Friends of Canyon Lake

The Major Issues

  • Recreational use of lake and adverse impact on a recreation-based economy
  • Water quality issues with increased sewage discharge in a threatened river and a drastically lowered lake
  • Boat Ramps
  • "Dry Docking" of Boats and Slips in Marinas
  • Economic hardship on area businesses
  • Decline in property values
  • Impact on county revenues and tax base for school district
  • Fish and Wildlife concerns
  • Public Safety
  • Quality of Life Issues
  • Structural Integrity of the Dam
  • Canyon Lake will become like Medina Lake
  • AND, the GBRA water from Canyon Lake, when available, may be about the most costly of any water in Texas, and maybe even the entire U.S.!   Cheaper water may be available soon from Kinney County and the region west of San Antonio!

There are serious issues that are not being addressed. We want the GBRA and TCEQ to properly address these issues and delay all action until these issues are adequately  researched, reported to the affected parties, and public notice of the impact is made and a hearing is allowed.

Isn't that a fair request?
