"An Eagleridge Operating worker has been indicted on a felony charge of illegally dumping contaminated water off a gas well site and into a Hickory Creek tributary."
ReplyDeleteHow many times do you think this has happened and no one was caught? This man did not wake up one day and decide "today is the day I will dump contaminated water into Hickory creek". It is like Mike Tremble said in an editorial, this company has shown a cavalier attitude to the city of Denton.
