A very important vote is before the Denton City Council on September 11th at 6:30PM. The company, Eagleridge is asking for a variance from the gas drilling Moratorium.
This is a very important and precedent-setting case in Denton.
Here are some questions:
How long does a drilling permit last? What constitutes a permit?
What are the limits of municipal police power?
Can these cases wait until the Moratorium has ended and the new gas drilling ordinance is passed?
If operators have previous significant violations, how does this affect decisions to allow them to operate?
If you are free that evening, please show up and voice your concerns about this case.
