Dallas, WV 2-23-13: The National Response Center reports that 336,000 gallons of toxic, radioactive frack waste were released into a tributary of  Wheeling Creek because a valve was left open. Alert issued on Skytruth.org 2-22-13. Why can I not find any media coverage on this story as of Feb. 25?!

Update, 2-26: NBC Columbus has now covered the story, responding to tip from us. Note: WV DEP apparently took Noble Energy’s word for the amount spilled. NBC therefore gives a much lower figure than NRC report stated but still an outrageous 97,000 gallons of toxic, radioactive frack waste. No charges have yet been brought against the company.

Update 2-26: WV media, apparently alerted by NBC, Columbus, has also now finally picked up the story.
