Concerns City Of Adrian & Adrian Township Residents Should Have About Oil and Gas Production Facilities In Your Area!



1.     What is going to be the processing capacity of the plant?
2.      What are they processing (crude, natural gas?) and into what?
3.      How do they plan to provide secondary containment for the facility? (Earthen (Clay)? with High density polyethlyene (HDPE) liners, geotextile liners?, concrete?)
4.      How are they going to dispose of produced water and other wastes?
5.      How are they going to recycle used oil?
6.      What type of air permit will be required? Will it be title V (title V means it pollutes a lot)
7.      What is going to be the storage capacity for oil at the facility?
8.      Who is doing the NEPA study on the environmental impacts from the plant and the pipeline and gathering pipelines associated?
9.      Another concern is what is the potential for increased 18 wheeler traffic in the area and
the safety involved with that?
10.  What are the potential chemicals they will be using at the facility?
11. How equipped is the LEPC in the area (Local Emergency Planning Committee) to respond to an emergency?
12. And who will take on the cost of upgrading fire and hazmat services the community will need from this facility?
13. How much Noise, Vibration and Odor will this facility produce and what will this do to our property values?
14.  What is the potential life span of this facility? 25 to 30 years?
15. How will the City of Adrian spend the proceeds from this operation and will they post the revenue on the city web site with transparency?
