Abstract
- Research on earthquake patterns in Ohio's Ashtabula Township indicates that hazardous wastes are leaking out of the 1.8 km-deep well they were stored in and seeping into the surrounding porous rock, providing slip lubrication for a previously unknown fault. Contributing factors and legal issues are also discussed.
