Oklahoma State Rep. Richard Morrissette will host a forum on Wednesday morning to hear from Oklahomans who have experienced property damage from earthquakes and discuss oilfield wastewater recycling.

The meeting will be held at the State Capitol in Room 432-B at 11:00 a.m.

The Oklahoma City legislator is highly critical of the pace with which state regulators have acted in order to halt further seismic activities as well as Oklahoma’s acceptance of saltwater from neighboring states for disposal purposes.

Five earthquakes measuring over 2.5 in magnitude have struck central Oklahoma in the last 24 hours. The largest, a 4.5 magnitude temblor, occurred near Pawnee, Oklahoma.
