Boycott Wal-Mart & Lowes
It's really amazing to me that our State officials have lobbied to keep the grandfathering laws in effect for the love of good old boy money. The SOS Ordinance says
(a) In the watersheds contributing to Barton Springs, no development nor any revision, extension, or amendment thereof, may be approved unless it is designed, carried out, and maintained on a site-by-site basis to meet the pollution prevention requirements set forth below from the life of the project. In order to prevent pollution, impervious cover for all such development shall be limited to a maximum of fifteen (15) percent in the entire recharge zone, twenty (20) percent in the contributing zone within the Barton Creek watershed, and twenty-five (25) percent in the remainder of the contributing zone. The impervious cover limits shall be calculated on a net site area basis. In addition, runoff from such development shall be managed through water quality controls and onsite pollution prevention and assimilation techniques so that no increases occur in the respective average annual loadings of total suspended solids, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, total lead, cadmium, fecal coliform, fecal streptococci, volatile organic compounds total organic carbon, pesticides, and herbicides from the site. For a given project, impervious cover shall be reduced if needed to assure compliance with these pollutant load restrictions. Lowes & Walmart doesnt give a crap about our water supply, why should we spend our money there?
WE NEED TO PUT OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTHS ARE! Boycott Loews & Wal-Mart I have!
