Has TCEQ conducted air quality tests in Flower Mound?
Yes. The Town of Flower Mound contacted TCEQ and requested air sampling tests. TCEQ conducted several rounds of testing at numerous locations in Flower Mound that included an odor survey, a Toxic Vapor Analyzer test, and Infrared (IR) imagery surveillance. No odors, nor detectable concentrations of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), were observed. The IR imagery showed emissions consistent with normal operations of the compressor engines and heater units. The tests indirectly tested for benzene as part of the VOC sample. Please visit the TCEQ Web site at http://www.tceq.state.tx.us for additional information regarding testing procedures. Visit the reports from outside agencies section of the Flower Mound Oil and Natural Gas Well Drilling page to review all test reports.
