The anti-drilling coalition Frackfree Mahoning Valley was one of hundreds of interest groups on dozens of bills that tried to keep up. The group had discovered an issue of concern in wide-ranging energy legislation and called for legislative delay on it Wednesday, before a committee vote went forward. The bill, 220 pages long, then cleared the Senate floor later that same day. A House committee passed it within a week and representatives sent it off to the governor the next day.
NBC4 Columbus, Ohio, May 22, 2012, news coverage, video of Ohio House Hearings on Sub SB 315 Susie Beiersdorfer featured among the dozens of environmental advocate witnesses lining up to testify on a bill laying out Ohio's new regulations for horizontal shale drilling and the use of renewable energy. http://www2.nbc4i.com/news/2012/may/21/4/environmentalists-criticize-ohio-drilling-rules-ar-1044296/

The Columbus Dispatch, April 22, 2012, article on rapid growth in Ohio wastewater disposal wells despite concerns, quotes Frackfree Mahoning member, "Susie Beiersdorfer, a part-time Youngstown State University geology professor and a member of a group called Frackfree Mahoning Valley.
Beiersdorfer said she’s concerned that new Mahoning wells might cause more quakes, regardless of the state’s new standards.
“You can’t say for certain that there aren’t faults, even if you don’t drill into the basement (rock),” she said. “We don’t have the geology well mapped around here. It’s because we’ve never been seismically active.” http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/04/22/quake-concerns-dont-halt-disposal-well-applications.html

" 'The state wants to restart the permitting process on these injection wells, but I think we need more information first about the risks to public health and safety,' said Ms. Beiersdorfer, who lives near Youngstown and said she felt several of the quakes." http://old.post-gazette.com/pg/12070/1215767-503-0.stm?cmpid=marcellusshale.xml
