Bob and Lisa Parr – Bob, Lisa and Emma Parr live in Wise County Texas surrounded by 21 gas wells.
Deborah Rogers – Deborah lives in Fort Worth where industry claims the gas is dry so the emissions are less harmful.
Sandra DenBraber – Sandra also lives in a “dry gas” part of the Barnett Shale. Her home in Arlington is 600′ from UNT’s Carrizo facility.
Tim and Christine Ruggiero – On September 16, 2009, Aruba Petroleum began drilling 2 wells on Tim and Christine Ruggiero’s property
