Also, if it’s water with less than 29 ppm of hydrocarbons, it’s no worse than what we put in the ocean.
Fun fact people like OP seem not to grasp. If you scoop a bucket of water out of the Brazos river and walk it up to location. Do not put anything else in that bucket so that it is still just Brazos river water. That bucket is not clean enough by permit requirements to be dumped back into the Brazos river.

I would hope the facilities would be subject to frequent testing of all Priority pollutants as well as appropriate Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing.
As long as the Effluent isn't and won't contribute to the water body not meeting standards, go ahead. That's exactly what the NPDES program was designed for.

Spot on.

People act like they don't already dispose of wastewater by spraying it on agricultural fields/pastures, and think that all the water used to grow crops now is pristine. In many areas, the natural groundwater has so many ppm of stuff that it limits what you can grow (bermuda grass can be pretty tolerant of saline water) and requires frequent watering to flush the dissolved solids in the water out of the root zone and keep them from accumulating.
It isn't just waste water, the process of landfarming to dispose drill cuttings and drilling mud has been around for a long time. As stated in this legal blog from 2013, there are many commercial operations that already do this and often times operators will contract with these companies rather than deal with the landowners.

This has nothing to do with this article but the Dirty Money episode on Point Comfort (Texas) was frightening. Focused on a Chinese owned plastics company with no regard for environment.

Then why write the article?
Trash journalism and dimwits like the OP and Tejashorn lap it up because they are too stupid and dishonest to look at what they are spoonfed as long as OMB.

It’s treated water. What a silly story. But good to cause some outrage...
Oil companies have very little incentive to put in a good faith effort to treat water before putting it back in streams and rivers.
Would you drink your tap water if it came from that river?
