on a request by America’s second-largest homebuilder — Lennar Homes — to allow its partner — Municipal Operations LLC — to build a wastewater treatment plant that will discharge between 1 million and 4 million gallons of effluent each day into Helotes Creek on the Guajolote Ranch outside San Antonio.
Astonishingly, TCEQ officials openly acknowledged that neither they nor the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had determined the degree to which “emerging contaminants” would adversely impact human health. Despite that proven science has yet to conclusively affirm these chemicals are safe for human consumption, or that Lennar’s and Municipal Operations’ filtration technology can adequately remove the toxins they plan to dump, TCEQ is moving ahead with the permit approval process as if all is well.
Why would TCEQ risk the health and safety of millions of residents by letting Lennar and Municipal Operations dump dangerous chemicals with unknown health consequences into our drinking water? Should all three entities be allowed to play Russian roulette not with their lives but ours?
