Houston-based Gulfport Energy, which is already withdrawing 11 million gallons of water from Clendening Lake, “was approved for leasing 1.3 acres near Piedmont Lake at a rate of $5,000 per acre,” and Cleveland-based Enterprise Liquids Pipeline LLC was “granted right-of-way approval to extend drilling pipelines near Clendening Lake,” the article said.
