Ohio acknowledges connection between hydraulic fracturing and Youngstown quakes, will require seismic testing near known fault lines http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1397486315
...The Ohio Department of Natural Resources on Friday said that it will require companies seeking horizontal well drilling permits within 3 miles of known fault lines or where quakes have already been recorded will first have install a network of seismic monitors.
If the monitors detect a "seismic event" larger than a magnitude of 1.0, the fracturing would have to pause. State seismologists would then try to pinpoint exactly where the quake had occurred, and at what depth.
