    Xylene ain't exactly spring water either, and at these levels might qualify as toxic waste – you know, if it was regulted.

    With Congress investigating, this has got to get better soon. SOS to Dr Al-has anyone ever been more in the right place for the right time?

    I had an appraiser tell me once, "Gas drilling will never affect property values and there is no study or proof to say otherwise." I would agree with the "there is no study." So maybe this should be listed as an "amenity".

    I just keep scratching my head and think, how do they just keep getting away with this type of activity?
    It should be a crime.

    Were these air or soil tests? Who performed the testing?

    S.O.S. heard, viewed, and inquiries are happening. Thanks for posting. It truly is disgusting.

    Of course I know where the information came from and it's rock solid.

    Denton Creek flows into Grapevine Lake which is the water source for the city of Grapevine. Has anyone contacted the city of Grapvine about this toxic dumping going on up stream? or the local Grapvine news paper? Just an idea…

    I understand, although I'm certain I have not put as much time into this as you have, I certainly can relate. It is important we have a symphony of testing saying the same thing, and not a solo by Wolf Eagle. They can't marginalize everyone and the more professional firms that come up with this type of testing, the better.

    I don't get your point and I'm not inclined to give out information to anonymous.
