Chiltipin Creek

On June 14th we shot along Chiltipin Creek and the Aransas River where they form a lovely estuary in Capano Bay. Jim is recently involved in negotiations with Steel Dynamics who has a manufacturing site near Sinton, Texas and Chilitipin Creek. Proposed wastewater discharge from the site would have allowed  significant quantities of heavy metals and other pollutants to be dumped into Chiltipin Creek.

Their talks have resulted in Steel Dynamics agreeing to build a wastewater holding pond, full of wetland plants, that will hold the metals for later removal.
