"The Boring Company has applied to discharge 143,000 gallons of treated wastewater daily into the Colorado River near my home. I'm concerned they will not follow the terms of this permit.
They have already received multiple environmental violations and public records show that they are not working with regulators in good faith. "

"Dow’s water rights have long been a point of contention up and down the Brazos. But during Texas’ miserable 2011-2015 drought, these tensions exploded into an all-out legal battle that engulfed the whole state."

"... the Brazos is now a captive and contaminated river. As a “navigable” waterway, the river ostensibly belongs to the public. But in reality, a significant portion of the water that Graves canoed down in 1957 had long been destined for the intake pumps of Dow. And once the company’s plants are done with the water, they don’t always return it in the same condition."

If you’re of any mind to ask the Texas legislature to act this session, ask them to fund staffing initiatives for almost any agency asking for funding. State agencies of all stripes are chronically underfunded for staffing. Particularly those like #TJJD but also #TCEQ, #PUC etc. #txlege #Texas #policy #staffing #utilities #criticalinfrastructure
