    This drilling waste is too thick to inject underground, as industry does with problematic liquid waste streams such as produced water and flowback. Instead, it is often disposed of in pits, placed into landfills, laid under county roads (“road-spreading”), or spread across farm fields.

    Holy fuck, this is far past negligence and into pure evil.
