In the morning, District Judge Carson Campbell heard arguments by landowners asking the court to stop the permit negotiations between Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District and End Op LP until their appeal for party status (a seat at the table) is heard. The court will rule tomorrow — Friday.
In the evening, in front of 150 folks from four counties over the aquifer — Milam, Burleson, Lee and Bastrop — Lost Pines
took no action — good news.
Even better news is that we — the people — started telling the world about the plans underway to drain the aquifer for no less than 3 mega-permits — End Op, Forestar Real Estate and San Antonio’s Vista Ridge totalling at least 141,000 acre-feet of groundwater per year.

We must go to the Governor — and state and local officials NOW — with this letter petition. Keep getting this out!
