Update on drilling plans in the Little Green Ark neighborhood.
You may be aware of a town hall meeting scheduled for Thursday, 5 Aug 10, at the Pleasant Ridge Church of Christ, on Pleasant Ridge Rd. The meeting is to update residents of the CATS area on the proposed natural gas drill sites within their boundaries. (CATS is the collection of neighborhoods just west of Green Oaks that assigned their natural gas rights to a leasing company about the time we did back in the spring of 2008.)
Although the meeting is open to anyone, the discussion will not pertain to the residents within the Little Green Ark (LGA) area. While Vantage Energy has obtained the rights to the leases and will do the drilling within the CATS area, Chesapeake Energy remains the drilling company for the LGA area.
We stay in touch with Chesapeake Energy, and with the planning commission that approves drilling sites. We’ve just learned that Chesapeake has identified property adjacent to the Lake Arlington Baptist Church as suitable for a drilling site within the Little Green Ark area. The planning commission will consider approval of the site during their Aug 18 meeting.
We will advise you of the commission’s decision, and otherwise, keep you informed of any developments affecting LGA. As drill site preparations develop, we may hold our own town hall meeting to discuss events.
