1. Watershed Management a Watershed Is an Area of Land That Water Flows Across, Through, Or Under on Its Way to a Common Point in a Stream, River, Lake, Or Ocean 1. Watershed Management A watershed is an area of land that water flows across, through, or under on its way to a common point in a stream, river, lake, or ocean. Watersheds not only include water bodies such as streams and lakes, but also all the surrounding lands that contribute water to the system as runoff during and after rainfall events. The relationship between the quality and quantity of water affects the function and health of a watershed. Thus, significant water removals (such as irrigation) or water additions (such as permitted discharges) are important. Watersheds can be extremely large, covering many thousands of acres, and often are subdivided into smaller subwatersheds for the purposes of study and management. WATERSHEDS AND WATER QUALITY To effectively address water issues, it is important to examine all natural processes and human activities occurring in a watershed that may affect water quality and quantity. Runoff that eventually makes it to a water body begins as surface or subsurface water flow from rainfall on agricultural, urban, residential, industrial, and undeveloped areas. This water can carry pollutants washed from the surrounding landscape. In addition, wastewater from various sources containing pollutants may be released directly into a water body. To better enable identification and management, potential contaminants are classified based on their origin as either point source or nonpoint source pollution. Point source pollution is discharged from a defined location, such as a pipe, ditch, or drain. It includes any pollution that may be traced back to a single point of origin. Point source pollution is typically discharged directly into a waterway and often contributes flow across all stream conditions, from low flow to high flow. In Texas, dischargers holding a permit through the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES – see Appendix A for a complete list of acronyms) are considered point sources, and effluent is permitted with specific pollutant limits to reduce the impact on the receiving waterbody. Nonpoint source pollution (NPS), on the other hand, comes from a source that does not have a single point of origin. The pollutants are generally carried off the land by runoff from storm water following rainfall events. As runoff moves over the land, it can pick up both natural and human-related pollutants, depositing them into water bodies such as creeks, rivers, and lakes. Ultimately, the types and amounts of pollutants entering a water body will determine the quality of water it contains and whether it is suitable for particular uses such as irrigation, fishing, swimming, or drinking. Page 1 Watershed Management BENEFITS OF A WATERSHED APPROACH State and federal water resource management and environmental protection agencies have embraced the watershed approach for managing water quality. The watershed approach involves assessing sources and causes of impairments at the watershed level and utilizing this information to develop and implement watershed management plans. Watersheds are determined by the landscape and not political borders, and thus often cross municipal, county, and state boundaries. By using a watershed perspective, all potential sources of pollution entering a waterway can be better identified and evaluated. Just as important, all stakeholders in the watershed can be involved in the process. A watershed stakeholder is anyone who lives, works, or engages in recreation in the watershed. They have a direct interest in the quality of the watershed and will be affected by planned efforts to address water quality issues. Individuals, groups, and organizations within a watershed can and should become involved as stakeholders. Stakeholder involvement is critical for selecting, designing, and implementing management measures to successfully improve water quality. WATERSHED PROTECTION PLANNING The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed a list of nine key elements (see Appendix B) which serve as guidance for development of successful watershed protection plans (WPP). Using that guidance, plans are developed by local stakeholders with the primary goal being to restore and/or protect the water quality and designated uses of a water body through voluntary, non-regulatory water resource management. Public participation is critical throughout plan development and implementation, as ultimate success of any WPP depends on stewardship of the land and water resources by landowners, businesses, elected officials, and residents of the watershed. The Lavon Lake WPP defines a strategy and identifies opportunities for stakeholders across the watershed to work together and as individuals to implement voluntary practices and programs that restore and protect water quality. Page 2 2. Overview of the Watershed GEOGRAPHY Lavon Lake is the uppermost reservoir on the East Fork of the Trinity River and provides drinking water to over 1.6 million residents in North Texas (Fig. 2.1). The 769-squre-mile watershed (492,095 acres) lies within the larger Trinity River Basin and includes parts of Collin, Fannin, Grayson, and Hunt Counties (Fig. 2.2). Elevations within the watershed range from 901 feet in the upper reaches of the East Fork of the Trinity River subwatershed in Grayson County to the conservation pool elevation of 492 feet in Lavon Lake. Incorporated areas within the watershed include twenty-seven towns and cities (Table 2.1). Notable tributaries to the lake include the East Fork of the Trinity River, Indian Creek, Pilot Grove Creek, Sister Grove Creek, and Wilson Creek, which are described in greater detail below. There are also a number of smaller, ephemeral streams which flow into Lavon Lake which include Elm Creek, Price Creek, Ticky Creek, and White Rock Creek. The East Fork of the Trinity River above Lavon Lake The headwaters of the East Fork of the Trinity River rise in Grayson County approximately 1.5 miles north-northwest of Dorchester, TX and flow south south-southeast for approximately 50 miles before draining into the western arm of Lavon Lake. Honey Creek is the primary tributary to the East Fork of the Trinity River above Lavon Lake. Honey Creek rises approximately 2.5 miles south-southeast of Gunter, TX and flows south-southeast for 21 miles before its confluence with the East Fork of the Trinity River approximately 0.6 miles southeast of the intersection of SH-75 and FM-543 near McKinney. Elevations in the East Fork of the Trinity River subwatershed range from 901 feet to the conservation pool of 492 feet in Lavon Lake. The East Fork of the Trinity River subwatershed drains approximately 136,958 acres (Table 2.2). Indian Creek Indian Creek rises in Trenton, TX in Fannin County and flows south for approximately 16 miles before its confluence with Arnold Creek, approximately 4.25 miles southeast of Blue Ridge, TX. Indian Creek then continues southwest for approximately 8 miles before draining into Pilot Grove Creek less than 2 miles upstream of its confluence with Lavon Lake. The headwaters of Arnold Creek rise approximately 3 miles south of Leonard and flow for 13 miles before joining Indian Creek. Another major tributary to Indian Creek is Bear Creek, which rises approximately 3 miles west of Leonard, TX and flows south for approximately 14 miles before joining Indian Creek 1 mile upstream of the confluence point of Indian and Arnold Creeks. Page 3 Overview of the Watershed Pilot Grove Creek The headwaters of Pilot Grove Creek rise approximately 2 miles east of Tom Bean, TX and flow south for 36 miles before draining into the eastern arm of Lavon Lake. The Pilot Grove Creek subwatershed is relatively long and narrow. Thus, save for the aforementioned Indian Creek subwatershed, there are no major tributaries to Pilot Grove Creek. Sister Grove Creek The west and east prongs of Sister Grove Creek rise 1 mile and 4 miles east of Howe, TX, respectively. These two prongs join approximately 3 miles east of Van Alstyne, TX to form the main stem of Sister Grove Creek. The creek then flows south for 29 miles before draining into the eastern arm of Lavon Lake. Wilson Creek The headwaters of Wilson Creek rise in Collin County approximately 2 miles east of Celina, TX and flow southeast for 29 miles until its confluence with the western arm of Lavon Lake. Wilson Creek flows through the heart of McKinney, TX and is by far the most urbanized of the Lavon Lake subwatersheds. Figure 2.1.

  • 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).

  • Lake Tawakoni Watershed
    Modeling Atrazine in Seven Texas Watersheds Lake Tawakoni Watershed Prepared in Cooperation with the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board October 24, 2006 USDA – Natural Resources Conservation Service Water Resources Assessment Team Blackland Research Center 808 East Blackland Road Temple, Texas 76502 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to simulate atrazine and sediment loadings in the Lake Tawakoni watershed using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrologic/water quality model. Three scenarios were modeled: (I.) baseline – pre-1999 condition; (II.) 319(h) best management practice (BMP) applications, and (III.) application of BMPs on all cropland. Part one of this report discusses model calibration and validation. Part two discusses the evaluation of the BMPs with the model. Since 1999, the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board has been working through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 319(h) grants program to reduce nonpoint source pollution from agricultural activities in this watershed. Technical and financial assistance was provided through the local Soil and Water Conservation Districts for development and implementation of water quality management plans. SWAT was calibrated/validated to measured stream flow at a USGS stream gage, and calibrated to measured sediment (TWDB hydrographic survey) in Lake Tawakoni. Adequate stream pesticide monitoring data was not available for the Tawakoni watershed. Model input parameters were based on a recent atrazine calibration developed for the Richland-Chambers watershed. Time series plots and statistical measures were used to verify model predictions. The validated model was applied to evaluate the effects of various best management practices on three levels: farm level; subbasin level; and watershed level.
