2,529 Ohio oil and gas incidents, 2015–2025, mapped. Stark and Noble counties have the most, about 130 each.

“The well was flowing for days after the leak was found… stating that it was zero is inaccurate.”

Our organizer Bev Reed spoke with The Marietta Times about what our report with @FracTracker found in ODNR’s records.

TCEQ Backtracks, Suspends Data Center Permits Issued After Investigation Shows It Ignored Abbott’s Pause https://t.co/JyM2JheF6i

Dani Kington at the Athens County Independent smelled gas near her house and called ODNR in October 2024. ODNR closed the incident the same day. Inspectors later found a gas line leaking into a stream, and the last inspection had no plan for a fix.

The confusion surrounding these approvals further proves the need for a moratorium.

Full report and records, with @PublicCitizenTX: https://t.co/6VeG1VADCG

TCEQ has shut down STEERS, its e-filing system, "to ensure all applications are reviewed by agency staff to determine if they are related to data centers."

That's two days after our report with @PublicCitizenTX. We caught them doing something they shouldn't have. 🧵

[FracTracker Alliance @FracTracker]

These were regulatory approvals that allowed construction on over 5.9 square miles of land across Texas. We don't know if these data centers are complying with the suspensions. TCEQ needs to send inspectors to make sure they are.

[Buckeye Environmental Network @BuckeyeEnviNtwk]

Our report with @FracTracker found serious problems with how ODNR handles oil and gas incidents. One well went 12 years without an inspection before a tank exploded and spilled nearly 2,500 gallons of oil. ODNR called it minor.

Texas regulators continued permitting data centers after Governor Greg Abbott ordered a pause, according to a new report. It identified 35 permitting actions in the weeks following the moratorium.

How do you suspend a permit that was never approved? These were regulatory approvals that allowed construction on over 4.2 square miles of land across Texas, for companies like OpenAI, Amazon and other hyperscalers. The pause only got real after we caught TCEQ red-handed.

[Andrew Mahaleris @Mahaleris]

The headline says data center permits 'kept moving”

The facts: zero data center permits have been approved, and stormwater permits are suspended.

The pause is real.

Texans come first.

Across the country, data center power projects are receiving approval with minimal public participation by finding ways to fit into regulations written for small-scale facilities

What we're asking for: clear definitions and open data, more inspectors, fines for long-running violations, and stop-work orders until contamination is cleaned up.

ODNR's rules go to the legislature Jan 13.

New report: Ohio recorded 2,529 oil and gas incidents from 2015 through 2025, rising from 103 a year to 268.

With @BuckeyeEnviNtwk, we went through ten years of ODNR records. Oversight isn't keeping up. 🧵

Bev Reed of @BuckeyeEnviNtwk, on a Marietta well ODNR visited 20 times:

"If I get a traffic ticket… I have to pay it within two weeks' time or they're going to escalate. That's not the case with these oil and gas companies, and that's not right."
