Opponents to drilling permits near an Arlington daycare are still pushing City Council to reject the proposal.
Ranjana Bhandari, a longtime resident of the city and the executive director of Liveable Arlington, told theit appeared someone was working on a tank battery at the time. Then, a strong odor filled the air, causing one staffer to get nauseated and another person to feel dizzy and lightheaded.
The TCEQ said: “On Dec. 14, an investigator arrived on site at 2:35 p.m. and conducted a survey around the area of the gas pad and the daycare center. No odors were noted during the investigation. No emissions were noted using an optical gas imaging camera from the pad facilities.” He said while he understands drilling can be associated with certain health problems, he hasn’t seen any evidence yet showing Total Energies' drill site is causing these problems for the daycare or the surrounding communities.
Other council members said they felt they had to approve the gas wells because of House Bill 40, a measure that took effect in 2015 that bars cities from implementing unreasonable regulations on drilling operations.
