There will be no big rig gas drilling trucks by Bowen and Bardin!
The Rush Creek Pad Site was denied by City Council last night, after a lengthy meeting. Attendance at the meeting was standing room only (about 300 attendees, guessing) and there were 25 speakers for and 34 speakers against. There was a very spirited presentation by all speakers raising good points regarding their stance. In summary the primary reason for the denial is its location within a high density area of a neighborhood. City Council suggested that Chesapeake find another location to drill for this area with less of an impact on the neighborhood.
The last site on the agenda last night was the Truman Drill Site at 310 N Collins St which was approved by City Council. There were 4 speakers for and 5 against.
City Council did make the comment that they are for drilling in Arlington but they are careful to consider the location of Pad Sites within our city.
My intention is to be knowledgeable about proposed land uses, understand the natural gas issues pro and con, communicate major issues to SWAPO membership, meeting our neighbors, and understanding their view points while furnishing related resource links located at the bottom of this blog so that they can make informed decisions.
Thank you
