Ohio EPA issues comprehensive findings on potential Canton/Stark County-sited townships (the latter through Aqua Ohio) drinking water supplies that shows The Stark County Political Report (SCPR) that Canton City Council in inquiring of the Mayor Thomas Bernabei administration (specifically, Tyler Converse, Canton water supervisor) and, of course, the Bernabei administration itself working with the Ohio Environmental Protection Administration (OH EPA) have been successful in getting the Ohio EPA to take strong remedial action vis-a-vis an April 13, 2017 discovered spill at the hand of Energy Transfers Partners ([ETP], apparently a subcontractor of Rover Pipelines, LLC, against whom the OH EPA findings/orders were issued) at least with regard to the Navarre area, Stark County spill as set out in area media reports including the SCPR in a June 22nd blog.
The SCPR has learned that there was a challenge to the authority of the OH EPA to deal with Stark County spill.
Here is a copy of the OH EPA report (more commentary later is this blog) for readers to see for themselves the effectiveness of local and state government working together to protect this highly important resource:
With the April 13 discovered by the Ohio EPA Energy Transfers Partners (ETP) spill in Navarre (potentially jeopardizing the city of Canton's Sugarcreek well field), the question arose as to whether not government would act swiftly to protect Canton's most important resource.
According to Canton City Council president, Canton's water resources are more important as an economic development factor than the reportedly $800 million, more or less, Pro Football Hall of Fame Village Project.
More commentary to follow.
