This scenic Hill Country retreat is under an hour’s drive of Austin and just minutes from the amenities of Lago Vista. Acreage 40 Acres Description Cow Creek Bluffs is part of the Edwards Plateau of Texas commonly referred to as the “Hill Country”, one of the most biologically diverse regions in the nation with a rich assemblage of wild flowers, grasses, shrubs, trees and native wildlife. Bedded limestone of the Hill Country creates a matrix of amazing bluffs, creek bottoms and hills that are found on the property. Crystal clear waters of spring-fed Cow Creek run yearlong through the property as it empties into the upper part of Lake Travis. The 23,000-acre Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge is short walk across the road with a lifetime of outdoor adventure, hiking, and bird watching with a landscape of protected views for Cow Creek Bluffs. This property is home to white-tailed deer and large flocks of Rio Grande Turkey for the hunting sportsman, or neo-tropical songbirds and raptors for the non-game wildlife enthusiast. Improvements There is a 2-bedroom/2-bath cabin situated near the creek under a beautiful stand of Live-Oak trees.

  • 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).

  • Trophic Classification of Texas Reservoirs 2010 Texas Water
    Trophic Classification of Texas Reservoirs 2010 Texas Water Quality Inventory and 303(d) List (November 18, 2011) Algae in rivers and lakes can have a profound influence on water quality and ultimately the ability of a water body to support healthy aquatic communities. Assessing water body condition based on algae is done by evaluating indicators that reflect nutrient dynamics that drive primary production and influence levels of dissolved oxygen. Eutrophication refers to overall a condition characterized by an abundant accumulation of nutrients that support a dense growth of algae and other organisms, the decay of which depletes the shallow waters of oxygen in summer. Eutrophication is primarily influenced by the physical setting of the water body and can be affected by natural and anthropogenic processes in the surrounding watershed. In the southern United States this process is enhanced due to warm, fertile climates and the rate increases with the age of the water body. Human activities can accelerate the process by increasing the rate at which nutrients and organic substances enter the impoundments and their surrounding watersheds. Sewage discharges, agricultural and urban runoff, leaking septic tanks, and erosion of stream banks can increase the flow of nutrients and organic substances into reservoirs and lakes. These pollutants can over-stimulate the growth of algae and aquatic plants, creating conditions that interfere with contact recreation (swimming), boating (noncontact recreation), and the health and diversity of native fish, plant, and animal populations. Over-production of bacteria, fungi, and algae may also impart foul odors and tastes to the water. Section 314 of the CWA of 1987 requires all states to classify lakes and reservoirs according to trophic state.
