The reporter forgot to mention that the April 2011 Arlington event conincided with another drill site spewing on the other side of town on the DWG line, yet the people affected or calling in to 911 were from the Arlington side. -
Kim Triolo Feil · Sorry but I count almost 40 events for the DFW area that I know about (I would know more if the city didn’t want to charge me over $200 to find out)….these include foul rotten egg odors and other type releases and spills (like into Lake Arlington our drinking water source) or truck fracking traffic related spills from hurried or sleepy drivers (one child was accidently struck and killed)…but no blow out yet. Ice ice storm baby…get ready….hope the red button works if the icey roads let the experts get to it….co-existing with gas wells = risk-isting. Oh please don’t get me started on those viagra related lift compressors at alot of these sites….hope the electricity stays on or an emergency shut down will release raw gases and BTEX into the airshed or into the storage tanks where they just invisibly vent…but if you want to see what an infrared camera uncovers on those storage tanks look at the video entitled “Lake Arlington Natural Gas Storage Tanks Infrared FLIR camera reveals toxins constantly spewing”….no wonder why people say there is a cancer cluster near Marin Highschool and the Lake Arlington area.

28? Roughly four per year in one single city does not make it an uncommon occurrence at all. That’s one every three months, just in Fort Worth.
Those are my neighbors and yours that are having to deal with this. Uncommon my……

The FWST reports, “Arlington said it responded to one leak this year.”
Perhaps they forgot about these:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/142848947/Bruder-Gas-Drill-Site-Incident-Report-052113In addition, we saw Fire Chief Crowson provide testimony during the Texas 83rd Legislative Session. He mentioned that Arlington dispatched emergency crews to gas drill sites MANY times. (Don’t remember the exact number but if those hearings are archived, his statement should be there.)
It is disappointing when the the major newspaper in our area doesn’t get their facts straight. Gas drilling IS dangerous. Leaks are NOT uncommon, and it’s going to get a lot worse ~ especially as the infrastructure ages and corrodes.

Subject: Need your assistance on open records chargeCharlie, as you may know by now my family is paying medical bills for my husband’s cancer treatments.
I did an open records request for 2011 and 2012 gaswell related dispatch records from the fire department because Sargent Crowsen was quoted as appearing in Austin saying that already this year we’ve had 20 dispatch calls to the padsites.
As this industry taxes our airshed, defaces our town, taxes our ER resources, as a concerned City Council member, could you on my behalf do a full inquisition and post these on your webpage or email them to me so that I can make this public info? -
Of course no reply as usual from my incompetent council person.

NOT uncommon. We understand there was another incident of a gas release at that Chesapeake operated Ederville Gas Drill site at around 5:30 this morning. It is unfortunate that residents could not evacuate due to the icy roads.

Does anyone else think it’s kind of wrong that cities are having to pay for extra responders in case of well site emergencies? The oil companies should be keeping an emergency staff of their own on site.
