when the drill cuttings from the horizontal drilling are brought to the surface. These cuttings are placed in large trucks, moved on our highways and hauled to landfill dumps, is that correct? And, at these landfill sites, the tonnage of drill cuttings accumulates, gets rained on, leaching occurs, and runoff goes into our streams, our runs, our creeks, our rivers. And, this without inspection, monitoring, regulation or treatment? Is that correct? Help me understand these circumstances.
