Somehow back in June I neglected to post these heartbreaking photos taken by Mara Eurich of the damage done to Hamilton Pool by the runoff from The Ranches at Hamilton Pool development:

TCEQ has fined the developers $85,000, but Travis County considers that inadequate, and may sue for the full cleanup of Hamilton Pool and Hamilton Creek, which are still coated with chalky sediment.

Considering what to do is on the Commissioner's Court agenda for October 16.

Update: here is the TCEQ complaint.
