Rushed potash fracking operation threatens groundwater and wetlands.
Michigan Potash & Salt Company is attempting to develop a massive potash and salt fracking facility in rural Osceola and Mecosta Counties, right next to Bullkill Marsh, some of Michigan’s most beautiful and fragile wetlands. If built, the Michigan Potash mine would consume more than two million gallons of freshwater per day — almost 4 times more water than the controversial BlueTriton bottling plant less than 10 miles away. Much of that water would become briny chemical waste and then injected deep underground. One thing stands in the way: money. And they’re asking the public to fund it.
