We thank the RRC for their response to our narrative they had requested. And with it, we identify the real issue, because this is not our first rodeo on the bucking bulls of government agencies. In addition to the standard info that is easy to answer, they add, “There is the questions of liability and delineations of responsibilities that must be addressed.”
We couldn’t agree more – that’s why we went to the RRC in the first place to officially find out this very question. Because the EPA and TCEQ didn’t know and told us to talk to the RRC.
So, since no one seems to know, we say that our partner Wilson Farms owns the water and takes all liability.
Anyone have any different insight on this?
You see, all the facts about the source of produced water, volumes, and water cleaning parameters don’t matter until who owns the water and holds liability for it is figured out.
Meanwhile, the cotton on Wilson Farms in Midkiff are burning from the lack of water.
