Site Decision Letter From Williams

Two neighbors does not a community make! Classy move by all involved!

I’d rather have Satan for my neighbor than Williams Petroleum.

Kelly Swan (Williams, Chesapeake, XTO, Devon, Red Oak, and all other oil and gas companies that are involved in this kind of slippery, non-tactical, decision making. This is for everybody who puts profit before people.)

I invite you to come live in our beautiful town. I’m sure you can get in
at a price that would please you. In fact, our property values just
nearly diminished, thanks to the inability, or just plain, hard headed,
egotistical, idiotic, STUPID decisions made by you and your company.

Welcome to the world of Bartonville, where the Natural Gas Headache and
the metallic taste in my mouth is what I deal with every day. For this I
personally thank you. Come and enjoy the ambiance, and increase your risk
of cancer by 50%.

I want to personally thank you for ruining our way of life, as well as
endangering my life, my neighbors lives, the lives of my children and of
all living creatures within the radius of this facility. I’m sure we’ll
never forget you and everything you’ve given to us, and will keep giving
us.

The irresponsibility of your company, the lies, and the deception, are
true to the nature of natural gas drilling. I’m not quite sure how you
sleep at night knowing the dangers you put me, my family and my community
in.

Not only will I hold Williams personally accountable for personal
endangerment, I will strongly encourage my community members to follow
suit in the long term fight against you and your company.

You should see the research put out by the University of New Mexico in
regards to injection well sites. You should see the unsafe practices I
see at other sites. I have great pictures of a site nearby where the frac
truck is spewing water on the ground of the condensation tank area encased
in a huge puddle of toxic waste. Just last week, in Wise County, I saw a
frac truck spewing toxic waste similar to a releasing fire hydrant.

You’re truly on crack if you think, that this is safe for our community or
if your measly ‘safety’ list means anything to us. Oh, I see, it’s all on
YOUR TERMS. When you want to test, when you need to test. And what about
the rest of the time. I don’t trust you and I don’t trust Williams, and I
have heard only lies from you and your company. And that’s what I tell
everyone too. Don’t worry, your company will screw you just like they
screwed us. Don’t worry, it’s just the nature of the business.

Williams is an unsafe, unreliable, business, who cares nothing but the
bottom dollar. They don’t care about the truckers, or the community
members, but you can bet the CEO will get more than his share while
everyone else sits back and gets cancer for doing all the dirty work.

It’s simple:
Williams needs to do on site recycling, like in Colorado
Williams needs to put fans on returns at facilities to collect escaping
VOC and return them for sale.
Williams needs to use drills that don’t require compression.
Williams needs to get the frack out of my town.
Williams needs to come clean and do things the right way and stop injuring
innocent people in the cross fire of their pocket books.

This site is on a flood plain. This site looks worse then the high
security federal prison in South Western Colorado. I know Williams is
scared of the POWER of the PEOPLE. We see it in your operation. We see
it in your higher condensation tank build. We see it how you load the
gravel shoulder high around the tanks. We see it in your disrespect for
human life. We see it. We are not stupid like Williams thinks we are.
This area drains to Lake Grapevine so the area of human contamination is
more than what you think. It’s Southlake, Grapevine, Keller, as well as
our community, as well as all families who fish and play in the lake.

Williams better cover their asses in this whole ordeal because, I’m pretty
sure we’re going to bust it open like a pecan when this all goes south.

Yours truly and sincerely with all love and respect so duly listed above.

Karma pay backs are a bitch,

Jayme – my heart is breaking for your sweet family and EVERY neighbor and community member that will be impacted by this facility. It is a shame that Argyle will now be known for this site and the impact it has on our community, rather than the many wonderful things our small town has to offer. This is yet another classic example of how the power and greed of a minority can so affect the majority – people must become educated on who they elect to office and let their voice be heard in their vote. ALL I know to do at this point is keep praying – God is still bigger than the Oil and Gas industry AND our local officials.

Death of a Dream. Many of us moved to Argyle, and the surrounding unincorporated areas to build and live surrounded by beauty. 14 years ago I actually saw a firefly and a sky full of stars, something I had not seen since childhood. So many of us out here came for similar reasons. I am heartsick for Jayme, Don, Susan, Kelly, Gracie, and everyone else I have met through this experience. Pretty much, Williams knocked on your doors, handed you a letter, which in reality was a great big F you. For those of you who follow and have signed on for the “mailbox”money, and were not told the whole truth about the processes involved, please come forward and tell your stories, I know so many who have said the money was not worth it and have tremendous regrets. So many of us have put everything we had to build and live our dream on our little piece of paradise. Our hard work, sacrifices, and investments are worthless compared to to the safety of our families and friends. Please be silent no more, to survive this and keep what we have left, we need everyone to speak out. There are very few things in our lives more important than standing up for what is ours.
