Monitoring shallow ground water for injected liquid industrial wastes : Sarnia, Canada / by Suzanne Lesage, Richard E. Jackson, Mark W. Priddle and Paul Beck, Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Ken...: En13-5/89-171E-PDF

"The objective of this study was to assess the possible impact, of deep well disposal operations conducted between 1958 and 1974, on the ground-water quality in a shallow "fresh water aquifer", beneath Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Because of the breakout of formation fluids in Sarnia and Port Huron, Michigan in the early 1970's it had been hypothesized that liquid waste from the disposal zone in bedrock had leaked through the numerous abandoned oil, gas and salt wells in the area up to the shallow aquifer and thence to the surface"--Abstract.
