UTArlington Campus Gas Drilling Site Spill 25,300 ppm Salinity near Johnson Creek

UTA Arlington TX natural gas drilling site produced/frac water spill near Johnson Creek 25,300 ppm salinity photos taken by EPA. City Council continues to approve wells without appropriate air or water testing. UTArlington Texas has 22 wells at this one site. Residents and students are forced to co-exist with industrial activity. Ft Worth, Grand Prairie and Dallas are also in ths business. Bye bye DFW "city for the people-we R now fully industrialized".

A word about MCL Maximum Contaminant Level.. no one knows what the combination of 2 or 3 or more different effluents mixed that forms a unique substance that has no regulations. Just because it hasn't been invented (combined) doesn't make it any less lethal. These unknown, multiple, toxic combinations over a cumulative period render us lab rats under the guise of legality.

Go to city of Arlington archived council meetings and watch the day session 2/22 at 43 minutes into the meeting a slip up about a spill at Lake Arlington seven months ago!

Wow you tested the salt content of saltwater. And took pictures of dead grass too. Oh!! My gosh!!! The water runs on the ground when it rains. Those pesky oil companys would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you kids and your dog.... Do us a favor and stop breathing. Your wasting good oxygen.

@boon197999 I like your video-everthing's under control including all our paid off leaders.

I narrated this using terminology Dale Selgrath of the EPA used when Harriet Irby and I met with him to discuss these photos. Hi salinity readings are indicative of a produced water spill. Fracing fluids also are mixed with flow back. Carrizo is unresponsive to my concerns and says they are following the local, state and federal regulations.The lack of regulations and mostly self-regulated industry makes for a lame excuse of the drilling companies to hide behind laxed or absent regulations.
