Consumer Plannlng Section Comprehensive Plannlng Branch Consumer Plannlng Section Comprehensive Plannlng Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas Texans Outdoors: An Analysis of 1985 Participation in Outdoor Recreation Activities By Kathryn N. Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ............................................................................................................

Griffith AUGUST 2014 CULTURAL RESOURCES REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED RED GATE POWER PLANTAND LATERAL PROJECT HIDALGO AND STARR COUNTIES, TEXAS INTENSIVE ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY By Debra L. Beene, Joseph M. Sanchez, and Timothy B. Griffith Prepared for South Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc. Principal Investigators: Brandon S. Young and Timothy B. Griffith August 2014 ABSTRACT Between 2012 and 2014, archeologists from Blanton & Associates, Inc., at the request of the South Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc., conducted an intensive, non-collection, archeological survey of the proposed Red Gate Power Plant project in Hidalgo and Starr Counties, Texas. The area of potential effect (APE) comprised the 336-acre power plant site property in Hidalgo County, and an 891-acre, 24.5-mile proposed natural gas pipeline right-of-way in Hidalgo and Starr Counties. Investigation of the power plant APE discovered one mid to late twentieth century historic residential complex (41HG238), with an associated corral and minor structures. Based on the recent date of construction, lack of integrity, and paucity of buried material, site 41HG238 is recommended as ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NHRP). Investigation of the pipeline APE did not discover any additional archeological resources. In summary, no NHRP-eligible sites were discovered, no artifacts were collected, and curation was unnecessary.

  • 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).

  • William Chapman 1642
    Descendants of William Chapman Generation 1 1. WILLIAM1 CHAPMAN was born in 1652 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massschuetts. He died in 1732 in Amesbury, Windham County, Connecticut. He married ELISABETH SMITH. She was born in 1657 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachuetts. She died in 1732 in Windham, Connecticut. Notes for William Chapman: This William, born in 1642 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massschuettes, is the earliest Chapman about which my data gathering has been able to include. He was born the year Maryland was founded by English colonists sent by the second Lord Baltimore. Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland "Chapman is English: occupational name for a merchant or trader, Middle English 'chapman,' Old English, 'ceapmann,' a compound of 'ceap' or 'barter,' or 'bargain,' 'price,' 'property The name was brought independently to North America from England by numerous different bearers from the 17th Century onward. John Chapman (sic)was one of the free planters who assented to the 'FundamentalAgreement' of the New Haven Colony on June 4, 169." Source: Patrick Hanks, Editor, Dictionary of American Family Names,Oxford University Press, New York, New York, 2003, Card #929.40973D554 2003 V.1, Dallas Public Library, Genealogical Section, page 318. William was born the year the first Oberammergau Passion Play was done, 1642. He lived until 1732, when he died and is presumed interred at Amesbury, Windham County, Connecticut. Source:http://www.oberammergau.de/ot_e/passionplay/ There is one character of fame in the Chapman line to whom it would be desirable to document relationship. However, tracking down the actual connection has eluded me.
