Our environmental compliance staff in the Storm Water Department would be the ones that could answer that question. I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with the testing processes that they use to check for contaminants.<br /><br />MYtoeSPACEpillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024543514726579594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364673723029953824.post-36744362424466909232012-09-15T10:11:46.238-05:002012-09-15T10:11:46.238-05:00As usual, our City has a ready explanation blaming...As usual, our City has a ready explanation blaming it on the weather. It's time for the Fish Creek Neighbors to set aside some of that gas royalty money to pay for our own independent testing. <br /><br />When this fish kill was originally brought to the City's attention, we were told that one possibility for the fish kill could be the bentonite clay exploding up from gas drilling. The man who told us this said it as though he had seen this sort of thing happen before. Our guess is that someone at the City probably shushed him for opening his mouth.<br /><br />We also spoke with a TCEQ rep who shared information about a fish kill that happened last year in North Richland Hills caused by laying gas gathering pipelines near Highway 820. We are disappointed that TCEQ refused to come out and test our water. Perhaps they did not want to make a similar discovery.

I haven't heard anything from our cities warning residents about the potential danger of eating these fish or even putting one's hands or feet into that water. What if this was due to a toxic discharge?
