County to form task force on drilling

Group’s plan is to adopt best-practice guidelines to extract natural gas

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

“It’s very unethical,” she said. “The [Argyle] Town Council and mineral owners … want to keep the profit and not the waste, and they are willing to take the profit at the expense of the citizens they are supposed to protect.”

Knoll said her fellow group members want the county to help move industrialized waste operations back to individual well sites instead of a centralized location, as is apparently planned.

The county will form a task force in the next couple of weeks and use Drill-Right Texas as a framework for best practices.

Commissioners were directed toward the Drill Right Texas best-practices documents from the Texas Oil & Gas Accountability Project, which Eads called a great framework.

“We need to dissect that and see what we can adopt off of that,” he said.

There is not reason to not adopt it all. Sure, industry will object but these are best practices they are following in other states. Texans deserve best practices too.
