Energy companies often retain consultants to help them plan their proposed projects. They want to know if any sites have been recorded in the area where they plan to drill as well as the potential for other resources not yet reported. It is not unusual for the project area to encompass several hundred square miles. BVRA has been a part of this process for several companies with the largest client being the environmental firm of Dixie Environmental Services, Inc. (DESCO) in Magnolia, Texas. Avoidance Plans 1-26 were authored by William E. Moore and Edward P. Baxter and published by BVRA in the Avoidance Plan series. Avoidance Plan 27 was prepared by William E. Moore, Edward P. Baxter and Exa M. Grubb (also a BVRA report). The majority of these documents were written while working for DESCO. The exact titles of some avoidance plans are not available at this time. They will be added later.
