Meeting summary
BSEACD approved Needmore Water LLC’s regular historical permit for 289 million gallons per year of Trinity Aquifer water for agricultural uses, 5–0, with Rule 11 conditions and a $2,500 annual monitoring contribution. Staff forecast unreasonable interference under maximum pumping and severe drought, but recommended approval with Amos-well monitoring and curtailment up to 100%. Attached slides preserve thresholds and duties, and also contain an annual-volume/unit discrepancy that must not overwrite the adopted motion. TESPA opposed approval; applicant counsel supported it. No current permit status or later compliance is established.
