Petition in Opposition to Belterra's Sewer Plant Discharge into Bear Creek

There are currently 802 signatures (View the signatures)

We, the undersigned, oppose the direct discharge of treated wastewater into our Hill Country creeks and streams. Furthermore, we request that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) deny the permit application made by Hays County WCID #1 to treat and discharge an average of 800,000 gallons of wastewater per day directly into the headwaters and/or banks of Bear Creek.

Be it through creek recharge to groundwater, faulty plant design, system malfunction or human error, we believe this permit is a sure threat to the health of the Trinity and Edwards Aquifers, to drinking water wells in both aquifers, to a delicate balance of aquatic life, to recreational enjoyment currently provided by Bear Creek, and to the value of all property along its banks.
