As we have stated all along, our neighborhood is for peaceful coexistence with the Barnett Shale drilling. That means we expect the drillers, pipeline companies and royalty owners to respect the fact that they are affecting the safety of our neighborhoods, our families and our property values. We expect a high degree of business ethics from the corporations and the royalty owners when placing the wells so as not to adversely affect the health, safety and well being of our families and property.
Representative Phil King has introduced 3 pieces of legislation which attempts to address the worst of the problems. You will need to call and email with your opinion and keep the pressure on. Once the legislative session ends May 31st, it will be another year and half until our next opportunity.
HB3402 Proximity
HB3403 Traffic Through Platted neighborhoods
HB3761 Grants for county roads damaged by drilling traffic
