Toxic Waste Is Being Pumped Into California Water Supplies, Lawsuit Claims

Jae C. Hong / AP

Oil companies in California are injecting toxic waste into the state's dwindling underground water supplies and the government is letting them do it, according to a new lawsuit filed Thursday.

The lawsuit — which was filed jointly by Earthjustice, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Sierra Club — claims that there are 2,500 wells injecting polluted water into the ground. And the agency responsible for protecting California's has publicly acknowledged the problem. But, the lawsuit contents, instead of working to stop the practice, the the California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources passed regulations allowing the injections to continue in most cases until 2017.

The agency, which is a defendant in the case, did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment.

The practice of injecting waste water into the ground goes back decades. The waste is produced as either natural fluids come to the surface while extracting the oil, or as companies blast water and steam to into the ground, a process commonly known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking."

Either way, the resulting water ends up filled with toxic chemicals. Hollin Kretzmann, an attorney representing the Center for Biological Diversity, told BuzzFeed News one of the most dangerous chemicals in the waste is benzene, a cancer-causing carcinogen. Kretzmann said there are about 50,000 wells in California injecting the tainted water into the ground.

"The reality is this waste water is inherently dangerous so there's no good solution," Kretzmann said. "There's no good way to get rid of it."

Companies operating injection wells include Freeport-McMoRan, Linn Operating, Inc., and Chevron, according to data provided to BuzzFeed News by the Center for Biological Diversity. And for each gallon of extracted petroleum, oil companies end up with about 13 gallons of waste water, the Associated Press has reported.

This becomes a serious — and illegal — problem when the polluted water gets into clean aquifers, or underground water supplies, that the EPA has set aside for public use. In emergency regulations announced last month, government regulators acknowledged finding "over 2,500 wells that may have been improperly approved for injection."

The Center for Biological Diversity has mapped those wells:

Many of these injection wells are within a mile of water sources that are being used for consumption or irrigation, according to the lawsuit. And an analysis by the AP earlier this year discovered that 46% of those 2,500 wells received permits or started injecting waste sometime during the last four years.

The affects of injected waste water are already being felt. In a lawsuit filed last year, Palla Farms has argued that water injections from oil companies raised the amount of salt and boron in groundwater the farm uses for irrigation, according to The Bakersfield Californian. As a result, the farm reportedly had to uproot cherry trees and has seen production fall.

Attorneys for Palla Farms did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment Wednesday.

Courtesy Center for Biological Diversity

Government regulators have shutdown 23 of the 2,500 waste water injection wells, according to the lawsuit. But the emergency regulations announced in April will allow the others to continue pumping water into the ground until 2017.

Kathryn Phillips, director of the Sierra Club of California, criticized the regulations Wednesday in a interview with BuzzFeed News, saying they are "action in the wrong direction."

"It’s not action to protect the public," she said.

Phillips added that allowing the injections to continue during historic water shortages is particularly egregious.

"We’re at a really bad place in this drought," Phillips added.

A U.S. Drought Monitor map shows that as of late April nearly half of California was experiencing exceptional drought, which is the most severe category that exists. All but .14 of the state was experiencing some kind of drought, and dry conditions have now entered their fourth consecutive year.

U.S. Drought Monitor / Via droughtmonitor.unl.edu


The lawsuit repeatedly invokes dwindling water supplies, arguing that protecting California's aquifers "is crucial during dire circumstances like the current drought."

Kretzmann also slammed the latest round of regulations, saying they are a "stark and troubling" abuse of power because they allow continued injections of toxic water into aquifers that are supposed to be for people.

"The oil industry in California is very used to getting its way," Kretzmann said. "The businesses as usual scenario is the oil industry gets to do what it wants and the rest of us suffer the consequences."

The Emotional Evolution Of The Hulk In "Avengers: Age Of Ultron"

0

Warning: The following story contains MAJOR SPOILERS about Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Mark Ruffalo in Avengers: Age of Ultron

Jay Maidment / Marvel

One of the best surprises of 2012's The Avengers was the re-reintroduction of the Hulk, and of Mark Ruffalo as his alter ego Dr. Bruce Banner. (Eric Bana first played Banner in 2003's Hulk, followed by Edward Norton in 2008's The Incredible Hulk.) Ruffalo and writer-director Joss Whedon earned praise for finally finding the right mix of barely contained rage, playful intelligence, and tortured melancholy for Banner. But Whedon was still frustrated that he was limited by how much he could use the Hulk due to the enormous cost and time spent to digitally animate his actions.

"Every time you see the Hulk, it's going to be a shot about the Hulk, because we can't afford to have him in a shot that's not about the Hulk," Whedon told BuzzFeed News about the first Avengers film. To solve that problem for the sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron, currently in theaters, Whedon and Ruffalo turned to Andy Serkis and his motion capture studio The Imaginarium to allow Ruffalo's acting to drive the Hulk's performance.

Marvel

"This movie, we got to shoot him just as a character," said Whedon, meaning the giant green rage monster could appear in touching, quiet moments with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), or in the background as Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) or Captain America (Chris Evans) battle in the foreground. Ruffalo’s motion capture work is the latest evolution of one of the most beloved, and complicated, characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and, it turns out, it’s also an indication of where he might head to next.

In Hulk's biggest standout scene, the powerful Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) messes with Banner's mind so badly that he sends his alter ego on a berserker rage through downtown Johannesburg, forcing Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) to take on a giant Hulkbuster suit to subdue him. Even for these rubble-strewn scenes of wonton destruction, Ruffalo was in the driver's seat of the character's roiling emotions.

"I did all the motion capture for that," said Ruffalo. "So when I get hit in the face, and I come back up and I spit the tooth out, that's me." For a beat when Stark repeatedly punches the Hulk's face into the pavement, Ruffalo mimed his face getting pummeled into a mat. And while a muscle-bound stunt performer named Rob de Groot (Guardians of the Galaxy) also served as a motion capture reference for the Hulk, Ruffalo said that he strives to play the character even for the bigger action beats, like when the Hulk throws a car at Iron Man and then punches him through it. "They'll give me a big piece of foam [or] a cardboard box, just to get that size and that mass, basically at scale. And then I'll throw that, or I'll run and I'll do the kick."

Marvel

The biggest challenge came when Hulk’s rage dropped away for a moment and he began to register the devastation he had caused. "That's the problem of the Hulk," said Ruffalo. "When does Banner's consciousness start to dominate Hulk's? Where are those moments, and where do you play it?”

In fact, Ruffalo thinks that moment points to where the character could evolve. "What you want to see is the integration of these two egos," he said. "If you're doing this as a psych major, it would be the integration of a multiple personality person, you know? … What is Hulk afraid of? He's afraid of Banner. That was something I found in this movie that never would have crossed my mind. But he's terrified of Banner, that vulnerability. And Banner's terrified of Hulk. So there's some interesting places we could go, if we could figure out how to crack the nut of the story."

The end of Age of Ultron does indicate a possible future storyline for the character: Hulk deliberately flies away from the climactic battle in a cloaked Quinjet and goes into hiding, convinced he is too much of a danger to society — and especially to Black Widow, with whom he had a growing romance. "He tricked himself to think that he could have a normal life," said Ruffalo. "But then again, is it Banner, or is it Hulk? We're getting into this interesting bleed into the two of them."

Scarlett Johansson and a motion-captured Ruffalo in Avengers: Age of Ultron

Marvel

When, or whether, Ruffalo could get to explore that duality between Hulk and Banner in upcoming Marvel Studios movies, however, remains unclear to the actor. "I don't know where I'm going to pop out again," he said. "I don't think they really know quite yet. I'm pretty sure I'm not in [2016’s Captain America: Civil War], or I certainly haven't asked to be in it. I think Banner and Hulk are just a long, long, far away from the rest of the team at this point. I think that it will be interesting to see where he ends up, and who he ends up with, just to see what's going on with him. … But I think we have everything available to us to do it. Now, the technology's there, where you can really do a nuanced performance with the Hulk, like a real performance. The world's set up well. There's a lot going for it if we could find what the story is."

Senators Troll Terrorists As Social Media Fuels Recruitment

0

The Homeland Security Committee wants to fight the “fancy memes” of terrorists on the social media battlefield.

Ugc / AP

Provoked by terrorist recruitment efforts on Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks, the Senate's Homeland Security Committee is looking to up the U.S. government's social media game.

At a Thursday hearing, entitled "Jihad 2.0," Senators discussed ways the U.S. can prevent individuals from joining terror groups — by investing in online counter-propaganda. The committee chair indicated he will work with the panel on draft legislation with urgency to better combat extremists through messaging campaigns.

Sen. Cory Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey, emphasized the importance of using social media to reach young people, arguing that the medium's users skew young, as do the populations of Arab-muslim nations. Describing the dearth of government resources spent on social media operations and the low quality of U.S.-led campaigns, he said, "crude is a generous statement."

"I was surprised if not stunned at how we are approaching our messaging and our counter-messaging," Sen. Booker said, as he passed around his iPad inviting his colleagues to toggle between two open browser tabs, one set to a "slick," "attractive" extremist YouTube video and the other to a State Department website whose engagement he described as "laughable." "Three retweets, two retweets," he said, referring to the audience garnered by the State Department's anti-terror information campaign, "Think Again Turn Away."

"There are easy tactics [to] get more voice and virality to messaging that we are not using as a government," Sen. Booker said. "Look at their fancy memes compared to what we are not doing."

Mubin Shaikh, an author and former Canadian intelligence officer who spoke as an expert witness at the hearing, agreed with Sen. Booker's youth-centric message. "If you want to fight back against recruitment of 15 year old kids, you need to work with 15 year old kids."

Chairman Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, said, "There is an obvious piece of legislation that we need to start working on. "I've already directed the staff."

"Lets face it," Johnson said. "We invented the internet, we invented these social network sites, we've got Hollywood, we've got the capabilities...to blow these guys out of the water."

The Senate's call for non-military strategies to combat terrorism follows efforts by Major General Michael K. Nagata, commander of American Special Operations forces in the Middle East, who's taken a special interest in understanding the psychological and cultural power behind terror groups.

"We must, in partnership with our allies abroad, start examining more closely the root causes of why Westerners join the ranks and act in the name of ISIS or Al Qaeda." said Ranking Member Thomas Carper, a Democrat from Delaware.
