Barnett Shale odors & other pollution top priority for TCEQ

December 26, 2009 By TXsharon

All odors from gas development are not equal and all are not offensive according to this article in the Denton Record Chronicle. There are many different kinds of odors from gas development and some of the most deadly have little or no smell at all.

The new procedures require the state to investigate odors or other pollution complaints within 12 hours.

Members of the Texas Oil and Gas Accountability Project pushed for new tools and new procedures, which include odor logs and nuisance affidavits that residents can complete themselves.

    So since these companies rarely adhere to the rules since they have ungodly amounts of money, what happens if they DON'T do an investigation?

    Will the people filing the complains have to sign something that indicates that the problem was investigated?

    Do we know if they will be required to FIX the problem?

    SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!
