CONCHO RIVER & UPPER COLORADO RIVER BASINS Brush Control Feasibility Study Prepared By The: UPPER COLORADO RIVER AUTHORITY In Cooperation with TEXAS STATE SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION BOARD and TEXAS A & M UNIVERSITY December 2000 Cover Photograph: Rocky Creek located in Irion County, Texas following restoration though a comprehensive brush control program. Photo courtesy of United States Natural Resources Conservation Services. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The preparation of this report is the result of action by many state, federal and local entities and of many individuals dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of water resources within the State of Texas. This report is one of several funded by the Legislature of Texas to be implemented by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board during FYE2000. We commend the Texas Legislature for its’ extraordinary insight and boldness in moving ahead with planning that will be critical to water supply provision in future decades. In particular, the efforts of State Representative Robert Junell are especially recognized for his vision in coordinating the initial feasibility study conducted on the North Concho River and his support for studies of additional watershed basins in Texas. The following individuals are recognized as having made substantial contributions to this study and preparation of this report: Arlan Youngblood Ben Wilde Bill Tullos Billy Williams Bob Buckley Bob Jennings Bob Northcutt Brent Murphy C. Wade Clifton C.J. Robinson Carl Schlinke David Wilson Don Davis Eddy Spurgin Edwin Garner Gary Askins Tommy Morrison Woody Anderson Gary Grogan Howard Morrison J.P.

Chapter 307: Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (4/9/2008)
Revisions to §307 - Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (updated November 12, 2009) EPA has not approved the revised definition of “surface water in the state” in the TX WQS, which includes an area out 10.36 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. Under the CWA, Texas does not have jurisdiction to regulate water standards more than three miles from the coast. Therefore, EPA’s approval of the items in the enclosure recognizes the state’s authority under the CWA out to three miles in the Gulf of Mexico, but does not extend past that point. Beyond three miles, EPA retains authority for CWA purposes EPA’s approval also does not include the application the TX WQS for the portions of the Red River and Lake Texoma that are located within the state of Oklahoma. Finally, EPA is not approving the TX WQS for those waters or portions of waters located in Indian Country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. The following sections have been approved by EPA and are therefore effective for CWA purposes: • §307.1. General Policy Statement • §307.2. Description of Standards • §307.3. Definitions and Abbreviations (see item under “no action” section below) • §307.4. General Criteria • §307.5. Antidegradation • §307.6. Toxic Materials. (see item under “no action” section below) • §307.7. Site-specific Uses and Criteria (see item under “no action” section below) • §307.8. Application of Standards • §307.9. Determination of Standards Attainment • Appendix C - Segment Descriptions • Appendix D - Site-specific Receiving Water Assessments The following sections have been partially approved by EPA: • Appendix A.

Stormwater Management Program 2013-2018 Appendix A
Appendix A 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) As required under Sections 303(d) and 304(a) of the federal Clean Water Act, this list identifies the water bodies in or bordering Texas for which effluent limitations are not stringent enough to implement water quality standards, and for which the associated pollutants are suitable for measurement by maximum daily load. In addition, the TCEQ also develops a schedule identifying Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that will be initiated in the next two years for priority impaired waters. Issuance of permits to discharge into 303(d)-listed water bodies is described in the TCEQ regulatory guidance document Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (January 2003, RG-194). Impairments are limited to the geographic area described by the Assessment Unit and identified with a six or seven-digit AU_ID. A TMDL for each impaired parameter will be developed to allocate pollutant loads from contributing sources that affect the parameter of concern in each Assessment Unit. The TMDL will be identified and counted using a six or seven-digit AU_ID. Water Quality permits that are issued before a TMDL is approved will not increase pollutant loading that would contribute to the impairment identified for the Assessment Unit. Explanation of Column Headings SegID and Name: The unique identifier (SegID), segment name, and location of the water body. The SegID may be one of two types of numbers. The first type is a classified segment number (4 digits, e.g., 0218), as defined in Appendix A of the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (TSWQS).

Listing of Texas Ports
TRANSPORTATION Policy Research CENTER Overview: Texas Ports and Navigation Districts The first Navigation District was established in 1909, and there are now 24 Navigation Districts statewide.1 Navigation districts generally provide for the construction and improvement of waterways in Texas for the purpose of navigation. The creation of navigation districts is authorized in two different articles of the Texas Constitution to serve different purposes. Section 52, Article III, authorizes counties, cities, and other political corporations or subdivisions to issue bonds and levy taxes for the purposes of improving rivers, bays, creeks, streams, and canals to prevent overflow, to provide irrigation, and to permit navigation. Section 59, Article XVI, authorizes the creation of conservation and reclamation districts for the purpose of conserving and developing natural resources, including the improvement, preservation, and conservation of inland and coastal water for navigation and controlling storm water and floodwater of rivers and streams in aid of navigation. This section authorizes conservation and reclamation districts to issue bonds and levy taxes for those purposes. Generally, however, navigation districts are structured, governed, and financed in the same manner. Chapters 60 through 63, Texas Water Code, set forth provisions relating to navigation districts. The purposes and functions of navigation districts are very similar, regardless of the Chapter of the Water Code under which they were created. More than one chapter of the Water Code may be applicable to the manner in which a given navigation district conducts its business. Chapter 61 (Article III, Section 52, Navigation Districts) authorizes the creation of districts to operate under Section 52, Article III, Texas Constitution.
