  • SPECIAL PROJECTS the Brazos River
    SPECIAL PROJECTS The Brazos River Authority’s (BRA) public outreach activites include involving our stakeholders in planning water quality and watershed protection activities in the Brazos Basin as well as education and outreach programs. Brazos River Basin Clean Rivers Program Steering Committee The size and diversity of issues across the Brazos River Watershed presents a challenge for the large group of stakeholders in our basin. The Brazos River Clean Rivers Program (CRP) Steering Committee participants represent diverse interests that are represented by government agencies, municipalities, industry, agriculture, organized local stakeholder groups, individuals, and environmental groups. The BRA holds an annual meeting that provides the Steering Committee with an opportunity to hear results of water quality monitoring and CRP special studies and gives them a forum where they may voice opinions, make recommendations and interact with other stakeholder participants and BRA staff. Steering Committee members also participate by providing input into planning water quality monitoring activities, prioritizing problems within the basin for prospective CRP special studies, identifying problem areas and developing actions to address potential problem areas in the basin. How to get involved with the Brazos Basin CRP? BRA promotes communication and participation from the general public. If you are interested in serving on the Brazos River Basin CRP Steering Committee, send an email addressed to [email protected]. Please indicate what topics you are interested in and provide an email address so that you can receive electronic notices of meetings and reports. In addition, the information you provide will help us to develop more effective meetings and provide direction to the program.

  • Texas River Authorities
    The Senate Committee on Natural Resources Interim Report to the 81st Legislature Texas River Authorities March 2009 INTERIM CHARGE Review all state-created river authorities, including the powers exercised by each authority and the advisability of subjecting these authorities to legislative review. Consider options for ensuring adequate protection of public assets, improving transparency of operations, enhancing appropriate access to financial and management records, and authorizing audits by the State Auditor's Office. BACKGROUND The following background on past attempts to subject river authorities to legislative review was provided during testimony at the April 8, 2008, hearing of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources (Committee) by Dean Robbins of the Texas Water Conservation Association: In 1985, the Legislature added 19 of the State's river authorities to the list of agencies subject to review under the Sunset Act. Those entities were scheduled for review in 1991. That law provided that unless the board of directors of the river authorities were continued in office, their membership would expire and the Governor would appoint a new board. Another bill was passed in 1985 requiring the State Auditor to conduct an annual audit of 23 specifically named districts and authorities. That bill also created a Water Districts and River Authority Study Committee to consider the appropriate role and level of accountability of these entities. In December 1986, the Water Districts and River Authority Study Committee issued its report. That report recommended that the state audit and sunset requirements passed in 1985 be repealed. That report also addressed many other issues still being debated today such as water conservation, water planning, and groundwater management.

  • Brazos River Authority Customer Water Use And
    BRAZOS RIVER AUTHORITY CUSTOMER WATER USE AND RESERVOIR ACCOUNTING SUMMARY What is an acre-foot? An acre-foot is the volume of water required to cover one acre of land one foot deep with water. One acre-foot = 325,851 gallons. What is the difference between firm, interruptible, lakeside local and Colorado basin water customers? Firm water customers have contracts that are issued for terms longer than five years. These contracts supply municipalities, water supply districts, industries, agricultural producers and mining operations with a reliable long-term water source. All contracts contain a maximum annual use limit. Interruptible water customers have contracts that are issued for a term of one year. These contracts primarily provide water for non-municipal purposes and are subject to being cutoff during droughts. The amount of interruptible water that is made available for sale is determined annually by the BRA Board of Directors. Lakeside local customers are BRA customers with property adjacent to a reservoir. These customers have a permit with the BRA to use water from the reservoir for lawn watering and domestic uses. Colorado basin customers are BRA firm water customers in Williamson County that receive some of their water supply from the Colorado basin. The BRA contracts with the Lower Colorado River Authority for up to 25,000 acre-feet of water annually. This water is transferred from the Colorado River basin into the Brazos River basin for use in Williamson County. What is System Operation Permit water use? This is water used under permit 5851 (System Operation Permit) by BRA firm or interruptible customers.

    Rick’s Revolvers: The Governor’s Office Runs a Farm Team for Lobbyists State Library & Archives Commission Then-Rep. Rick Perry huddles in the House with future lobbyists Cliff Johnson & Gib Lewis. Contents Perry’s Revolver Lobbyists 2 Perry-Revolver Clients 6 Notes 11 Texans for Public Justice—January 2012—www.tpj.org Rick’s Revolvers: The Governor’s Office Runs a Farm Team for Lobbyists Rick Perry’s gubernatorial office hired or retained 850 people from December 2000 through August 2011.1 Excluding employees who worked brief stints during the Bush-Perry transition, 43 Perry employees (5 percent) also registered to lobby in Austin during Perry’s gubernatorial reign (another one lobbied without registering). Perry’s 43 gubernatorial revolvers reported 1,605 annual lobby contracts with 552 different clients. These clients paid Perry’s revolvers between $53 million and $100 million since 2001 (Texas lobbyists report their incomes in ranges). The average Perry revolver reported a lobby income ranging from $1.2 million to $2.3 million. Perry’s former roommate and ex-chief of staff Mike Toomey led the pack. He reported 280 annual contracts worth from $9 million to $17 million (Toomey is the subject of a separate TPJ report: “Perry’s Roomie Mike Toomey Mobilizes the Corporate Lobby to ‘Make Us Great Again’”). At the other end of the spectrum, ex-gubernatorial aide Marcy Foster reported that she received no income lobbying for Cantey Hanger and Newby Davis (firms affiliated with former Perry General Counsel Brian Newby). Most Perry revolvers worked in the Governor’s Office before hitting the lobby.
