Trinity River Watershed One of 23 Major Texas Watersheds Extends from Oklahoma to Gulf of Mexico Approximately 6,050 sq. miles Above Dallas Drainage System Infrastructure •1,800 miles of storm sewers •30 miles of levee •13 pump stations at 8 locations •6 pressure sewers •8 street pump stations •~661 miles channel* •~39,000 acres floodplain * Includes both public and private channels Water Quality Program The City of Dallas is permitted for the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.​ ​The program includes several components including the maintenance of the Storm Sewer System and the Surface Runoff Water Quality Testing Programs. Water Quality Program The Surface Runoff Water Quality includes 120 sites across the City​ • 28 - Local Wet Weather Sites (includes TCEQ outfalls) ​ • 12 - Regional Wet Weather Sites; in collaboration with North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCCOG)​ • 72 - Bioassay Sites​ • 26 - Macroinvertebrate (Bug) Sites along with water quality samples ​ • 46 - Water Quality Sites ​ Water Quality Program (Dry Weather Inspections) • There are roughly 7,500 outfalls that are inspected during a 5-year permit term ​ • Flows are sampled and analyzed to determine source such as ground water, sprinkler discharge or an illicit discharge ​ • Illicit discharges are tracked to the source and the responsible party is notified to remedy the discharge ​ • OEQS is notified if illicit discharge is found to be from a construction/industrial site Water Quality Program (Stormwater Service Requests) Top three emergency response calls across this City:​ • Water Pollution ​ • Fish Kills ​ • Internal Sampling ​ The public is advised to call 3-1-1 to report any water quality concerns. Water Quality Program (Special Projects) • Water samples of tributaries are conducted monthly or quarterly: • Quarterly - Trinity River Authority (Clean Rivers Program) • Monthly – Pavaho, Bachman Lake and Kidd Springs Pond • Litter Booms – inspected monthly (Bachman Lake, White Rock Lake and Lake Cliff). Floatation booms which collects floatable trash and prevents items from entering a connecting waterbody. Reports are sent to appropriate personnel within Parks & Recreation detailing trash accumulation and maintenance if needed. Water Quality Program (Special Projects cont'd) • TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) - new program implemented to help reduce bacteria levels in creeks throughout City of Dallas watersheds. Samples are collected intermittently (during dry periods & post rain events) to trace and identify point source pollutant infiltration. Water Quality Sampling Locations (Bachman Lake) • Three sampling sites: (BACL1, BACL2 & BACL3) • The upstream location (1) was on the downstream side of the Lemmon Ave. bridge, the midstream location (2) was at the middle point of the lake and the downstream location (3) was located just upstream of the Denton Dr. bridge. Bachman Lake Sampling Project The water quality samples were collected according to the sampling plan designed to obtain the water quality information for Bachman Lake located at 3500 W Northwest Hwy., Dallas, TX. Standard EPA methods and procedures were employed to collect data to determine the water quality of the lake while comparing the water quality of the upstream and downstream locations. Acronyms Bachman Lake Sampling List of Parameters The Sampling Plan includes the following parameters to be analyzed: DO, pH, Conductivity, Ammonia, Nitrates-Nitrites, Total Phosphorus, Hardness, Chlorine, Metals (Cu, Fe), TSS, Turbidity and E. coli. No samples for TPH/BTEX and PAH were collected as no hydrocarbon sheen was observed on the water surface. Monthly Samples Site Geomeans Site ID GeoMean BACL-1 70 BACL-2 36 BACL-3 84 Monthly Ammonia Results Monthly Nitrogen Results Monthly Phosphorus Results Statistical Analysis: Bachman Lake Water Sampling • The statistical analyses of the data determined the water quality of Bachman Lake was compliant with the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards set by the TCEQ.

  • 5 | Infrastructure
    5 | INFRASTRUCTURE Infrastructure Policies POLICY 1: Invest first in infrastructure that supports the preferred scenario POLICY 2: Consider long-term operational costs when setting priorities among new capital projects POLICY 3: Seek funding from other entities whenever possible POLICY 4: Work with Lancaster ISD, Cedar Valley College, and other educational institutions to ensure that the “learning infrastructure” is in place Introduction Utilities and infrastructure are a critical piece of the foun- dation and operations of a city and can include water and wastewater systems, storm drainage systems, solid waste disposal, electric service, gas service, cable, fiber optics, and telephone service. The location, condition, and accessibility of these features can greatly affect daily operations, con- struction timelines, and funding capabilities. Understanding the system’s existing conditions is essential to planning for future development. Utilities and infrastructure can act as an indicator of a city’s ‘growing pains’ - meaning the per- formance of a system under pressure can show where the infrastructure needs to adapt, expand, or be replaced to accommodate growth. Figure 5.01 - Elevated Storage Tanks The City of Lancaster Public Works Department maintains a Street Division and Water Utilities Division. The Street Divi- sion services and repairs the existing streets and sidewalks, and are responsible for traffic signals, street sweeping, crack sealing, and storm water drainage. The Water Utilities Division is responsible for pumping and maintaining quality water, the distribution of water, and repairs and improvements to both the water and sewer system. 48 October 2016 Infrastructure | 5 Water System The City of Lancaster purchases water from Dallas Water Utilities (DWU).
