Dallas Morning News Editorial On New Gas Ordinance

Share:

Drilling in Dallas - floodplainGets a lot of things right, but also leaves out a lot, like floodplains, air pollution, compressor stations, and full disclosure.

The next City Plan Commission meeting on the drafting of the new ordinance is at 9 am,Thursday July 11th at Dallas City Hall in 5ES on the fifth floor. They're due to talk about operational conditions, i.e., hours, dust, noise, chemical disclosures, landscaping, monitoting an baseline testing.

Seems like a good time to mention that you can send the City Plan Commission a quick e-mail about what the new gas ordinance should contain by going to our "Featured Citizen Action of the Week."
