  • 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.

  • Table Rock Lake 2014 Annual Lake Report
    TABLE ROCK LAKE 2014 ANNUAL LAKE REPORT Shane Bush Fisheries Management Biologist Missouri Department of Conservation Southwest Region March 1, 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Table Rock Lake is a 43,100 acre reservoir owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The reservoir is operated for flood control and hydroelectric production as its primary purposes under the current congressional project authorization. Recreation was also added as a project purpose in 1996. Table Rock Lake is located in the Missouri counties of Barry, Stone, and Taney and the Arkansas counties of Boone and Carroll. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) coordinates fisheries management activities following the December 2003 Lake Management Plan. In 2014, Southwest Fisheries staff assisted Blind Pony hatchery staff with paddlefish broodstock collections in March. Staff also conducted electrofishing sampling for Walleye in the James River in March and electrofished for black bass and crappie on nine separate nights from April 21 through May 7 in the Kings, James, Upper White, Mid-White, and Long Creek arms. Southwest Fisheries staff also assisted MDC’s Resource Science Division (RSD) with trawling efforts in the upper portions of the James River Arm in June. Black Bass Largemouth Bass comprised the majority of the black bass sampled in 2014 with a dominant year class of Largemouth Bass from 2011 making up the majority of the fish sampled (Figure 1). The highest catch rates of Largemouth Bass in the spring 2014 electrofishing samples occurred in the James and Kings River arms with over 300 Largemouth Bass sampled per hour. The 2011 year class of Largemouth Bass ranged from 13 – 14.5 inches in the spring of 2014 and these fish should exceed 15 inches by the spring of 2015.
