Texas Accomplishments The Sierra Club's Lone Star (Texas) Chapter has prepared to join lawsuits by landowners against expanding dairies, and against the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for its continued permitting of these facilities. The project is also conducting a full file audit of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission's regulatory history governing industrial dairies in the watersheds. Other accomplishments include: The Texas Water Sentinels project has focused strong statewide media attention on the state's industrial dairy problems. We've organized an unprecedented coalition of landowners, city governments, and county health districts to oppose an industrial dairy permit expansion on the Leon River. We've collaborated with the City of Waco to develop a watershed sampling plan and conduct chemical analyses at the city's water treatment plant laboratory. The project is also partnered with Texas Watch, a statewide volunteer monitoring organization, to train and certify volunteers to collect and analyze quality-assured water chemistry data.
