Resident raises nitrate concerns, recounts meetings with DNR and watershed leaders
Summary
A resident updated the council on recent nitrate monitoring and outreach with Dallas County DNR and watershed committee members and highlighted mitigation proposals and county discussion of a $500,000 DNR plan that was tabled.
Robert Greenway spoke during the citizens forum to update the council on recent information about nitrate levels in local watersheds and his conversations with watershed chairs and DNR staff at the Dallas County Fair.
Greenway said he encountered graphs and discussions indicating longer‑term nitrate removal efforts and that several towns had long nitrate‑removal histories. He reported conversations with county officials and watershed chairs, noted a DNR plan that carried a roughly $500,000 cost and said the county supervisors tabled that particular plan while continuing to listen and engage with DNR staff. Greenway thanked staff (including Tom) and said he had learned from conversations at the fair and with county officials.
The council thanked Greenway for the update; no action was taken.
