    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).

About fifteen of these become tropical depressions, areas of low pressure with closed wind patterns. Of the fifteen, ten become tropical storms, and six become hurricanes. Every five years, one of the hurricanes will become reach category five status, normally in the western Atlantic or western Caribbean. About every fifty years, one of these extremely intense hurricanes will strike the United States, with disastrous consequences. Texas has seen its share of hurricane activity over the many years it has been inhabited. Nearly five hundred years ago, unlucky Spanish explorers learned firsthand what storms along the coast of the Lone Star State were capable of. Despite these setbacks, Spaniards set down roots across Mexico and Texas and started colonies. Galleons filled with gold and other treasures sank to the bottom of the Gulf, off such locations as Padre and Galveston Islands.

  • 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.

Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan. On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. The essential staff providing assistance for the development of the RMP included Lessley Pulliam, manager of Tenkiller State Park; Jim Sturges, park manager; Bryan Farmer, park ranger; and Leann Bunn, naturalist at Tenkiller State Park. Each provided insight from their years of experience at or in association with Tenkiller State Park. Assistance was also provided by Deby Snodgrass, Kris Marek, and Doug Hawthorne – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Greg Snider, northeast regional manager for Oklahoma State Parks, also assisted throughout the project. It is the purpose of the Resource Management Plan to be a living document to assist with decisions related to the resources within the park and the management of those resources. The authors’ desire is to assist decision-makers in providing high quality outdoor recreation experiences and resources for current visitors, while protecting the experiences and the resources for future generations.
