This is a very helpful article on fracking, written by Wilma Subra, chemist and MacArthur Fellow Genius Award recipient.
I hope you will read this as we anticipate the city council vote on natural gas drilling in Dallas, which happens next Wed, at noon, downtown in council chambers on Marilla St. A petition is available for those wishing to protest drilling within our city limits, near our public water sources.

Past Incineration - Present Tragedy
As previously noted, I have made a year long study of DIXICO, INC, formerly of Polk St in Oak Cliff, Dallas, using publicly available documents from EPA and TCEQ (Texas Water Commission and Texas Air Commission); and records from 1989, which were obtained and stored for twenty years by a citizen interested in Dixico's incinerator. Basically, I learned that Dixico used and burned hydrocarbons and solvents of various sorts; and at times, discharged chemicals into Cedar Creek, which runs along their site, through the Elmwood residential area.
Citizens opposed Dixico in 1989, with its chemical run-off into the creek, and its ink spray discharged into the air coating cars, and its incinerator with ash covering neighbor's property-eventually leading to the closure of the facility. Also troubling - soil contamination and a hydrocarbon water plume came to light as "closure" of the facility was occurring, leading to lawsuits and perhaps questionable agreements about final closure. (More contamination was allegedly found in the closure process, which caused denials and dispute.)
From what I can tell, and records tell a convoluted tale, Dixico was let off the hook for environmental damage to the land, water, and air of Texas; YET....I see that official online EPA records show an "INCOMPLETE" clean up or RCRA status.
Hopefully, the status question will be rectified, though I dare not anticipate that anyone will ever figure out what happened to the hydrocarbon plume that moved around underground, hopefully dissipating - but possibly expanding under people's homes.
Yes, that is a lot of emphasis on HOPE, friends; not much emphasis on knowledge and science!
But backing up a bit to tell the Dixico story....
In the 1980s, environmental laws were forcing industry, including Dixico, to report chemicals used, and to report the official burial/disposal places for waste-especially toxic waste. Further, Dixico was forced to put lids on storage barrels, label its waste and solvent tanks, keep records, find invoices for raw materials purchased, provide a flow chart for operations, and identify the contents of the bottom of the nasty incinerator, report leaks from the storage tanks-the list goes on....
After reading about NUMEROUS Dixico violations, I realized that as bad as chemical leaks into the soil and water were-AND THEY WERE BAD; the incinerator really was the most worrisome.
To this day, citizens do not know exactly what was burned in that incinerator, in what amounts, and where all the particles of hazardous waste fell. Particles from incinerators can cover a 65 mile radius around the burner and depending on the chemicals/elements burned can be lethal to persons absorbing those substances.
For example, a woman in her fourth week of pregnancy can produce a defective baby due to chemical exposure; while another woman in her twelfth week may be unaffected. This is playing Russian roulette with human life - because a mother-to-be takes walks in her neighborhood or works in her yard? Because a neighborhood industry got a burn permit? What a ridiculous risk of birth defects.
As for cancer, toxins will alter the DNA of one person causing cancer to form years after exposure, when no industrial endeavor could ever be blamed, yet not obviously impair another person in the same time frame.
Toxins can knock out human immunity allowing cancer and many other diseases to take hold in virtually every organ system-in a percentage of a population.
Chemical exposure ups risk - with certainty.
To discover what was burned at Dixico, we must look at the contents of storage tanks and the metals (chromium) in inks, lead and hydrocarbons - including benzene -which saturated the soil; and understand plastics with dioxin, which coated paper. All that survived the manufacturing process-all waste, specifically solvent waste, was burned and flew like Forrest Gump's feather out into the Oak Cliff night (without equipment that could have possibly trapped dangerous vapor).
What a picture...and a destructive gift to sleeping neighbors who would awake to find white ash covering their home environment!
What was in that ash? Chemicals, metals, and other elements that had formed toxic by-products in the burning process.
So why study this now? What good will it do?
I hope that in studying Dixico, Elmwood residents learn why loved ones got sick, and how citizens were and were not protected by agencies charged with public safety. I would like to know the precise condition of the soil and water in this area now; and I would like to see the parent company of Dixico make restitution for harm-if harm honestly occurred.
Also, if more true clean up has been done than my records show, I would like to know what happened; and if toxic areas have been capped/covered with asphalt/concrete, which seems evident in current photos, I'd like to know that for sure.
Yes, these processes and violations happened 20 years ago, maybe 30, maybe more....but as long as someone is alive who lost a parent, a child, a spouse, a sibling to poison that killed as surely as an assassin's bullet, this travesty is, in my opinion, present tense.
We would be wise to distill important lessons from the story of Dixico.

EPA JUST MESSED WITH TEXAS
What do you think about EPA today seizing TCEQ's ability to give permits to facilities (energy, refineries) under the Clean Air Act?
I don't see that EPA had much choice given that THE LAW states certain standards have to be met; and that our governor's "we're doing better" doesn't satisfy that criteria.
Many folks are worried about increased energy prices and job loss in Texas; and rightly so-but this so could have been avoided if a difficult revamping of the way Texas produces and does business had occurred. Instead of doing the hard things that needed to be done, we dug in our heels and tried to sue the federal government.
Being a loyal Texan, I will say no more about what I think of that-but "adolescent" comes to mind. If you disagree-fine; but I would suggest you carefully study the realities of toxic water and air in our beautiful, beloved state. Industry simply could not continue to exploit natural resources forever and not pay a high price, no matter how long it tried to delay the inevitable.
And as for EPA, it exists for a reason-to protect the environment and all American citizens-many of whom can't speak out for themselves.
In my life, I have been confronted many times with the necessity to change. Undoubtedly you
have, too; in times of down-sizing, staff reduction, job change, making less money for more work...even starting over from scratch in a brand new endeavor. It's not easy, but we choose whether we blame others and cause new ideas to fail because of our own negativity and inaction; or whether we accept challenge and create a secure job and more meaningful contribution to the world.
I think business in Texas can work clean and smart if it wants do; and that doing so could create more higher-paying jobs-for scientists, engineers, designers, skilled tradesmen, on and on... What worries me most is whether we have the educated work force to solve our environmental problems in a timely, cost effective way.
Every problem winds its way back to education; education is based hugely on motivation; and motivation comes from having to grow, learn, and change. Do you see how these things can work together?
Instead of saying DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS, we'd be better off chanting TEACH TEXAS!
Or TEXAS, LEARN AND INNOVATE! to earn and survive. Pride and a tenacious spirit will neither save us from poison-and corporate greed; nor will it provide us with livelihood to support ourselves, our communities, and schools.

Yesterday-Our Troubles Aren't So Far Away...
Toxins in the environment, as a subject, is one thing it is easy not to think about- if you don't have asthma or other breathing difficulty, if your skin isn't too sensitive, and you have reasonable immunity to disease. And if you have a lot of other problems to worry about-why add one more?
So I'm really heartened that so many folks including the courageous Flower Mound City Council
have seen and reacted to the dangers of natural gas drilling, in its present form in the Barnett Shale.
I do wonder why more people have not been concerned about toxins in Mountain Creek Lake and the TCE plumes extending out from the Dallas Naval Air Station/Vought plant.
I do question how Dixico in Oak Cliff flew under the radar in a residential neighborhood for so long, and why complete records on Dixico's ink manufacturing and laminating activities have been difficult or impossible to find.
I question how the river bottom industrial area is not a BIG RED FLAG for developers of a supposed recreational, tourist area. Personally, I would not put wildlife in the river bottom in a "refuge"-must less tourists! "REFUSE" is the word for the river bottom-not refuge or respite.
Ruined groundwater is not what Dallas needs to be known for-but what are you going to do?
Our city and state decided to require clean up of asphalt, asbestos, and metal graveyards to a level that would endure a mere five years-until everyone forgets about them and goes on to the next "new thing."
Old and new is an important concept in modern society.
When pollution is "old" we forget about it-not realizing that the ruined land or water will never be renewed by nature in our lifetime, and perhaps not in the lifetime of our children.
The pollution at Mt Creek Lake and Dixico is "old" but still very real. The pollution Flower Mound
avoided would have been "new"-and something we can really do something about.
Should sites polluted thirty years ago be cleaned up now? Is it worth the money?
Personally I would say yes-especially as new technology makes clean up more feasible and less expensive.
In difficult economic times, it is important to remember that the planet and her resources are our
life and comfort, and a trust we care for until we pass it on to others. It is not okay to live for today and live for self only.
Just speaking from my heart, I feel a responsibility to those who were made ill by industry and never knew why. Do you ever think about that? We can't bring these victims back; but we can help their loved ones understand what happened, and work for scientific knowledge and social progress that will eventually spare others.
I think Flower Mound's citizens and city council took a bold step toward making this happen; and I rejoice that they "saw" what toxins do to bodies, families, and cities.
Open your eyes-to see both the risks of today... and the industrial travesties of yesterday that seem to powerfully live on after claiming their susceptible victims.

Drilling "Somewhere Else" - Perchance???
To the person who sent comment about Ledbetter Hills: I cannot find anyone who knows why gas companies would be interested in the location you specified, but it would make sense that if drilling is not going to happen alongside water supplies and residences, alternate locations would be sought. The most knowledgeable guy I know is checking into this and says be aware of behind-the-scenes maneuvering by city leaders who need to make this 34 million dollar take come out well.
Keep watch and keep in touch.
Wishing everyone involved the best, safest possible outcome, which we will achieve by careful oversight and unwavering conviction.

NO DRILLING BESIDE JOE POOL LAKE!
I am beginning my day reflecting on the vote tomorrow by the Dallas City Planning Commission on approving or BLOCKING a drilling rig beside Joe Pool Lake.
As my readers know, I have made a two year study of Mountain Creek Lake (very close by Joe Pool); and I realize if southern Dallas desires a recreational lake of reasonable cleanliness-Joe Pool is it.
We CANNOT afford to pollute and ruin the one lake that is atop the Cedar Mountain watershed-draining down on the Mountain Creek/Oak Cliff area.
Friends, I don't think any of us fully knows the damage pollution of Mountain Creek Lake has done to Oak Cliff-underground - affecting creeks and underground springs which ultimately drain into the Trinity River.
Dallas is in a river bed, in an alluvial region, and all our water is interconnected.
Drilling near our few remaining reservoirs is extremely unwise.
Further, the chemicals coming from the higher regions of Cedar Hill will rain down pollution on the rest of us below.
XTO presents a scenario which they believe they can control.
I say you can't outsmart Mother Nature; and things like height, depth, gravity, wind, etc. will win in the end.
We are but fallible humans on this planet, and we need to work with the forces and processes God has put in place-not against them with our radioactive tracers, salt water, fracking cocktail, ponds, pipes, and trucks filled with waste water.
If drilling must be done-get out of the city!!!
Please read Raymond Crawford's DALLAS DRILLING BLOG - dallasdrilling.wordpress.com. Jenny Land, has one, also. See DALLAS CITIZENS FOR A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON GAS DRILLING on Facebook.
These are both top flight; and will tell you how to attend tomorrow's important meeting or sign a petition asking city leaders to stop, learn, and evaluate what is best for Dallas-rather than give XTO the "go ahead" tomorrow!
Remember, no good decision needs to be rushed and made under PRESSURE.
A sound decision can wait until all the facts are in!

EARTH, WIND, and FIRE-Chromium on Polk?
Did you see today's news story about the chromium 6 plume in California which has grown and migrated until it covers two miles, contaminating numerous wells? This, by the way, is the famous Erin Brockovich contamination situation updated with latest info. See current story at http://www.desertdispatch.com/news/hinkley-9653-lower-showing.html
CHROMIUM...Hmmm. Prevents rust, hardens and coats steel, and creates yellow and green colored pigments, among other things.
Chromium along with lead and toluene has long been a major problem at the Polk St Dixico site in Oak Cliff. And, yes, the word "plume"- pooled excess chemicals - is included in the Dixico records.
If you or a loved one has cancer, and has lived near this plant, I would research Dixico Inc (Dallas) toxic release info-requesting Dixico records from EPA and TCEQ. Several documents and request forms can be found online- but the entire story would require a book- or in my case, a garage full of boxes.
Water is not the only worry at Dixico-maybe not even the primary one. Waste solvents-benzene, xylene, MEK, alcohols, and worse - as well as plastics with dioxins-were INCINERATED for years on S Polk-filling the air with carcinogens for possibly 50-60 years.
This plant offered multiple pathways for chemical exposure: soil, groundwater, the creek, the sewer system, the air...and all in a RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD!
What were we thinking to allow families and carcinogens to co-exist a few feet from one another?
Where were our city fathers with zoning capability and responsibility?
In offices thinking about how Dallas needed Dixico's 250+ jobs, while citizens prevented Dixico from becoming a large scale toxic waste incineration center. (Thank God for citizens with common sense and self-preservation ability.)
Yes, we Texans need industry and goods and jobs-but not poisonous ones in our backyard or neighborhood greenbelt.
Dear reader/friend, I hope you grew up far, far away from Dixico-and I wish my deceased schoolmates had. I wish Dixico had been light years from Winnetka Heights, Winnetka School, and Greiner Jr. High; that lovely old, sheltering Oak Cliff had never heard of laminating potato chip bags with petroleum-based ink and adhesive.
Dixico, from an environmental standpoint, is a disaster that never should have happened anywhere; but especially not next door to Cedar Creek and the Elmwood residential neighborhood of OC.
