Fracking News

Dear Dallas: The Big Gas Mafia has you in their fracking crosshairs

October 22, 2011 By TXsharon

You really should do something about it.

I rented a van in Dallas yesterday to take some solar executives on a tour of the Barnett Shale (Aside: it is much easier to obtain a permit to drill a nasty gas well than it is to get a permit to put a solar panel on your roof. As far as I know, solar panels don’t give people cancer or blow up.) During the rental and return process, I encountered several people who said, “What’s a Barnett Shale,” when I told them what I would be doing with the van.

This is your fracking wake up call, Dallas!

If you don’t what want THIS COMPANY drilling in your neighborhood and if you don’t what to live next to this… Put down the remote control and get you self to this meeting on Thursday. You can bet that the Big Gas Mafia will give their employees a mandatory notice that they must attend this meeting.

PUBLIC MEETING

at Dallas City Hall, Auditorium L1F

next to the underground parking garage

1500 Marilla Street

Thursday, October 27th @ 6 pm

Dallas City Hall wants to know how you feel about gas drilling.

The  Dallas Gas Drilling Task Force is preparing new recommendations in order to  deliver to the Dallas City Council. They want to hear your concerns. What do you want in the new gas ordinance?  Here are a few suggestions you may want to request that the city consider:

3000 foot set back from homes, schools, hospitals, businesses

24/7 Air monitoring with info on city hall web site

A BIG charge for using Dallas water to frack with millions of gallons of our water

No gas drilling pad sites next to rivers, streams, lakes

Baseline testing of air and water BEFORE drilling

Full disclosure of chemicals used in fracking. No hidden lists.

A full time City of Dallas gas inspector. No sharing with other cities.

No pipelines, in residential areas.

No injection wells in the CITY OF DALLAS

 

You can also email your suggestions to: kris.sweckard@dallascityhall.com                  

or mike.rawlings@dallascityhall.com
