Midland fights the disposal of oilfield wastewater near its drinking supply! As oil and gas companies struggle to dispose of their #wastewater in the Permian Basin, the city of Midland is challenging applications for disposal wells near one of its drinking water sources. The Railroad Commission of Texas, which regulates oil and gas drilling and disposal wells, agreed in June to give Midland standing to challenge the permits. The case will go before a Railroad Commission administrative judge in January. The dispute highlights two rising challenges in West Texas: where to dispose of billions of barrels of toxic oil and gas wastewater and how to get enough fresh water to keep the taps flowing. #Texas #Environment #environmentalimpact https://lnkd.in/ghbRsxJs
