State's oil operators, well drillers ordered to store radiation properly
Recently, the Oil and Gas Division
of the Department of Mineral Re-
sources, reported that operators and
well drillers were ordered to have an
approved container on every site to dis-
pose of and store "adioactive filter
socks as of June 1.
North Dakota Energy Industry
Waste Coalition and Dakota Resource
Council leaders say they are pleased
state officials are beginning efforts to
slow down the illegal dumping of the
cancer causing filter socks. But Dar-
rell Dorgan and Linda Weiss say much
of Northwestern North Dakota has
reached the point of being an environ-
i'tiarzltal' tlisaset' area, arid fast hadin
for superfund status.
One issue that members from both
the NDEIWC and DRC say there is a
problem with is a continued lack of
record keeping, background checks or
reporting for the filter socks that have
been used. There is still no way of
knowing when cancer causing filter
socks and other waste is accounted for
and that it hasn't been illegally dumped
in a dumpster near a school, in a ditch
or in an area close to drinking water.
"State officials have had years to
work on these issues," said Weiss, the
DRC chairperson from Belfield, ND.
"So far, they haven't seemed to take
risks to people living here very seri-
ously." In the summer of 2013, mem-
bers from both DRC and NDEIWC
met with North Dakota Health Depart-
ment leaders to talk about the illegal
dumping of radioactive waste in the
Bakken. The groups recommended
that filter socks used by the oil industry
would be issued, with a serial number,
by the State of North Dakota. After
every filter sock would be accounted
for, the company would get more filter
Socks tO' operate: ....................
Since then, regulators of the oil in-
dustry have acknowledged that there is
a problem. Yesterday, Health Depart-
ment officials told the Interim Energy
Development and Transmission Com-
mittee that the department is studying
record keeping and tracking radioac-
tive waste. Weiss said, "In the ,;an-
time, hundreds of the cancer causing
socks have been found, tnousands
, more are unaccounted for and existing
laws still aren't being enforced, crimi-

nal charges aren't being filed and
there's no evidence fines are actually
being collected."
She said, "State officials appear to
be too timid to make sure there are
consequences to companies for ille-
gally dumping this hazardous waste."
NDEIWC Chair Darrell Dorgan of
Bismarck says a new study by the Ar-
gonne National Laboratories on the
cancer causing radioactive and toxic
waste is expected shortly. The study
will be used to establish new guide-
lines, but Dorgan notes, "Oil industry
officials and state officials are already
expressing confidence radioactive lev-
els will be raised dramatically in North
Dakota and I have serious doubts that
any new regulations will be enforced.
Frankly, the Health Department does-
n't have enough people to do the job."
He continued, "The job of the
Health Department is to protect the
health and welfare of those who live
here, but they appear more concerned
with oil industry profits."
"Before the Bakken oil boom
started, the oil industry and state offi-
cials knew they would need t6 dispose
the radioactive waste," Dorgan said.
"But, companies didn't put that in their
business plans and state leaders didn't
think about addressing it in a responsi-
ble way. Now they come to us and ask
us to give up on the health and safety of
where we live."
