How to Alienate Friends- Build a Drilling Waste Plant in Rural Texas

Trash has to be sent somewhere. But, no one wants a trash pit in their neck of the woods. Even less popular than trash is drilling waste.  

Where to dispose of drilling waste? Not in Nordheim, TX, population 315. The arguments against it are the same as they would be in Austin or Dallas. The waste facility will affect land use & will negatively impact property values.  

The Railroad Commission apears inclined to approve the permit. The commission looks at the impact on groundwater. The citizens of Nordheim want their concerns heard.  [Texas Tribune] [Learn about Nordheim]
