Reclassify fracking waste as hazardous

Pennsylvania generates a lot of waste from fracking. But this waste, even though it contains proprietary chemicals and radioactive material, is automatically classified as residual waste. This means it can be sent to residual landfills. Such as, you guessed it, the Keystone Sanitary Landfill.

This Scranton Times editorial lays out the gaps in this antiquated approach to the State's approach and calls for testing of all fracking related waste prior to disposal.

This is yet another problem with PA's continued pro-trash policy.
