District drafts new groundwater rules

Here is a quote that will make your eyes bug out:
Those 3,300 permits mean shale drillers must find as much as another 23 billion gallons of water in the coming months.
“The longer we wait, the longer we don’t have the tools,” Klement told the crowd. “Out where I am, they [gas drillers] build 15-acre lakes fed by wells 24 hours a day. When they’re fracking, they have four to eight wells going at a time. You can’t believe what’s going on out there. We’re already six months too late — this is the reason for trying to get this set.”

Alll this wste for a short gas play-I heard royalties and production drops off by 75%. Speaking of 75% there was recently a property in one Denton household that was re-assigned a tax value down 75%. Those peoples neighbors were ordered to evuacuate for health reasons. This is ludricrous!!
The households you reference are in Wise County. However those living near Nightmare on Jeter Rd. will soon see a similar devaluing.
