Texas residents blast Boring Co.’s plans to dump wastewater into Colorado River -
Last year, an affiliate of Boring Co., Gapped Bass LLC, applied for a permit to dump 142,500 gallons of treated wastewater per day into the Colorado River. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality subsequently began an investigation into the company after it received complaints.
“This is just a short-term solution, and ultimately we hope to not even utilize the full capacity of what’s being authorized,” Gapped Bass representative Rajit Patel said at the meeting. “I don’t know if ya’ll heard it as clearly as I did, but the reason they want to discharge treated wastewater into the river is because they can’t wait 24 months for that pipe to be run and the permanent infrastructure setup,” Mr. Ambrose said at the meeting.
Mr. Patel explained Boring Co.’s water treatment process at the meeting and said the firm plans to use the city’s treatment center eventually.“I’m very invested here, my family lives here and I have environmental concerns on what I see,” Mr. Ambrose said Tuesday.
