Mansfield's Gas Well Drilling and Production Ordinances do not reflect protective technology or science that is available. While other Texas Cities have updated their gas well ordinances to include this new science, Mansfield still remains out of step with that change. Mansfield is already saturated with 206 drilled gaswells with another 306 permitted to drill. This activity has brought increase in nuisance odors, traffic, noise, and air pollution. Concerns have emerged regarding safety, excess water consumption, aesthetics of neighborhoods and property values. We have to work together to develop a progressive community with proactive ordinances, protect citizen rights and be a place for future generations to thrive.
Proposed Changes:
- 1500-Foot Buffer Zone for Homes, Schools, Daycare Centers, Parks, and Nursing Homes
- All Electric Wells and Compressors
- State-of-the-Art Air Pollution Controls for Current and Future Wells
- Continuous Air and Water Monitoring
- Better Enforcement and Emergency Response

The stories coming in about air quality and noise in our neighborhoods prove that this ordinance is outdated and dangerous. I am currently drafting a formal request for a meeting with the city council to address our specific buffer zone demands. Text this link to three friends who live in Mansfield and ask them to look at our proposed changes.

Reaching this new level of support shows that our neighbors are finally done with the status quo. Now you must send this link to your city council representative to ensure they know the pressure is on. Post the petition to your social media accounts today to keep the momentum moving.

get on the ball Mansfield, best place to live...... remember that. sick of dealing with these gas trucks, noises, crappy roads because the city wants to make a couple of bucks.
As a resident of Mansfield and a home owner near a metering station I want to know my city is concerned about the wellness of its community and keeps ordinances up to date to protect its citizens and our families.
I support a more stringent gas well ordinance to protect citizens!
Wake up Mansfield!
I would like all drilling to stop.
Please impose stricter regulations on gas well drilling in Mansfield
I want no drilling

It's should completely ban from Mansfield and texas, we live on a neighborhood where our kids go to school with a well behind them.... It's completely ridiculous to risk the live of our kids not to mention the damage to the environment.
