Stephanie Merrill, the director of Fresh Water Protection Program with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick, said there are still too many questions about the impact of the water.
She says the province doesn’t have a policy on how to deal with the wastewater.
“The rules for industry that were released in 2012 I think, said that we will cross that wastewater bridge when we get there,” she said. “Now all of a sudden the bridge is in front of us.”
“We’re reacting very quickly to a problem that was created in Nova Scotia without a policy for documenting and a process for a longer term situation to release shale gas waste.”
