    The Board and the wellhead committee which includes myself and Ed Flinchem, have been monitoring the proposed expansion of Cadman. 
    They have revised the timeline for submission for the permit several times. It appears they are planning now to submit in the summer of 2023 and the hearing in the fall of 2023. 
    I was privileged to hear a lot about the original permit process from several community members over the last 17 years of owning my property here in Big Bend. Many of our owners here may not know that during Cadman’s permitting process in 2004, our community was instrumental in a good portion of the over 50 conditions that are listed in the permit. Also, because of the testimony and hard work by the Big Bend Community, we are listed as one of the stake holders on the permit. That was quite the accomplishment. 
    The wellhead committee had also met with Cadman in the summer of 2022 and expressed concerns about several conditions that we feel they are violating on an ongoing basis. Some of which are: the uncovered loads, mud/rock on the Hwy, starting operations before the 7am allowed work time. 
    I have documented many of these violations and hope to use them at the hearing for the expansion.
    There is a website by a person not in Big Bend that I will attach, that shows nicely what is being planned for the expansion.
    Feel free to message me with any violations that you are aware of or concerns about the Cadman Expansion Project.
