This is the same drilling waste disposal well that I posted about previously:
Injection/Disposal Well Failure Dismissed by Texas Railroad Commission
The well has failed again and yet the Texas Railroad Commission gives them 17 days to continue operating while they try to fix the problem. Why not shut them down until they are in compliance? When I posed this question to the Texas Railroad Commission District 9 in Wichita Falls, the inspector replied, “Mam, this is not a Communist country.” Huh?
Company is again cited for improperly operating disposal well near Aledo
Regulating after a failure is too late!
