TCEQ Public Meeting
January 9 @ 7:00 pm
Gram Vikas Partners and principal Kelly Leach have applied for a permit to discharge 300,000/gal/day of wastewater effluent from 1,000 homes planned to be built on 195 acres into Hondo Creek just north of Hondo near CR 442. Hondo Creek is currently classified as one of the 22 Pristine Streams that were proposed for enhanced water quality protection by HB 4146 in 2021. These Pristine Streams are characterized by extremely low phosphorus levels, indicating pristine water quality valued for continued healthy aquatic systems, recreational water use, and local tourism economies. We are concerned about the potential impacts on the water quality of Hondo Creek and the wells used by current residents for all of their water needs. You can read GEAA’s comments here.
Comments should be submitted to TCEQ for permit number WQ0016281001 by Tuesday, January 9th.
You can also attend the TCEQ public meeting to voice your concerns at 7 pm on Tuesday, January 9th at Graff 7A Event Barn, 911 US Highway 90 E, Hondo Texas 78861.
