For the last several months neighbors, local officialsand lawmakers have voiced their concerns over the proposed wastewater injection well for Brady Township.

Currently, there is a lease agreement between a resident along Highland Street Extension and Windfall Oil & Gas Company,which is based inFalls Creek.

To date, there are only eight injection disposal wells in the entire state.

In Clearfield County, there are already two injection wells.

After receiving letters and phone calls from concerned people in Clearfield County, the Environmental Protection Agency has decided that it's time to come to Brady Township.

"It's good that they're going to help monitor what happens in the process. It's scary to one to know what exactly they are going to do as far as if they permit this. I can't see any good coming out of it," said resident Valerie Powers.

6 News has learned that the meeting will be small and behind closed doors.

Powers said that 10 residents will be allowed to attend. The EPA is also encouraging all local officials and lawmakers to attend the meeting.

For resident Randall Baird, who has lived in the area for 35 years, he is appalled that the company is still interested in digging the well.

"I can't believe that somebody can do something locally that puts your life and family at risk," he said.

6 News learned that at the meeting the EPA will discuss the process in obtaining a permit for a disposal well. The EPA has made one thing clear: the 26-step permit has not yet been approved.

Neighbors are hoping if they company gets the go-ahead residents from all over the county will voice their concerns.

"If and when the EPA grants the public hearing we need a lot of people to turn out. We need a lot of people to come and voice their opinion on this and make a difference," said Powers.

If the permit is approved by the EPA, residents will have 30 days to request a public hearing.

6 News tried contacting Windfall Oil & Gas company but could not get a hold of anyone.

The meeting with the EPA has been scheduled for July 23 at the Community Center in Brady Township.
