Update 2012: Interesting that we've documented a massive drilling operation (Horizontal Directional Drilling/Boring) in the middle of our southern Grand Prairie neighborhoods that apparently has no rules. This is pipeline construction (Boring) and our Texas state laws see ALL pipeline construction as a "public utility" ~ meaning it's all for the public good. So, a private company can set up heavy, industrial activity in the middle of our suburban neighborhoods without any review from our city. Yes. You read that correctly. It's for the public "good."
We've blogged about it ~ click here.

We're glad. We hope the city will take Westchester-Grand Prairie Community Alliance's advice and appoint a Gas Drilling Advisory Board per our recommendations submitted on October 1, 2010.
