MOTION - 6/16/82
14. The recommendation of the Bay Drilling Committee be approved that a
permit for a seismic survey utilizing underground explosives be
granted to Geo Seismic Services as contractor for Exxon Company,
U.S.A. The survey will extend from an area outside of the city limits
on Mustang Island into the southern end of the Mustang Island State
Park. No complaints were received as a result of a previous similar
survey or at a public hearing held pertaining to this application.
Explosive discharges will be limited as to depth, size, time and
location. A five million dollar public liability insurance
certificate has been posted. The Land Drilling Ordinance prohibits
the use of explosives for seismic surveys but authorizes the Council
to waive the provision if the public health, safety, and welfare are
adequately protected.
