<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">Jen Bowman and Natalie Kruse will present on the Sugar Bush Foundation funded project titled, “Bringing transparency to environmental issues surrounding Class II injection wells through
community engagement in eastern Athens County.” Athens County received the greatest input of hydraulic fracturing waste in Ohio in 2016. The presentation will discuss the research, characterize the groundwater quality near injection wells, build a foundation
of knowledge and understanding about science, data, and communication strategies related to injection wells. Additionally, speakers will talk about providing community trainings and roundtable discussions to residents to build understanding and capacity within
the community to empower effective community participation with environmental decision makers.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
