From: An appraisal of Underground Gas Storage technologies and incidents, for the development of risk assessment Methodology -2007 This PDF was referenced by officials in Louisiana regarding the sinkhole 8.5.1 Injection of waste fluid – the Denver earthquakes Between 1962 and 1966, around 625,000 m3 of contaminated waste water was injected in a deep
well drilled at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA), NE of Denver, Colorado USA (Hsieh & Bredehoeft, 1981). Injection was at a depth of 3650 m into a highly fractured Precambrian Gneiss. Between 1962 and 1967 over 1500 earthquakes were recorded, with three major ones of
magnitude 5 or more in 1967 and which shook the Denver area causing minor structural damage. Previously, the last event felt in the area had been in 1882. By the mid 1980s, the earthquake activity had all but died away. The causes were attributed to movements along the fractures in the gneiss triggered by the increase in pore pressure due to injection.
