Bill Bunch, the executive director for the Save Our Springs Alliance, emphasized the irreplaceability of the Barton Creek Habitat Preserve, stating, "From protecting water quality to preserving habitat for endangered species, the Barton Creek Habitat Preserve is essential for maintaining the ecological balance and natural beauty of Austin. Losing any part of it would be a devastating blow to our environment and the city."
The lawsuit filed by the Save Our Springs Alliance claims that the West Travis County Public Utility Agency's utility board hearing violated Chapter 26 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, stating that the defendants provided inadequate notice and failed to explore feasible alternatives.
The Barton Creek Habitat Preserve spans over 4,000 acres and serves as an important natural area near Downtown Austin, providing critical habitat for endangered wildlife species such as the black-capped vireo and the golden-cheeked warbler.
