State & Loca I
The Battalion
3
Wolf Pen project may start in fall
First phase
will include
amphitheater
By Morgan Juday
Special to The Battalion
Construction of the first phase
of the Wolf Pen Creek devel
opment project could begin as
early as next September, said
College Station's director of
Parks and Recreation.
"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
