TABLE of CONTENTS by Rev meditation in the garden april 2015 Issue • First Presbyterian Church of san antonio, texas Do You Believe in Miracles?! TABLE OF CONTENTS By Rev.

  • Agua Jim Bower Citizens United for Lake Placid John M
    Aggregated Statements of Interest Proposed Edwards Aquifer Recovery Implementation Program (RIP) July 10, 2007 1 AGUA AGUA is a San Antonio organization that works to protect the quality of water in the Edwards Aquifer. Low levels of pesticides and other man made contaminants are being detected in both Comal and San Marcos springs. As a member of the RIP, AGUA will work to ensure that the quality of springflow required by aquatic species, as well as the quantity of springflow, is maintained. JIM BOWER After listening to RIP members in the SAWS meeting room (and corridor), reading SB 3 and reading various newspaper accounts of SB 3, one can arrive at only one conclusion: we need facts. We must get away from emotion and self interest. Obviously we have to determine the minimum spring flow for the endangered species. But that is far from enough. We need information such as Edwards recharge data, the adds and subtractions downstream, and how all of this interacts from the Edwards to the estuaries. You cannot successfully manage the water looking at only one aspect. And, yes, I think it possible that all parties can be satisfied if we all work toward that end. CITIZENS UNITED FOR LAKE PLACID Citizens United for Lake Placid (CULP) is organized to unite all members so that they may cooperate with each other in all activities necessary, useful, or expedient to the management and enhancement of the natural beauty of Lake Placid and to promote the prevention or elimination of threats to the enjoyment and safety of said lake and that of the members, by their union, will have greater strength in compelling the attention and assistance of others to this end.
