SUMMARY: Mayor Ron Nirenberg and local leaders met with Northwest Bear County neighbors to discuss a crucial legal proceeding regarding a wastewater permit for a proposed 3,000-home development at Guajolote Ranch, near Hotus Creek. Residents are concerned that the development, which includes a wastewater plant, would release 1 million gallons of treated sewage daily into the creek. This poses a risk to the Trinity Glen Rose and Edwards aquifers, which provide drinking water to millions. With the issue impacting local water supply, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will review the case by late May, with potential appeals afterward.

SUMMARY: Investigators at Moren Airport are probing the cause of a deadly crash involving a Cessna 172 and a Lancair 360 MK2 that occurred shortly after 8:30 AM. Pilot Robert Trailer, unaware the airport was closed, had intended to fly for breakfast. The Cessna, a training aircraft, collided with the much faster Lancair during its landing, causing the latter to burst into flames. While two people were on both planes, two from the Cessna escaped unharmed. The airport is classified as uncontrolled, relying on pilots to communicate positions without a control tower. Full investigation results may take up to 18 months.
