The pipeline construction should be completed by October 30th at which time we will begin transporting gas to market from our wells.

How would you feel if you started having severe chest pain from the fumes? I had 4 extra air filters running on high and this happened to me. UTA's Spaniolo and Carrizo Oil and Gas both received certifed return receipt letter from my physician and both refuse to help. That should tell you something and it is not good.

With this "head in the sand" attitude of UTA staff and management, I wouldn't send my dog there for an education.

I don't call that harmless. UTA officials, with the assistance of independent, third party experts, should do their own research into the effects of flaring and stop taking the word of a major campus polluter as gospel. Homeowners in the immediate neighborhood are complaining that flaring fumes are detectable. It is unfortunate that a university with a genuine interest in environmental issues has allowed gas drilling to spoil their many worthy projects and, thus, their credibility.
