More salvos were fired last week in the ongoing fight between Hill Country landowners, environmentalists and energy giant Kinder Morgan.
The Wimberley Valley Watershed Association (WVWA) and the Trinity Edwards Springs Protection Association (TESPA) have jointly threatened to sue Kinder Morgan after the company’s contractors breached a karst feature March 28 during construction of the Permian Highway Pipeline (PHP), which fouled nearby wells.
The groups contend the Texas Hill Country is too full of sensitive features to make it a safe place to put a portion of the 430-mile, 42-inch natural gas pipeline and that the breach resulted in 36,000 gallons of drilling mud and fluid going into the Trinity Aquifer.
