A discussion of the Upper Trinity’s evolving policy for oilfield waste disposal and injection wells, and the establishment of future water use conditions throughout the district, is expected to take place at a public meeting inside the Parker County Courthouse tonight, beginning at 6 p.m
The RRC acknowledges dirty water pumped into injection wells has, in some cases, come in contact with ground and surface water, but maintains the occurrence does not represent a significant source of pollution.
Even though the RRC claims there are no known instances of ongoing groundwater contamination as a result of saltwater disposal activities in the Barnett Shale, Texans are concerned about the risk, as evidenced by a plethora of law suits filed by private citizens.
Love that phrasing.
