    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).

  • Progress Report Summary
    2011 PROGRESS REPORT SUMMARY TEXAS AGRILIFE EXTENSION SALTCEDAR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM Allen Knutson and Mark Muegge Texas Agrilife Extension Service, Texas A&M University System Saltcedar Trees defoliated by Tunisian Leaf Beetles at Leon Lake, near Fort Stockton, TX. September 2011. C. Hart photo. 1 PROGRESS REPORT SUMMARY TEXAS AGRILIFE EXTENSION SALTCEDAR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM Allen Knutson and Mark Muegge Texas Agrilife Extension Service, Texas A&M University System Summary. Beginning in 2006, the Saltcedar Biological Control Implementation Program has released saltcedar leaf beetles for the biological control of saltcedar at 23 sites in 15 counties in west Texas. In 2010, leaf beetle populations were established at 12 of these sites and defoliated as estimated 500 acres of saltcedar. These sites were in the Colorado River Basin (Martin, Mitchell, Borden, Coke, Coleman and Tom Green Counties), the Red River Basin (King County), the Brazos River Basin (Crosby, Motley, Garza and Kent Counties), and in the Pecos/Rio Grande River Basin (Pecos, Reeves, Crockett and Brewster Counties). In 2010, this project field collected 354,000 Crete beetles and 47,000 Tunisian beetles for re-distribution at new sites, bringing the 2009-2010 total collection to over 700,000 beetles. In 2011, populations of the Crete species were very low or absent at 75 % of the sites were the Crete beetles had been well established in 2010. This loss is believed due to 2-3 consecutive days of below freezing weather which swept into west Texas in early February, 2012. Some of the Crete populations may have emerged from overwintering and experienced high mortality as the sudden cold front followed several warm days.

  • Texas Water Resources Institute
    Texas Water Resources Institute Spring 1996 Volume 22 No. 1 Surveying Texas' Reservoirs High Tech Programs by TWDB, Texas Universities Produce better Insights Into Sediment Problems at Texas Lakes By Ric Jensen, Information Specialist, TWRI For reservoir owners and water managers, sediment is a dirty word. Imagine that you planned and built a dam in the 1930s to store enough water to meet regional water needs for many years. For example, you may have estimated that the dam and the reservoir it created should store 50,000 acre-feet of water. Now fast-forward to today's conditions. Unfortunately, many parts of the reservoir have probably been filled in by silt and sediment deposited by runoff caused by heavy rains. As a result, your reservoir may now be able to store just 40,000 acre-feet (AF). Maybe, if you are like many water managers, you don't know exactly how much water your reservoir can store today. Sadly, stories like these are fact - - not fiction -- in many instances in Texas and the U.S. Many experts estimate that sedimentation reduces the storage capacity of reservoirs by an average rate of 0.2% annually. If that's the case, Texas could lose enough water to fill 19 reservoirs within the next 50 TWDB professionals take small boats like this one out on Texas lakes to years. Sedimentation is a gather data on lake volumes, storage capacity, and water elevations. difficult problem to investigate, in part because looking at annual rates or current 1 conditions can be misleading. "Much of the sediment that builds up in Texas lakes is deposited by large storms that occur only once in 50 or 100 years," says Texas A&M University Civil Engineer Ralph Wurbs.
