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.

  • 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).

  • Oyster Restoration Project in Galveston Bay and Sabine Lake 2014
    Project aims to restore Galveston Bay oyster reefs by CHRISTOPHER SMITH GONZALEZ see http://www.dallasnews.com/news/state/headlines/20140527-project-aims-to-restore-galveston-bay-oyster- reefs.ece The Galveston County Daily News Published: 27 May 2014 06:00 PM GALVESTON — Floating just a couple of meters above an oyster reef in Galveston Bay, two scientists working to improve the reef sifted through rock and shell pulled up from the bottom. “I don’t see any spat,” said Bryan Legare, a natural resource specialist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, as he looked for the small, immature oysters. “It might be a little early for spat since it’s been such a cold winter,” said colleague Bill Rodney, an oyster restoration biologist, as they looked over the pile of cultch — the hard material including rock, crushed limestone and shell that oysters attach to. The young oysters, or spat, will develop as the weather warms, but the pressing question is whether the right conditions will exist for them to grow to mature oysters, which then become part of a multimillion business and which fill an important ecological niche. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is in the midst of the largest oyster reef restoration project it’s ever undertaken. It’s an effort to provide oysters with a hard surface they can grow on. The silt deposited in the bay by Hurricane Ike in 2008 and the ongoing drought have damaged oyster reefs in Galveston Bay. Not much can be done about the lack of rain, but the department is trying to do something to deal with the silt by depositing almost 80,000 tons of river rock, ranging from the size of a marble to a small brick, over Middle Reef, Pepper Grove Reef and Hannah’s Reef in East Bay and the large Sabine Reef in Sabine Lake.

    Oyster Restoration in the Gulf of Mexico Proposals from The Nature Conservancy 2018 COVER PHOTO © RICHARD BICKEL / THE NATURE CONSERVANCY Oyster Restoration in the Gulf of Mexico Proposals from The Nature Conservancy 2018 Oyster Restoration in the Gulf of Mexico Proposals from The Nature Conservancy 2018 Robert Bendick Director, Gulf of Mexico Program Bryan DeAngelis Program Coordinator and Marine Scientist, North America Region Seth Blitch Director of Coastal and Marine Conservation, Louisiana Chapter Introduction and Purpose The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has long been engaged in oyster restoration, as oysters and oyster reefs bring multiple benefits to coastal ecosystems and to the people and communities in coastal areas. Oysters constitute an important food source and provide significant direct and indirect sources of income to Gulf of Mexico coastal communities. According to the Strategic Framework for Oyster Restoration Activities drafted by the Region-wide Trustee Implementation Group for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (June 2017), oyster reefs not only supply oysters for market but also (1) serve as habitat for a diversity of marine organisms, from small invertebrates to large, recreationally and commercially important species; (2) provide structural integrity that reduces shoreline erosion, and (3) improve water quality and help recycle nutrients by filtering large quantities of water. The vast numbers of oysters historically present in the Gulf played a key role in the health of the overall ecosystem. The dramatic decline of oysters, estimated at 50–85% from historic levels throughout the Gulf (Beck et al., 2010), has damaged the stability and productivity of the Gulf’s estuaries and harmed coastal economies.
