Ohio Department of Natural Resources officials are investigating an earthquake reported Wednesday in southeastern Ohio, but don’t believe it was related to oil and gas production.
The initial analysis shows a 3.4 magnitude, “naturally occurring seismic event” happened at 12:24 p.m. in Elk Township, just south of McArthur in Vinton County, that was likely associated with the Athens fault line, department spokesman Eric Heis said.
