Description Comment:
As recorded by T Hunting, Emergency Response Inspector:
"Larry Nelson, 430-333-0075
On 10/04@1112 the ER Section received notification from the ADEM that Larry Nelson, 699 Wynn Road (County Road 4), Doddridge, AR reported that his well and the Red River near his home is contaminated due to fracking in the area. He has requested assistance in reporting and working with the issue. Mr. Nelson told ADEM he had his water well sampled and sent the results to the Dept. of Agriculture who said it was contaminated (it was not disclosed what the contaminate is). A records review by the ER section confirmed that there is no "fracking" in that area of the state. There is a large facility close to his address on County Road 4 (Performance Proppants River Ridge Sand Plant) that manufactures fracking sand, it is suspected by the ER section that this facility is the one that Mr. Nelson is concerned about. Attempts to reach Mr. Nelson at the number provided have been unsuccessful."
Mr. Nelson also contacted Arkansas Department of Health (ADH).
