16 Minutes from home. A beautiful beginning and a tragic ending. Shuttle Columbia lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 10:39 a.m. on January 16, 2003. The shuttle was due home at 9:16 a.m. on February 1, 2003. At 9:00 a.m. Columbia began to break apart over Littlefield, Texas and fragmented into the skies over Texas. The debris struck with such force and heat that it burned and scorched the earth. Remnants are a mute testimony to the devastation.

Lubbock City Council gave final approval to Ordinance 2008-00095 on November 20, 2008, which requires a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to be submitted for City of Lubbock review in conjunction with requesting a building permit. While this ordinance is not new, enforcement has now been stepped up in order to prevent sediment and erosion from getting into Lubbock’s municipally separate storm sewer system (MS4).
