Stacy Dam fight ends with remand to water agency
Justice Kilgartin states the Colorado River Basin dispute leaves the CRMWD permit filing date of February 21, 1978 intact and asserts that later permits are junior. The Stacy Dam permit, issued in 1979, faced appeals from downstream authorities. The Texas Supreme Court ruled the state water department lacked authority to grant permits when all Colorado water was technically appropriated, though about 2 million acre-feet flow unused to Gulf of Mexico. Senator Montford plans legislation to redefine appropriated water.
