The Central Texas Groundwater Conservation District designated the groundwater permit for a proposed 715-acre rock quarry in Burnet County as a "contested matter" on October 21, 2026. This designation allows the CTGCD to refer the proceedings to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) for further review. The permit is one of the final steps required for the aggregate mining project to begin construction.
