Back to EpisodesMansfield Residents Fight Wastewater Plant
Description
Residents near Mansfield, Texas, are fighting a proposed wastewater treatment plant, fearing it will contaminate their water, flood properties, and harm wildlife. The developer, BL three seventy-four, seeks a state permit to release up to 490,000 gallons of treated water daily into a local tributary. Locals, including long-time resident Truman Goodman and brothers Paul and Daren Smith, argue against it, citing potential flooding, dirty well water, E. coli risks, and unpleasant odors. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will rule on the permit in June, after a contested case hearing and public comments period.
