The Weatherford Democrat, that's a newspaper in Weatherford, Texas. Weatherford is in Parker County. Parker County borders Tarrant County to the west. Tarrant County is where Fort Worth is.Enough of the geography lesson. Yesterday the Weatherford Democrat reported in a report titled "Another saltwater leak found" that a leak has been discovered in a salt-water transmission pipeline owned by Barnett Gathering.
The leaking pipeline runs through property owned by Cole's Plants, Inc. and Harry's Greenhouses, Inc., near the town of Brock. The leak has already killed plants.
The saltwater running through these type pipes is a by-product of the Barnett Shale fraccing process. The saltwater contains chemicals, metals and other materials that are detrimental to the environment.
This spill is the second in the area to come to light lately.
