Busy day today at the Will Rogers Memorial Center. The Fort Worth Coalition for a Reformed Drilling Ordinance (CREDO) will rally at 11 a.m. before the joint meeting of the City Council and the Gas Drilling Task Force meets from noon to 3 p.m. to discuss the pipeline issue in the South Texas Room of the Amon Carter Jr. Exhibit Hall.

FWCREDO calls for a city-imposed moratorium on gas well permitting until:

Plans are in place to accommodate the total impact of urban gas production over the life of the activity

Post-depletion planning is in place to protect future residents

Planning for gas production is integrated with the city’s Comprehensive Plan and other appropriate plans

Regulations are in place to assure safe operation of the total gas production activity

The City Council/Task Force meeting won’t be broadcast live, but it will be rebroadcast at 8 p.m. on Aug. 8 on Charter Ch. 27, Verizon Ch. 35 and STI Ch. 7.
