HCA: Hamilton Pool is an irreplaceable Hill Country treasure

The Hill Country Alliance is tracking the Hamilton Pool degradation story , including the full text of Judge Biscoe's letter to TCEQ. He says:

Based on their site analysis, the consultants have concluded that the Agreed Order to remove visible accumulations of sediment from Hamilton Creek and its tributaries is insufficent. Effects of the site pollution have been documented on a 4 ½ mile stretch between the project site and the confluence of Hamilton Creek with the Pedernales River. There is no mention in the Agreed Order of any remediation of Hamilton Pool. In addition, the Agreed Order does not address site access to affected parties downstream, controls to address the biological and ecological effects of the sedimentation pollution and/or any assesments of remediation alternatives and associated effects downstream.

Go, Judge B!
