News from NPSOT’s Tonkawa Chapter. Read more about the threat to Salado Creek at Save Texas Streams.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is currently accepting public comments on the draft permit for Salado Vista, so that’s what you’ll be commenting on. For suggested talking points from Save Texas Streams, go to https://www.savetexasstreams.org/saladocreek and scroll down to “Salado Vista permit problems.”
The short take: Salado Vista’s draft permit has the worst limits of all 12 permits on Salado Creek, because TCEQ believed the applicant’s claim that it would be discharging its wastewater into Darrs Creek. But the actual location of Salado Vista’s treatment plant means that its wastewater will flow into Salado Creek instead — which means that it needs much stricter permit limits.
Please take a few minutes and send in your comment to TCEQ. The deadline is February 23rd. Any comments coming after Feb 23rd are disregarded.
