  • Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List
    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).

Box 17300 Fort Worth, Texas 76102-0300 Consultation No. 2-15-F-2004-0242 Dear Mr. Lea: This document transmits the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) biological opinion based on our review of the proposed water operations by the Colorado River Municipal Water District (District) on the Colorado and Concho rivers, located in Coleman, Concho, Coke, Tom Green, and Runnels counties. These actions are authorized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) under Permit Number 197900225, Ivie (Stacy) Reservoir project, pursuant to compliance with the Clean Water Act. The District and the Corps have indicated, through letters dated September 10, 2004, and September 13, 2004, respectively, that an emergency condition affecting human health and safety exists with this action. We have considered the effects of the proposed action on the federally listed threatened Concho water snake (Nerodia harteri paucimaculata) in accordance with formal interagency consultation pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The emergency consultation provisions are contained within 50 CFR section 402.05 of the Interagency Regulations. Your July 8, 2004, request for reinitiating formal consultation was received on July 12, 2004. You designated District as your non-federal representative. This biological opinion is based on information provided in agency reports, telephone conversations, field investigations, and other sources of information.

Date of Evaluation: February 24, 2020 Proposed Letting Date: November 2022 Project not assigned to TxDOT under the NEPA Assignment MOU District(s): Austin County(ies): Travis Roadway Name: State Loop 360 Limits From: Lake Austin Limits To: North of RM 2222 Project Description: TxDOT Austin District proposes to improve a portion of State Loop 360 from Lake Austin to north of RM 2222 in Austin, Travis County, Texas. The proposed project includes improvements to the intersection at SL 360 at Courtyard Drive by removing the signal on the mainlanes and replacing it with an underpass. The project would also construct a diverging diamond intersection at RM 2222. Bicycle/pedestrian accommodations will also be provided. The project is 0.86 miles in length and the project area is 67.2 acres in size. No easements are proposed for the project. No new ROW is required for the project. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 9, 2019, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT. 1. No Is the project limited to a maintenance activity exempt from coordination? http://txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/environmental/maintenance-program.html 2. No Has the project previously completed coordination with TPWD? 3. Yes Is the project within range of a state threatened or endangered species or SGCN and suitable habitat is present? *Explain: Suitable habitat for the Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia - E), bracted twistflower (Streptanthus bracteatus - T), and Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus - T) was observed within the project area.

A high prevalence of infection with an introduced digenean Renifer aniarum, previously known only from North America, was found in the grass snake Natrix natrix in the Calabria region, southern Italy. Morphological and molecular comparison with North American R. aniarum has confirmed the identity of the Italian spec- imens. A total of 41 grass snakes were studied for R. aniarum infection. Of 24 snakes sampled be - tween 2009 and 2010, 22 were positive for this parasite. In contrast, all 17 snakes sampled from museum collections between 1983 and 1994 were negative. Our results support the hypothesis that R. aniarum was perhaps introduced into this area during the 1990s by the translocation of the Amer- ican bullfrog Lithobates (Rana) catesbeianus, a normal second intermediate host of the digenean in its native range in North America.

  • Brush Control
    2021 Brazos G Regional Water Plan | Volume II Brush Control 12 Brush Control Brush control is a potential water management strategy that could create additional water supply in the Brazos G Area. The Texas Brush Control Program, created in 1985 and operated by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB), served to study and implement brush control programs until September 2011. HB1808 established a new program in 2012, the Water Supply Enhancement Program (WSEP), with the purpose and intent of increasing available surface and ground water supplies through the selective control of brush species detrimental to water conservation. The WSEP program is described in the January 2017 State Water Supply Enhancement Plan1. The TSSWCB collaborates with soil water conservation districts and other local, regional, state, and federal agencies to identify watersheds across the state where it is feasible to implement brush control to enhance water supplies. The TSSWCB uses a competitive grant process to rank feasible projects and allocate WSEP grant funds, giving priority to projects that balance the most critical water needs with the highest projected water yield from brush control. For a watershed to be considered eligible for allocation of WSEP cost-share funds, a feasibility study must demonstrate runoff increases in project post-treatment conditions. At this time, two feasibility studies have been completed in the Brazos G Region, resulting in on-going projects: • Lake Fort Phantom Hill watershed – in FY 2018 the TSSWCB provided $250,000 in matching funds Subbasin 15. • Lake Palo Pinto watershed – in FY 2018 the TSSWCB provided $200,000 in matching funds for Subbasin 22108082.
