TCEQ will take comments on a proposed wastewater treatment plant in the Hill Country that could discharge 1 million gallons a day into Helotes Creek.
Stuart Birnbaum, an emeritus associate professor of geology at UTSA, gestures toward the location of the housing subdivision planned by Lennar Homes.Our spring member drive is happening now. We need your help to raise $50,000 by May 19 to help our newsroom reach even more San Antonio readers.As a public hearing about a proposed wastewater treatment plant draws near, opponents of the Hill Country development it will serve are ramping up their efforts to halt the project.
Anyone who uses Edwards Aquifer water should be concerned, said Nathan Glavy, technical director for the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance, a San Antonio-based nonprofit dedicated to the protection and preservation of the Edwards Aquifer. Green and others worry that the wastewater treatment plant, a first for the area, could set a precedent, allowing other developers to build wastewater treatment plants and release potentially millions of gallons of treated effluent into creeks located within the recharge and contributing zones of the Edwards Aquifer plateau.
The Guajolote tract is located outside of the SAWS wastewater service area, meaning the utility has no regulatory authority over the development when it comes to disposing of wastewater. SAWS also stipulated in its water contract that the developer must dedicate 50% of the property as open space, and must hire a wastewater operator who holds a master’s degree and has at least four years of experience.
“Water is extremely precious in San Antonio, which is why SAWS rations how much water we can put on our yards each week,” said Schick, who hosted the recent press conference at his home overlooking the future development site.
