An Updated Editorial: The Russians are Coming … Again: The Conflict of Politics, Natural Resources and the American Political and Economic System

I2M Consulting’s Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., Senior Principal, has just released an updated editorial as a pre-publication version. He opines that there were times in history when a democratic people did not speak up or take action when the politics of the day were seriously out of step with the general populace. We are living now through a similar period in our history that because of the widespread news media accounts, they allow us to observe and determine what is right and what is wrong, true or false, truth is truth.

The adage that independent industry scientists should avoid speaking out on politics is illogical now that we know that some politicians can be seriously flawed, in particular the current president of the U.S.

I2M Personnel Update IET Guide to Growth Faulting and Subsidence in the Houston, Texas Area

I2M’s Chief Geologist/Chief Hydrologist, Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., C.P.G., and I2M’s Senior Project Manager, M. David Campbell, P.G., supported by Henry M. Wise, the Senior Remediation Specialist in Texas for SWS Environmental Services have updated the IET Guide first released in 2013 for the graduates of the IET program, and other professional groups, including the members of the Houston Geological Society and the AIPG in Texas.

The original report has been updated and revised into a paper format by the Journal of Geology and Geoscience, based in London (here). This will also provide a wider readership around the world because subsidence and faulting in soft sediments are not limited to the Houston area.

We are conducting the final review and are adding an author and subject index because of the substantial literature base of the subjects treated.

Lee, Ph.D., P.G., I2M’s Senior Geochemical Associate; and by Glen A.

“Anatomy of a Case of Elevated Chloride in the Shallow Black Hand Sandstone Providing Rural Drinking Water Supplies in North-Central Ohio, USA: Hydrogeological and Hydrochemical Characterization by Major and Minor Elements, and δ2H, δ18O, δ13C and Tritium (3H) Isotopes.”
Authors pre-publication copy (here).

Summary Abstract: Elevated chloride concentrations (>250 mg/l) were reported to the Ohio State Environmental Protection Agency in the early 2000s by a rural resident using groundwater for domestic consumption from a private water well. An adjacent commercial oil and gas pipe yard had spread relatively small volumes of oilfield brines from 1998 through 2000 to control dust during summers and to de-ice on the property driveways; county and state agencies used halite and other brines on surrounding rural county and state highways during the winter. There are multiple sources in the immediate area that might have contributed to local groundwater by varying degrees, resulting in elevated chloride concentrations reported in the samples from the […]
