Meeting summary
Mid-East Texas heard protests over Delta Sands LLC applications for five proposed Freestone County wells in the Carrizo Aquifer. The board unanimously took no action on the substantive application items and referred them to a hearing examiner for a preliminary hearing. A protester sought a contested case and a study of Carrizo pumping effects on the Calvert Bluff layer of the Wilcox Aquifer; those effects are not established findings.

- reported position
- statement
- Nick Lampkey of Intera summarized evaluation of Westward Environmental hydrogeologic assessment for applicant. Friedman said Fairchild wanted a contested case and was arranging his own study of Carrizo pumping and Calvert Bluff/Wilcox effects. Staff discussed water levels in one area well without giving a numeric level. These are presentations and concerns, not a finding of actual unreasonable impacts.
