SOS vs. Mirasol Springs Development

Mirasol Springs Development: We are representing Lew Adams in a case against a large development planned to surround Roy Creek Canyon, near Hamilton Pool and the Pedernales River. The ecosystem in and around Roy Creek Canyon and the proposed development is fragile and drought prone and is home to the endangered golden-cheeked warbler, Guadalupe bass, the newly listed Texas fatmucket mussel, and Pedernales River springs salamander.
              The sprawling Mirasol Springs development includes a hotel, two restaurants, a farm, and over 50 houses and threatens water quantity in the entire area with plans to extract 105 acre feet of water per year from the already strained Pedernales and 56.7 acre feet of water per year from the dwindling Trinity Aquifer. The development also has plans to dispose of 30,000 gallons per day of treated sewage by irrigating fields near the Pedernales River, threatening water quality too. We are fighting the permits that would allow the development to pump water from the Pedernales River and the Trinity Aquifer and irrigate sewage so close to the Pedernales River; we are also fighting to get protections for the Pedernales River springs salamander under the federal Endangered Species Act.
