Martindale National Guard Air Base Jim Cannizzo Administrative and Civil Law Advisor US Army Joint Base San Antonio: The Premier Joint Base in the Department of Defense! Martindale Army Airfield One Team, One Mission: Your Success! Background: Martindale is a 207 acre TX Army National Guard facility on the SE side of San Antonio vic IH-10 and IH-410 that has operated since the 1950s; currently has 12 UH-60s. Conducts flight training in a box pattern (red) around the Rosillo Creek tract, immediately east of the airfield. Low flying, hovering, night flying, pattern, high noise Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! Martindale Army Airfield One Team, One Mission: Your Success! • A land speculator purchased 600+ acres immediately east of Martindale in 2003; he now proposes to rezone two tracts (112 acres and 70 acres) from light industrial (L) and some residential RM-4 to residential R-4; and developers have the land under contract contingent on rezoning -- Heartwood Homes for the closer tract and Lennar Homes for the eastern block • CoSA Development Services didn’t notify TXANG until late in process due to confusion over ownership; rezoning has passed Planning and Zoning Commissions already (March), but Development Services will now recommend against rezoning, and a MOU on future notification for Martindale is being created Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! Martindale Army Airfield One Team, One Mission: Your Success! Army Public Health Center (Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD) Army Noise Team conducted a noise study, site visit 3 April, final study 24 April 2018 • Study found a 65 decibel day night average (DNL) noise exposure around hover areas • Hovering can last up to two hours within the SE corner of Martindale and is at very low elevation • Bambi bucket training area picks up water from pond in SE corner, increased noise during these operations • The box flight pattern and approach did not generate a DNL because not enough operations (although box can be flown up to 12 repetitive patterns per hour) Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! Martindale Army Airfield One Team, One Mission: Your Success! • The heliport typically operates every Tuesday through Friday (10:00 am to midnight) and one weekend per month. Activity includes approximately 1,000 annual arrivals and departures, hovering exercises, and traffic pattern training. Traffic pattern training averages 32 flights per week, with an additional 72 flights on a drill weekend. • Study “strongly recommends” against noise sensitive uses within 1,000 feet (red crosshatched area) of the east side of Martindale • Study notes sleep interference, speech interference, and annoyance Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! Martindale Army Airfield One Team, One Mission: Your Success! • Study found a 70 decibel noise exposure ¼ mile on each side of pattern and approach; cautions introducing noise sensitive uses in pink area other than a 200 acre trapezoid parcel in the middle of the tract (which about ½ is undevelopable because of Rosillo Creek and floodplains) • Study recommends that if housing is unavoidable, it should incorporate sound attenuation and notice to buyers • Study notes high annoyance of rotary aviation: “Rattle From Flights. Picture or window rattling from the helicopter flights would occur frequently. As a helicopter flies by they create that characteristic "whop-whop-whop- whop" sound”… Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! Martindale Army Airfield One Team, One Mission: Your Success! Safety zones are just within Martindale’s boundaries; Clear zone 400 long X 300 ft wide; APZ I 800 ft long X 300 ft wide; rectangle below 1,200 ft long X 300 ft Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! Martindale Army Airfield One Team, One Mission: Your Success! . TXANG considering CUB/REPI, as was done for Camp Swift 2 years ago ($3.1M) or state funding . Would likely take 2 - 3 years to obtain the funding Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! Martindale Army Airfield One Team, One Mission: Your Success! Impact on San Antonio: • Multiple Active and Reserve units in the SA area rely on these UH-60s for training. Flight medicine doctors from RAFB, LAFB, and FSH use Martindale’s UH-60s for medivac training, so do combat medics at Camp Bullis and some ARSOUTH and other area active military personnel; losing a local source of UH-60s could cause significant training issues, necessitate TDY to Camp Mabry/Camp Swift/Fort Hood • Assist the State with civil support of local agencies during domestic emergencies to include wildfire suppression, flood rescue operations, humanitarian aid, and disaster relief Possible 21 June City Council vote; delayed twice from 16 April and 17 May Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! One Team, One Mission: Your Success! Trinity Aquifer Jim Cannizzo Administrative and Civil Law Advisor US Army Joint Base San Antonio: The Premier Joint Base in the Department of Defense! New Middle Trinity Aquifer Pumping One Team, One Mission: Your Success! New water supply corps (Texas Water Supply Co) obtained $50M in funding from a NY hedge fund • In October 2017, military encroachment POCs first learned of this issue. On October 11, 2017, TWSC announced in a SA Biz-journal article that it will eventually pump 32,000 acre feet (a/f) (10 BILLION gallons) per year to San Antonio Water System (SAWS) and willing buyers in the hill country; 37 wells in vicinity of SE and NE Camp Bullis (prior WECo wells which had pumped far less, only 2,000 a/f for the field near Bullis) • Are grandfathered from Groundwater Conservation District (GCD) limits and under Texas right of capture there is apparently no state law remedy to prohibit this Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! New Middle Trinity Aquifer Pumping One Team, One Mission: Your Success! ISSUE: will this new pumping affect wells on Camp Bullis and Camp Stanley? • Middle Trinity Aquifer is a separate aquifer just north of the Edwards Aquifer; is MUCH less prolific than the Edwards Aquifer • The total Modeled Available Groundwater (MAG) for the Bexar County portion (Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District, TGRGCD) of the Middle Trinity Aquifer is 25,000 acre feet (a/f, one a/f is 326,000 gallons), and the new pumper proposes to pump 32,000 additional a/f, and already has about ½ of that capacity on-line with a well field just south of Camp Bullis Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region! New Middle Trinity Aquifer Pumping One Team, One Mission: Your Success! TWSC has two wells fields, 20 wells in the west field and 17 wells in the east field (the east well field is NOT currently pumping, projected connections projected to be finished early 2019) • West wells range from 872 – 1,163 ft deep; one is 16- inch, many are 14-inch and some 10-inch wells, some with purported rates as high as 1,000 gallons per minute (gpm); Camp Bullis and Stanley wells are about 400+ ft deep and only 10-inch in diameter Alamo Area Council Of Governments Celebrating 50 Years of Uniting the Region!

    Tricentennial Chronology And The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County by Robert Garcia Jr. Hector J. Cardenas and Dr. Amy Jo Baker San Antonio, Texas March 2018 i i Tricentennial Chronology And The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County By Robert Garcia Jr. Hector J. Cardenas and Dr. Amy Jo Baker Published by Paso de la Conquista San Antonio, Texas Mar. 2018 i Library of Congress Control Number: 2018934169 Published: Feb, 2018 San Antonio, Texas Copyright Pending. Outside Cover of Mission San José: public domain ii Introduction In 2015, San Antonio’s Tricentennial Commission created the opportunity for the citizens of San Antonio to rediscover their shared cultural heritage, history and to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of our beloved City in 1718. Collaboratives were formed with public institutions to further develop presentations commemorating our City’s history. Many months were spent on these projects and in the year 2018, they will be presented to the public in open venues. An out-come of this year’s celebration is this publication, “Tricentennial Chronology and The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County”. The last published chronology of San Antonio was in 1950 by Edward Hunsinger. For this new study, approximately 1½ years was spent developing additional details and entries of events in San Antonio’s 300-year history. Other chronologies were studied, books were referenced and honored historians were consulted. Every attempt was made to edit and re-edit the many editions of the chronology until this latest edition is being published.
