Chesapeake Files High Impact Waiver Request for Proposed 8th Avenue Drilling Site

by Steve-O

On Thursday, Chesapeake Energy submitted a high-impact waiver request with the City for the proposed drilling site at Eighth Avenue, according to an email from local attorney and concerned citizen Liane Janovsky. The site is called the ‘Railroad Lease,’ and the hearing is preliminarily set for July 8. Fort Worth & Western Railroad has submitted a letter of support for the waiver application. For an idea of how this might play out, I refer you to my previous post on Bill Davis.

Liane has two recommendations that I also agree with:

  • The public hearing on the proposed high-impact waiver is scheduled at 7 p.m. on July 8 at City Council chambers, 1000 Throckmorton St. If you oppose this site, be there.
  • The Gas Drilling Taskforce Public Hearing is scheduled for this coming Monday at 6:30 p.m., same place. If you have concerns about pipelines, safety, high-impact waivers, injection wells and the ever-narrowing definition of parks by the task force, please be there.
