Hey, Fort Worth, do you see a pattern yet?
Wake up already.
Check it out on the Westchester Gasette.
Chesapeake's Corn Valley Pad Site was administratively permitted by the City of Grand Prairie in the summer of 2010 with very little fanfare ~ even though it was clearly within the 3,000 foot Zone of Exclusion ~ as defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) ~ with their 1996 publication: Texas Resource Management Plan and Record of Decision. This publication defines the Rules going forward for oil and gas drilling activity near the dams and lakes under United States Army Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction.
Two Years Earlier: 2008
On July 15, 2008, Shale gas operator XTO said the following to Grand Prairie, TX City Council (during a Public Hearing about XTO's Lynn Unit):
"...The Corps of Engineers is aware of this activity based on an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management on this property."
