Box 2950 Laredo, TX 78044 Dear Mr. Pinzon: Subject: Aquifer Storage and Recovery-Step 1 Report CH2M HILL is pleased to transmit this Step 1 Report for the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Feasibility Investigation. This phase of the project has consisted mostly of assembling and analyzing existing well information in the Laredo area and assessing the City's water supply and storage plans to determine how the ASR technology might fit into the City's future program. It appears that the ASR technology does have potential applications in the City's future strategy and that the aquifer formations in the Laredo area may yield storage and recovery results that would support the development of a viable ASR program. Further field testing is necessary to confirm the Step 1 findings. Therefore, we are recommending that the City proceed with the second step of the investigation which will consist of developing and testing new wells in selected locations in and around the City. It has been a pleasure working with you on this important project. We are prepared to review the conclusions and recommendations of this report at your convenience.

    Introduction The Complete Television, Radio & Cable Industry Guide fills the need for current, comprehensive television, radio and cable industry information for both U.S. and Canadian markets, and has consistently done so for more than 80 years. We are pleased to continue to offer authoritative information on this dynamic industry in both print and online formats. Important Features Users will find clear separation of U.S. and Canadian material for television, radio and cable. Comprehensive sections include market areas, call letter lists and station profiles. Each station profile separates important elements, such as web sites, ownership, and programming. Key contact names are indented for quick recognition; all television stations include virtual as well as digital channels, and all radio stations include Neilsen Audio’s (formerly Arbitron) market area. The Complete Television, Radio & Cable Industry Industry Guide includes eight major sections, with the “big three” – television, radio and cable – the most significant and most detailed. More than just call letters, this industry guide includes professional services from producers and engineers to equipment manufacturers and legal services, as well as those who consult and advocate for this diverse industry. The front matter of the 2019 edition includes industry statistics including lists of station transactions, top shows, and sales of TV receivers and HDTVs.
