Letter opposes water transport
Submitted by jcht2010 on
Lavaca-Navidad River Authority denied the transport of water using LNRA east delivery system pipeline from Formosa’s Tejano Farm Property to its plant site at the LNRA Board of Directors March 20 meeting in the Navidad Room of the Harry Hafernick Recreation Center.
“The LNRA Board of Directors took action to reserve the remaining capacity in the Authority’s water delivery pipelines for the conveyance of surface water supplies, thereby rejecting the request by Formosa Plastics to use a portion of the available capacity in one of the pipelines to move the company’s groundwater from their Tejano Farm near La Ward to their plant site in Calhoun County,” Brzozowski said.
He also said Formosa submitted an application to the Texana Groundwater Conservation District for a production and transport permit that would allow for the production of up to 0.5 acre-feet of water per acre from their Tejano farm near La Ward.
Morris Sadler read a letter to the LNRA Board of Directors regarding the transportation of water from Formosa’s Tejano Farm Property to its plant site when the board announced they would receive public comments. The letter contained 51 signatures.
“We are submitting this letter to the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority for the purpose of expressing our opposition to a proposed policy of LNRA to transport groundwater for Formosa,” Sadler read. “Our opposition to this policy is based on the belief that government should be limited and should not interfere in the free enterprise of its constituents unless absolutely necessary. Adopting this policy would interfere with free enterprise unnecessarily.”
