A proposed injection well in Hubbard Township is being met by heavy opposition.

Residents are joining forces with trustees, hoping that if they organize and voice their concerns soon enough and loud enough, they may be able to convince the state to reject an application submitted by Bobcat Hubbard LLC to drill.

"I'm sick of us getting dumped on," said Trustee Thomas Jacobs at a special meeting Wednesday night.

Trustees, in a crowded room of residents, expressed their opposition to a proposed injection well that would be built just south of Masury Road near the I-80 entrance ramp. 

At the very same site, trustees say D&L proposed an injection well back in 2011.

The township plans to once again file an objection with the state.

"At that time we brought up 14 objections to the brine well. These are going to parallel that plus a little bit more because there's been a lot more development in the area since 2011," said Trustee Fred Hanley.

Trustees asked residents to join them in signing a petition and to also voice their opposition.

State Representative Glenn Holmes was in attendance. He informed residents that the application filed by BobcCat Hubbard, LLC is currently incomplete because they didn't notify surrounding property owners or trustees. But, he said they will have a chance to resubmit.

"But in the meantime, it's critically important that everybody communicates with Columbus, they'll have to consider every public comment," said Holmes.

But, will those comments and objections be enough to sway the state? 

Some who have been in this fight for a while said during the meeting that they have their doubts. Holmes said what makes the fight difficult, is that it's not a statewide concern, with most injection wells located in Northeast Ohio and Trumbull County. He said opposition will need strong science to back them up.
