The Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management has issued four new injection well permits according to this article by WOUB:  "Ohio has begun issuing its first permits for deep injection of chemically-laced wastewater from oil and gas drilling since a New Year's Eve quake in Youngstown prompted an unofficial statewide moratorium on new wells. *** The head of the state's Division of Oil and Gas Resources says the first four new permits will go out Tuesday to sites in Athens, Portage and Washington counties."
