“The well pad is reached by a gravel road, about a half-mile long, that branches off of Sand Bank Road. Vehicles going to the pad would cross a short concrete bridge over the creek onto Sand Bank. A parking area for the rail-trail sits to the right at the end of the bridge. The rail-trail crosses Sand Bank at that spot.”

“The opposition coalesced into a community group that dubbed itself NoInjectionWell.org, which FODC joined. The group expressed concern about potential spills at the trail crossing and at the well pad possibly contaminating the creek. It also worried about truck traffic disrupting access to the rail-trail.”. (Morgantown Dominion Post)
