A Message from Doyle
Martin, former LakeTawakoni.com Webmaster
I have been doing quite a lot of research the last few weeks concerning
MTBE, environmental clean up of MTBE and the possible health effects of
this chemical in our water supply. I have come to a number of conclusions
that I wanted to share with all of you.First and foremost, we can not
afford to let this situation fade away until we can be sure that it is completely
taken care of. There are ways to clean up this chemical, effective ways,
but it is not an overnight proposition. It will take time, and all of us
in the Lake Tawakoni area need to make it our business to make sure that
clean up measures are being taken and are continuing until the contamination
has been cleansed from our waters.
Although I can find no need for panic over the spill, I find a great
need for concern. This chemical is a proven carcinogen and all of us have
been exposed. Now at the current levels of exposure, we shouldn't see any
adverse effects, but as I said above, we all have to stay on the bad wagon
to make sure that the EPA, the SRA, and our senators and representatives
all know that we are concerned and that we will continue to pursue this
until it is resolved.
To this end I am launching an email campaign. Please help your community
and send an email stating your concern over the situation. I have set up
a link on the primary gas spill page that will allow you to send your email
to all of the agencies and senators and representatives who need to hear
our voices. Please, be heard and maybe we can all be better for it.
Email from here:
Send your comments to those who count.
This will let you email your concerns to the following list of recipients:
Region 6 of the EPA
SRA Environmental Services
Our US Senators and District Congressional Representatives
Texas Senator David Cain
The Texas Natural Resource Commission
and the American Petroleum Institute.
Let them all know that you are concerned, that as a community we are
not going to let this problem just fade away. Make sure to tell everyone
you know to join this email campaign so that these people and government
bodies will take us seriously. Thank you all for your support. If we stick
together we can make a difference.
