Residents and organizations in the Grey Forest area are expressing concerns over the potential pollution risks associated with approving a wastewater permit by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
– Residents and organizations against constructing a wastewater plant north of Grey Forest are on a crunch to contest their case with the state.Amanda Maloukis, General Manager of the Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District , says there are concerns about how the discharge would impact water quality for those who use the Trinity Aquifer.
“If you own your own personal water well, we encourage those water well owners to get baseline testing to start from there so that they always have that record so that if they even need to test their water quality in the future, they always have that,” she said. “This water is mostly in the creek,” Galm, who is worried about losing his well water to pollution said. “It’s like a recharge from springs and stuff that over the years have flowed down. We know that this limestone is so porous that it’s going to, you know, go down there relatively quickly.”
“We need to protect it and not let things get carried out of control,” Galm said. “We’re a year down the road or two years down the road; it is contaminated, and there’s nothing you can do after that. I mean, how do you get that back?”
