Save the Lampasas River, Inc. was formed in June 2009 to oppose the building of the 345 kV transmission lines on both sides of the Lampasas River Valley from Kempner to Killeen. These power lines will lead to:
Bald Eagles
Golden Cheeked Warblers
Black-Capped Vireos
Guadalupe Bass
STLR’s objectives are to protect the River Valley from these detrimental impacts. We need your help and support to carry our message to the companies involved, the State of Texas and the federal government. STLR appreciates the support of Maxdale DingDong Association, an organization with the common cause of defending the Lampasas River (www.maxdaledingdong.com). We appreciate the efforts of all of our supporters and the many people involved on our committees.
STLR has retained legal counsel and is committed to working to achieve STLR’s objectives. We need your financial support to assist in this effort. Information on making donations can be found on the right side of any page of the STLR website. Please contact us with any questions at savethelampasas@yahoo.com .
We have finished Phase I of our defense of the valley. Phase II started on October 7th when Oncor filed its route map with the Public Utility Commission. Unfortunately, Oncor’s preferred route is located right in the middle of the Lampasas River Valley so we have our work cut out for us. Though you may not have received Oncor’s notice by mail, the lines may still be close to you. The routes on the Oncor map include changes from the preliminary Oncor map provided in June.

What does this all mean? The battle has begun! This beautiful River Valley deserves our care and devotion to save her from the ravages of the transmission lines, not just for us but for future generations of Texans.
