A Publication of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority Fall 2017 3 / Hydro Repairs Underway 8 / Zebra Mussels 16 / Grant Helps SOLC Constituent Communiqué Building Relationships In its 10-county statutory district, the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority works with a variety of customers for water sales and treatment, wastewater treatment, power sales, recreational undertakings and other services. In conducting those operations, GBRA staff also work closely with elected officials, developers and other constituents to determine their current and future needs and to see how GBRA can help address those needs. The purpose of our efforts is to provide exceptional service for their benefit. We are able to do this by ensuring that GBRA has highly skilled employees who receive relevant training year round. This also includes state licensed operators for the water and wastewater treatment facilities that we own and Ithose that we operate in partnership with customers in our basin. Today, GBRA continues to nurture long-standing relationships with its current customers while building new relationships with new partners. Furthering existing partnerships and addressing a need for a geographic area that lacks certain utilities, GBRA is securing a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) to provide wastewater services to an unincorporated area between New Braunfels and Seguin. GBRA will work in partnership with New Braunfels Utilities and the city of Seguin to provide wholesale wastewater treatment to wastewater that is collected from the new developments that are occurring in this high growth area. GBRA is stepping up to build these relationships because the area is growing and circumstances demand it. -

Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ........................................................................................................... -

												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).
