Reminder:
Local plants and grasses require only one-inch of water
per week during periods of no rainfall. The water should
be applied only once per week. If it rains – do not
water until the landscape shows signs of needing
moisture. Don’t be Waterless, Water Less and be Water
Smart!

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY ON OPPOSITION
TO TEXCOM GULF DISPOSAL INJECTION WELLS |
|
TexCom Gulf
Disposal, LLC filed applications with
the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) requesting approval to inject
industrial commercial nonhazardous wastes
underground in Montgomery County. TexCom
proposes to inject a variety of chemicals
more than 6,000 feet beneath the surface
through multiple aquifers and at least one
oil formation. TexCom's applications are of
serious concern to many local stakeholders
because of the potential for contamination
of the local aquifers, which are sources of
drinking water supply within Montgomery
County. Montgomery County, the City of
Conroe, the Lone Star Groundwater
Conservation District, and thirteen
landowners formally protested TexCom's
applications. Subsequent to the deadline for
joining in the legal challenge to TexCom's
applications, hundreds of citizens formed
CROW (Citizens/Residents Oppose Wells) to
protest the applications, and several other
water utilities, governmental entities,
developer/ landowners, and state legislators
representing the area publicly expressed
serious concern about the project. Waipiti
Energy, LLC operates oil wells currently
producing in the oil field beneath TexCom's
proposed facility, and recently sued TexCom
alleging that TexCom's proposed project
would impair Waipiti's oil production.
