Audubon Society opposes
water development plan
Associated Press
AUSTIN — A leading conserva
tion group Tuesday declared its op
position to the statewide watei devel
opment plan that Gov. Mark White
and others hailed as a key achieve
ment of the 19H5 Legislature.
The National Audubon Society
said the plan lacks strong require
ments for water conservation or en
vironmental protection and includes
only loose fiscal controls.
1 he $1.4 billion water plan — a
pair of proposed constitutional
amendments that must be approved
by voters Nov. 5 to lake effect — has
too many flaws, said Dede Annen-
trout, vice president of the Audubon
Society’s southwest region.
Ms. Armentrout said the plan
shortchanges protection of bays and
estuaries, doesn’t guarantee that
river systems will continue to sup
port fish and wildlife and fails to
make certain there won’t be too
manv reservoirs “holding back too
much of our rivers’ natural flows."
The Audubon Society, which
counts 20,000 members in Texas,
became the first major environmen
tal group to oppose the plan. Ms. Ai -
memrout said the decision was made
by a half dozen of the Texas group’s
leaders.
The water plan was the Legis
lature’s response to dire predictions
about the state’s future if the boom
ing population growth continues
without sufficient planning for wa
ter supplies.
Proposition I would authorize
$980 million in bonds for water sup
ply, quality and control projects. It
also would create a $250 million in
surance fund to guarantee water
bonds issued by cities and other po
litical subdivisions.
Proposition 2 would authorize
$200 million in bonds for low-inter
est loans to farmers to buy water-sav
ing equipment.
Although the Audubon Society
recognizes the need for water con
trols, Ms. Armentrout said lawmak
ers could have done better.
“I think there’s hope we can get
something better. Water is probably
among the top two or three issues in
the state,” she said.
She said the plan could trigger
pork barrelling by legislators who
would be able to trade support for
water projects in their districts since
the plan would eliminate require
ments for voter approval of state
spending on water projects.
She noted that voters have re
jected plans tor pumping water
from the Mississippi or other rivers
to West Texas and for dredging the
11 inity River to allow ship traffic
from the Gulf Coast to Dallas.
“Both of these water projects have
met defeat at the polls time and time
again. With the new amendment,
however, the decision will be taken
out of the voters’ hands and placed
in the political arena,” she said.
“Texas taxpayers should think
twice about embracing the pork bar
rel generated by Proposition 1,” she
said.
