Texas environmental regulators on Wednesday handed a victory to Northwest Bexar County residents fighting a controversial wastewater permit sought by the company behind a proposed 1,100-acre housing development.
Builder Lennar Corp . sought to dump wastewater into Helotes Creek . A judge will now decide the fate of that plan.
SOAH will have up to six months to set a hearing, according to officials with the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance , one of the roughly 80 groups and individuals contesting the permit. An administrative law judge will most likely preside over the hearing. The dispute arose after Florida-based builder Lennar Corp. announced plans to construct the 2,900-home Guajolote Ranch development near Grey Forest and the intersection of Scenic Loop and Babcock roads.
While the TCEQ denied affected-party status in the case for San Antonio Water System and the cities of Helotes and Grey Forest, the panel allowed Metro Health to remain a party to the case as it goes to a hearing.
