"Architects are finishing de signs and engineers are finaliz ing plans for Phase I of the pro ject," Steve Beachy said. He said bids for contractors should go out in July or August. Once the bids are approved by the College Station City Council, construction of Wolf Pen Creek's Phase I will begin, Beachy said. "If the bids are approved by late July or early August, con struction will start in Septem ber," Beachy said. The initial project, which is es timated to cost $1.3 million, will include a small lake, walking tra ils and amphitheater. It will take about six months to complete, Beachy said. Phase I is the first step of an extensive development plan for an area south of Harvey Road between Texas Avenue and the east bypass in College Station. The Wolf Pen Creek development sign at the corner of Holleman and Dartmouth displays the funding break- provide 54 percent of the nee FREDRICK D. JOE/The Battalion down of the project. The City of College Station will ded $1.3 million. A portion of this area near the intersection of Holleman and Dartmouth streets already is owned by College Station and will be developed during Phase Additional funding required for a second phase of the project was rejected by College Station voters in December. Beachy said additional fund ing, however, might be ap proved once Phase I is com pleted. Once the city land is devel oped, residents in the area will be encouraged to donate land in the floodplain of Wolf Pen Creek, Beachy said. "It will be a partnership be tween the public and private," he said. Beachy is hoping that Phase I will be completed and ready for College Station's 1992 Jazz Festi val. Experts blame deserted wells for ruined crops SAN ANGELO (AP) — Oil wells that have been abandoned or neglected are to blame for poi-. soned water supplies and de stroyed crops in rural West Texas, say environmentalists who want the government to in tervene. Hundreds of old wells have oozed toxins and drilling wastes that destroyed more than 2,500 acres surrounding San Angelo, bubbled onto some downtown streets and polluted the Concho and Colorado rivers and water wells. "We don't know exactly what's going on beneath the sur face, but we know it's bad," said Ralph E. Hoelscher, a Miles wheat farmer who has led West Texas' fight against unplugged wells. Farmers say wide stretches of wheat, cotton and alfalfa fields are now a salty white wasteland because of the well leaks. Environmental experts said the region's problem with waste from hundreds of abandoned or urn luc that soon will touch almost every county in Texas. nplugged wells may be a pre- ide to an abandoned well crisis In Advance A&M Senior Weekend kicks off with Bash Texas A&M's Senior Weekend kicks off at 8 p.m. Thursday with the Senior Bash at Texas Hall of Fame.
