Disposal Wells Needed

That's what the note from the Fort Worth Planning Department says.  Due to truck traffic.  What about all that truck traffic to frack a well?  Or do they only damage the roads when they are leaving?

One of THE PEOPLE wrote a letter to the Mayor and Council, any takers betting on an actual response?

Fort Worth City Council and Mayor & others

I have been sent a copy of a flyer being put out by the the City of Fort Worth that I object it's use. 

I strongly object to the City sending out flyers endorsing any increased gas drilling related activities.  This is especially true when the flyer is endorsed showing biased intentions.  In this case, "Gas drilling has increased the need for saltwater disposal wells."  The truth is, there needs to be more recycling, and not more injection wells.  By recycling, I mean reusing the water that is now being wasted, like when using injection wells.  This does not include the evaporation of the toxic waste water into the air that some companies try to pass off as recycling.

At a time when there is no doubt injection wells have caused or contributed to increased earthquakes near injection wells, why would City leaders even consider putting the citizens at risk?.  The DFW international airport allowed an injection well on the airport property several years ago, using this same logic the City is using now.  Shortly after it went into operation, there was an earthquake at DFW International that most experts agree was caused by that injection well.  Even the owner of that injection well ceased operation because they knew what caused the earthquake.  Even though many earthquakes are classified as small, they still cause damage such as bricks walls falling, cracked patios, damaged streets and overpasses, if it was your house, you would not consider it small.  Major damage is only reported as such when there are buildings literally destroyed.  Why would the City consider bringing them into a populated area like Fort Worth?  You have to wonder?

The industry told us many times there is no danger from injection wells, now they only say they are regulated.  Unfortunately, they are regulated by those who have heavy ties to the industry.

"Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me."   How stupid have we become?

Someplace along the way it appears Fort Worth has lost sight of what happens to the people.
