Saw this in the back of the Glen Rose Reporter Newspaper for April 9, 2009. SCWD is asking for a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit # WQ0004877000 (EPA ID # TX0131911) to discharge treated water not to exceed 150,000 gallons per day. The discharge route is from the plant site to Wheeler Branch, and THENCE TO THE PALUXY RIVER.If you want to comment on this application, you can do so or request a public meeting to Office of the Chief Clerk MC 105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or electronically at www.tceq.state.tx.us/about/comments.html. Or you can call for more information to TCEQ at 800-687-4040.

Seems like I remember that somebody at the high school would have the kids out checking out the Paluxy River. Generally, I wonder what kind of monitoring is done of the Paluxy or Brazos for contaminants and pollutants?
