Calvin Tillman Mayor of Dish, TX

Town performed their own air quality study, 

which cost over 15% of budget. The study 

showed high levels of carcinogens and other 

toxics in the air. One year later they are 

experiencing long term effects. Will provide 

most recent lab results. 

Sharon Wilson Texas Oil & Gas 

Accountability Project

Provided a video of oil and natural gas sites. 

Requested that land farming be examined in 

greater detail and that regulations do not allow 

loopholes for industry to get around standards.

Mark Pulliam Consumer Energy 

Alliance 

Stated global petroleum demand is predicted to 

rise considerably. Using natural gas is good, 

provided it is done so sustainably. 

Roy Brooks Concerned Citizen

Brought up EJ issues about proximity to 

schools and nursing facilities for seniors. 

Wants strong regulations that will make a real 

difference in the community. 

Gary Hogan Sierra Club

Stated that he feels that unless forced to do 

anything, industry will do nothing. He is part 

of a task force that wants old equipment 

brought up to date. 

Mark McCord Dallas Down River Club

Barnett Shale experiencing tremendous growth 

and local air quality is suffering. Brown haze 

in LA twenty years ago is common in Dallas 

now. Also made references to GasLand 

documentary and fracking fluids.

Melissa Taldykin Consumer Energy 

Alliance

Oil and natural gas industry provides 24% 

Texas wealth. Large producer of jobs, Texas 

has 8% unemployment. Gas is the lowest 

emitting conventional fossil fuel. Wants a 

holistic approach to finding ways to meet air 

goals. 

Andy Cheshier CARE

Lives around compressors, tanks with wide 

open lids, and people are having sickness. 

Complained of 60 decibels of noise around his

Molly Rooke Concerned Citizen

Family ranch with oil and natural gas 

operations on land. Oil and gas companies 

have not done what they could do, only what 

required to do. If CAA can’t help regulate oil 

and natural gas emissions properly can 

Congress do it?

Linda Hanratty League of Women 

Voters of Texas

Provided a list of options to be included in new 

regulations, similar to Al Armendariz’s study. 

Barnett shale now as over 14,000 wells and 

13,000 pending. 

James Brazell Law Office of James Z. 

Brazell

Natural gas is still one of the most important 

fuels in US. We demand power; natural gas 

makes that power available. Wants to keep 

natural gas competitive while trying to solve 

these problems. 

Deborah Rogers Concerned Citizen

Energy company built well pad next to property 

line and she owns a working farm. Began to 

monitor air on her own with 24 hour canisters, 

which showed Benzene levels at borderline 

long term affect levels. TCEQ was on site that 

day and their monitor read significantly lower 

as it was not the proper type of air monitor. 

Spent over $30,000 to protect her job. 

Dewayne 

Quertermous Sierra Club

EPA should not allow exemptions of start ups, 

shutdowns and maintenance turnovers. 

Fracking fluids should be disclosed and account 

for fugitive emissions. 

Julia Burgen Concerned Citizen

Stated that any business plan maximizes profits 

and minimize costs. Government agencies 

must ensure industry play fair and protect 

public and consumer health. 

Esther McElfish North Central TX 

Communities Alliance

Ensuring safe air emissions is the cost of doing 

business. Tough regulations will not put 

industry out of business. The level of activity 

has grown exponentially in neighborhoods, by 

schools, in small communities and it’s no 

longer the same industry of 30 years ago.

Libby Willis Fort Worth League of 

Neighborhoods

Imperative to have a federal clean air act in 

regards to this industry. No environmental 

impact studies were performed before drilling 

began in Ft. Worth. The pace and level of 

drilling in such a high dense population must be 

monitored to ensure public health and safety. 

Rev. Kyev Tatum Southern Christian 

Leadership Conference

Corporate wealth should not be put before 

community health.

Jimmy Hosch Sierra Club

Let those who generate the “cost” of pollution 

pay it. Oil and gas is so cheap because we 

overlook the social costs including war and 

environment. When industry actually pays 

their own environmental costs, the real price of 

energy will be felt by consumer. Thus, 

allowing alternative energy to come online. 

Kanini Brooks Sierra Club

Elevation of wealth over safety. Agencies 

came into neighborhood and no local 

monitoring or enforcement guidelines. Her 

children's school is just a few feet from well 

head. 

Cherelle Blazer Environmental Defense 

Fund

Will be sending comments. Smaller sources 

must be aggregated for the public welfare. 

Henry Thomas Eastwood Neighborhood 

Association

Concerned over not knowing what the 

allowable emission levels are and wants to 

know that companies are being properly 

regulated and checked for compliance. 

Johnny Lewis Eastwood Neighborhood 

Association

Stated he knows of sites emitting lead and other 

toxics. Thinks that bonuses and royalties given 

to land owners do not cover the health costs 

incurred on the residents.

Braden Pritcher Concerned Citizen

Public health is linked to environmental health 

and continues to be confounded by allowable 

pollutants in the air. Argues that any amount is 

not safe. Citizens should not be able to ignite 

their drinking water. 

Gary Stuard InterFaith 

Environmental Alliance

Concerned about public and environmental 

health. Oil and natural gas industries know 

about the toxins and cancers, but they suck up 

the resources and leave us poisoned.

John Rath Sierra Club

Need to have an entity they can trust (not 

TCEQ). Want to be sure EPA looks at the 

entire industry when looking at regulations. 

Citizens should be well informed before oil and 

natural gas operations take place.

George 

Schlemeyer Oil & Gas Veteran

Gave an overview of drilling and stated vapory 

recovery systems are not used if hydrocarbons 

are not present. Safety is foremost on the

minds on site in finding and obtaining 

sustainable energy future. 

Terry Jensen Concerned Citizen Main concern was about the health of the 

community.

Kimberly 

Frankland Concerned Citizen

Oil and natural gas industry should use best 

available technology to protect us. City 

Council is re-writing regulations now. 

Tolli Thomas Concerned Citizen

Any industry needs requirements to act 

ethically whenever money is involved. Stated 

that natural gas is not clean to produce or 

process. 

Barbara Koerble Concerned Citizen

Drilling is occurring close to houses and 

business and no one to regulate. Salt water 

injection wells are becoming dumping areas in 

rural communities. Loss of trees to drilling 

sites. Wants to know why known carcinogens 

are still used in the industry and released to the 

environment.

Doreen Geiger Concerned Citizen

City council approved well drilling 175ft from 

apartment complex. Energy company said 

emissions from Barnett Shale didn’t need to be 

captured anywhere in the Shale. She doesn’t 

understand why the company is allowed to 

make that decision. 

Daniel O'Leary Concerned Citizen

Wants effective regulations with 

comprehensive third party monitoring and stiff 

penalties for non-compliance. 

Jay Olaguer Houston Advanced 

Research Center

Has data that shows formaldehyde emissions 

may be underrepresented in the inventory.

Bill Ellis Concerned Citizen

Concerned about government getting involved 

because he believes the government causes 

more problems then what was there to start.

Also concerned about the higher infant 

mortality rates than 3rd world countries in 

Arlington. 

The EPA presentation made at the beginning of the session, and the subsequent 

remarks/presentations made by members of the public generated questions and discussion on a 

variety of topics. Following is a brief list of the most prevalent topics. The audio (or video) files 

available at http://www.epa.gov/airquality/oilandgas/ will provide complete information on the 

discussion related to these topics.

 Use of the Natural Gas STAR program information in the rulemaking.

 Regulation of engines at oil and natural gas sites by the Reciprocating Internal 

Combustion Engines (RICE) MACT.

 The Clean Air Act major source definition as applied to the oil and natural gas industry.

 How size thresholds and other applicability criteria for storage tank regulatory 

requirements can be manipulated.

 How small emission sources in specific areas may be regulated.

 The myriad of EPA acronyms and terminology.

 Consideration of non-air related impacts in regulatory decisions.

 Potential regulation of methane emissions.
