Incoming from Parker County...Alpha Particles in YOUR water. The map above shows the water source, which is now surrounded by gas drilling. (Multiple wells per red dot).
People come here daily searching Parker County water. That should be the first sign. The second is when the agency supposed to be regulating it uses "Texas Math" to determine the danger.
Several Parker County residents received the TCEQ form letter this week telling them their water contains radiation. They say it's not dangerous. If the math is fuzzy, and with their history, do YOU believe them?
By the way, those mailers don't go to everyone. At the bottom of the TCEQ form letter it states -
"Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools and businesses).
Feel better?
KHOU did a story on this last year.
KHOU: “Do you think the ‘Average Joe’ knows there's radiation in the water?”
GOODALL: “Well I can't speak for the ‘Average Joe’ but I know that we sent out mailers.”
Texas officials charged with protecting the environment and public health have for years made arbitrary subtractions to the measured levels of radiation delivered by water utilities across the state, according to a series of investigative reports out of Houston.
Those subtractions, based on the test results' margin of error, made all the difference for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ): without the reduction, demonstrated levels of dangerous radiation would have been in excess of federal limits for years.
This was being done in direct contravention of an order by the US Environmental Protection Agency, which told state regulators in 2000 to stop subtracting the margin of error.
Wonder what the margin of error is in Parker County water?
