Pecos ranchers win go ahead to export brackish water plan
Pecos SS a Pecos County venture by rancher Steve Chapman and Gary Harrell won a groundwater district permit to export up to 10 000 acre feet of brackish water annually from the Edwards Trinity aquifer to supply oilfield leases near Crane Texas. The plan envisions six pumping wells and a 50 mile pipeline to reach oilfield projects with water priced at about 50 cents per barrel. The district will monitor quality and quantity, and the project faced one dissenting vote from John Dorris.
