Garza Energy Trust<\/em> (in which the court held that fracking reaching beyond property lines was not a trespass).\u00a0 One justice explained that he found it difficult to get his head around the idea that pushing fracking proppant onto the land of another would not be trespass, but that waste water\u00a0migrating onto the land of another would constitute a trespass.\u00a0 Counsel for Farming distinguished <em>Coastal\u00a0<\/em>on two grounds:\u00a0 (1) that case involved oil and gas production, meaning that it was governed by the Rule of Capture; and (2) in <em>Coastal<\/em>, the claim of trespass was made by a royalty owner who did not own a possessory interest in the subsurface land, whereas here Farming owns the subsurface area and the right to exclude others from that land.<\/p>\n<p>*\u00a0 Counsel for EPS pointed out that there was no limitation being placed upon Farming by the injection of waste water under their property.\u00a0 For example, Farming could still use the same formation to inject waste water if it wished to do so.\u00a0 Counsel also used this point to distinguish the <em>Edwards Aquifer Authority v. Day<\/em> case, as in <em>Day<\/em> there was a government imposed limitation on the amount of water that could be pumped from the ground, and no such limitation applies to Farming in this case.<\/p>\n<p>*\u00a0 The justices asked an interesting question of counsel for EPS regarding the impact of depth on their argument.\u00a0 In this case, the waste water at issue is injected 7,000 feet underground.\u00a0 The justices posed the hypothetical of waste water being injected at only 50 feet underground and asked whether trespass would still occur.\u00a0 EPS&#8217; counsel responded that no trespass would occur in that situation because regardless of the depth, there is no reasonable expectation of Farming to be able to exclude another from the subsurface of the land.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*This article is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.* Today the Texas Supreme Court heard oral argument from counsel in Environmental Processing Systems, L.C.\u00a0v.
