Oil and natural gas are undoubtedly one of the behemoths of today's economy. As companies in the industry continually seek new places to drill, it is inevitable that they turn to sources in all sorts of places - and recently, attention had turned to Lake Lewisville due to it being a possible natural gas drilling site. A portion of Lake Lewisville property was to be auctioned off in a federal lease program, where mineral rights to a plot of land are given to the highest bidder. Concerns were raised about polluting the lake due to the drilling and fracking that would take place, and after the property was removed from the auction in late 2015, it also failed to make the spring 2016 auction. Though the Lake Lewisville plot was never sold off, other areas have had problems with this same lease program.
