STAFF REPORTS
The recent fish kill caused by a sewage spill in Kyle will be a topic of discussion at the Plum Creek Watershed Partnership Steering Committee at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 9 at Lockhart State Park.
The meeting will also include a discussion of feral hog activity in the creek’s basin as well as implementation of better land management practices.
“This is a great opportunity to learn about the successes and struggles watershed landowners are facing as they work to improve water quality,” said Pamela Casebolt of the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board.
Plum Creek is a 52-mile stream that begins in Hays County north of Kyle and flows southeast through Caldwell County, passing Lockhart and Luling to its confluence with the San Marcos River near the Caldwell-Gonzales county line. With additional flow from Clear Fork, West Fork, Bunton Branch, Town Branch, Salt Branch, and other small streams, Plum Creek and its tributaries drain an area of 397 square miles.
