6B Daily News – Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Wastewater well triggered Ohio quakes CLEVELAND (AP) — A northeast Ohio well used to dispose of wastewater from oil and gas drilling almost certain- ly caused a series of 11 minor quakes in the Youngstown area since last spring, a seismolo- gist investigating the quakes said Monday. Research is continuing on the now-shuttered injection well at Youngstown and seis- mic activity, but it might take a year for the wastewater-related rumblings in the earth to dissi- pate, said John Armbruster of Columbia University's Lam- ont-Doherty Earth Observato- ry in Palisades, N.Y. Brine wastewater dumped in wells comes from drilling operations, including the so- called fracking process to extract gas from underground shale that has been a source of concern among environmental groups and some property owners. Injection wells have also been suspected in quakes in Arkansas, Colorado and Oklahoma, Armbruster said. Thousands of gallons of brine were injected daily into the Youngstown well that opened in 2010 until its owner, Northstar Disposal Services LLC, agreed Friday to stop injecting the waste into the earth as a precaution while authorities assessed any poten- tial links to the quakes. After the latest and largest quake Saturday at 4.0 magni- tude, state officials announced their beliefs that injecting wastewater near a fault line had created enough pressure to cause seismic activity. They said four inactive wells within a five-mile radius of the Youngstown well would remain closed. But they also stressed that injection wells are different from drilling wells that employ fracking. Armbruster said Monday he expects more quakes will occur despite the shutdown of the Youngstown well. ''The earthquakes will trickle on as a kind of a cas- cading process once you've caused them to occur,'' he said. ''This one year of pumping is a pulse that has been pushed into the ground, and it's going to be spreading out for at least a year.'' The quakes began last March with the most recent on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve each occurring within 100 meters of the injection well. The Saturday quake in McDonald, outside of Youngstown, caused no seri- ous injuries or property dam- age. Youngstown Democrat Rep. Robert Hagan on Monday renewed his call for a morato- rium on fracking and well injection disposal to allow a review of safety issues. ''If it's safe, I want to do it,'' he said in a telephone inter- view. ''If it's not, I don't want to be part and parcel to destruction of the environment and the fake promise of jobs.'' He said a moratorium ''real- ly is what we should be doing, mostly toward the injection wells, but we should be asking questions on drilling itself.'' A spokesman for Gov. John Kasich, an outspoken support- er of the growing oil and natur- al gas industry in Ohio, said the shale industry shouldn't be punished for a fracking byproduct. ''That would be the equiva- lent of shutting down the auto industry because a scrap tire dump caught fire somewhere,'' said Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols. He said 177 deep injection wells have operated without incident in Ohio for decades and the Youngstown well was closed within 24 hours of a study detailing how close a Christmas Eve quake was to the well. The industry-supported Ohio Oil and Gas Association said the rash of quakes was ''a rare and isolated event that should not cast doubt about the effectiveness'' of injection wells. Such wells ''have been used safely and reliably as a dispos- al method for wastewater from oil and gas operations in the U.S. since the 1930s,'' the association's executive vice president, Thomas E. Stewart, said in a statement Monday. Environmentalists are criti- cal of the hydraulic fracturing process, called fracking, which utilizes chemical-laced water and sand to blast deep into the ground and free the shale gas. Critics fear the process itself or the drilling liquid, which can contain car- cinogens, could contaminate water supplies, either below ground, by spills, or in dis- posed wastewater. Permits allowing hydraulic fracturing in Ohio's portion of the Marcellus and the deeper Utica Shale formations rose from one in 2006 to at least 32 in 2011. Condo victims were Navy pilot, sister CORONADO (AP) — A Navy pilot in train- ing who recently took his first flight in an F/A- 18 fighter jet was among the four people found dead in a New Year's shooting at a condomini- um in a toney neighborhood just blocks from the historic Hotel del Coronado, his father said Monday. David Reis, 25, an aviator in training at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar since Sep- tember, and his sister Karen Reis, 24, a volley- ball coach, were confirmed as victims by the Navy, said their father, Tom Reis of Bakersfield. The siblings were found at the Coronado condo after authorities responded to a report of gunfire shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday. The elder Reis said he didn't know who else was at the condo in the wealthy seaside commu- nity on San Diego Bay where his son had been living. ''He just had his first F/A-18 flight,'' Tom Reis said. ''Oh man, he loved it.'' David Reis held a mechanical engineering degree from the University of New Mexico. Karen Reis graduated from University of Cali- fornia, San Diego in 2009 and stayed in the area, coaching volleyball and working at a grocery store. said. was not immediately returned. She was very close to her brother, their father A message left with Navy Region Southwest The remaining victims were a 25-year-old Navy man and a 31-year-old man from Chula DETROIT (AP) — After hit- ting a 30-year low in 2009, U.S. auto sales are poised for a sec- ond straight year of growth in 2012 — the result of easier cred- it, low interest rates and pent-up demand for cars and trucks cre- ated by the Great Recession. The sales forecast bodes well for the industry's continued recovery and for the broader American economy. Just two years ago, Detroit automakers were in peril. Car sales plunged as unemployment soared, and loans became harder to get. Chrysler and General Motors filed for bankruptcy pro- tection. Ford avoided bankrupt- cy only by borrowing billions. Now credit is easier to get, interest rates are still low and Americans need to replace old cars and trucks they kept during and after the downturn. Millions of drivers in their teens and 20s are expected to buy vehicles, too. That could mean more jobs, more factory shifts and overall growth. Vince Powell, a retiree from Winfield, Pa., recently traded in his wife's 7-year-old Chrysler 300 luxury sedan for a 2011 model. The old car had 145,000 miles on it, but it was the deal he got that most attracted him: a low interest rate (2.7 percent per year), a six-year loan term and a big discount off the $31,900 sticker price. ''I'm getting a $300 per month payment,'' he said just before closing the deal at Beaver Vista, authorities said. Their names were not immediately released. Officials found a dead man in the doorway to the three-story condo and the bodies of two men and a woman inside in different parts of the structure. It was not immediately clear how the four people died. However, authorities previously said they did not believe there were any out- standing suspects. A message seeking further information Mon- day from the San Diego County sheriff's homi- cide detail was not immediately returned. Neighbor Don Hubbard said he was awak- ened by the shots that he thought were fired by New Year's revelers. He went back to sleep but two hours later got a phone call and heard SWAT teams swarming the area. Hubbard, a retired Navy commander, said he saw the body of one man in the condo doorway and recognized him as his neighbor — a Navy pilot receiving training at Miramar. ''I knew these guys were pilots because I was one and we'd talk about airplanes,'' Hubbard said. ''Even now, you say, how could this have happened? What the hell is going on here?'' The condo is located a few blocks from the famed Hotel del Coronado and a block from the main street lined with boutiques and restaurants. Coronado is home to Naval Air Station North Island and is a haven for Navy retirees. Homi- cides are extremely rare in Coronado — just one was recorded in 2010. US auto sales poised for another year of growth Motors in Beaver Springs, Pa., near Harrisburg. ''I've never had a new car for 300 bucks a month.'' In their effort to survive, all three automakers downsized and positioned themselves to turn profits — even if sales remained depressed. Now that sales are rising, the outlook has brightened considerably. Automakers report U.S. sales for 2011 on Wednesday. When final figures are calculated, sales of new cars and trucks are expected to reach 12.7 million, up from 11.5 million in 2010 and 10.4 million in 2009, the worst year since 1982. In 2012, they could climb as high as 13.8 million, close to what experts consider a healthy market — around 14 million. December sales could reach an annual rate of 13.4 million, which would make it the sec- ond-strongest month of the year. Only November was bet- ter. Auto website Edmunds.com forecasts a 37 percent rise in sales at Chrysler Group LLC in December, thanks to new and revamped products such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV and the Chrysler 200 midsize sedan. Carmakers have announced plans to crank up factories and add thousands of jobs. Last Jan- uary, Ford said it would hire 7,000 workers over the next two years. During the summer, GM said it would add 2,500 at the Detroit factory that makes the Chevrolet Volt electric car. Volkswagen hired 2,000 for a new plant in Tennessee, and Honda added 1,000 in Indiana. The industry will add 167,000 jobs by 2015, a 28 percent increase over current levels, pre- dicts The Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. During the summer, the auto industry was adding jobs at a faster pace than airplane manu- facturers, shipbuilders, health care providers and the federal government. It kept adding jobs even when the national unem- ployment rate rose above 9 per- cent, Standard & Poor's down- graded U.S. debt for the first time and the stock market tum- bled. Government estimates show Americans spent roughly $40 billion more on new cars and trucks in 2011 than in 2009. Based on annualized figures from the first quarter of 2011, new-car spending totaled $206 billion, or 1.3 percent of the gross domestic product, Com- merce Department data shows. That compares with $166 billion in 2009, about 1.2 percent of the country's economy. And the momentum in auto sales is likely to continue because people need to replace aging cars, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecast- ing for LMC Automotive, an automotive consulting company in Troy, Mich. The average American car is now 11 years old.
