This quote is from the Argyle-Bartonville Communities Alliance when they reported odors at a drilling site:
"Inspectors with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality have told the ABCAlliance that they have been out to test the air, but ultimately they have no jurisdiction during the drilling process. That belongs to the Texas Railroad Commission.
The most TCEQ can do is fine operators in the area for “nuisance,” they cannot force the operator to switch to electric drilling or otherwise control emissions. Once someone gets sick, they can do a little more."
IF Hilliard really does drill up to 20-22 wells, that means during the drilling process it could really put out numerous odors or VOC's. The TCEQ can't do anything. How long does it take to drill that many wells, actually how many years?
