Over 30 landfills in the state accept fracking waste like drill cuttings.

Should we be surprised?

I actually expected this to happen sooner, like when the parade of trucks hauling liquid fracking waste came rolling down Truman Run Road toward Pine Creek one after the other (now several years ago). I'm sure there were similar potential accident scenarios throughout the state. In any case, I liked that the article was specific about the source. (These materials did not come from the present and former nuclear energy production facilities in PA.)
