The fish consumption use was not assessed. This segment was identified as a threatened water body on the 2000 303(d) List due to atrazine in finished drinking water. Because an insufficient number of atrazine samples in surface water were available in 2002 to demonstrate that the standard is no longer threatened, this segment will be identified as threatened for atrazine until sufficient data in surface water are available. There were insufficient data to assess for atrazine. 2004 Concerns: Assessment Area Use or Concern Concern Status Description of Concern From confluence with Coppers Contact Recreation Use Use Concern bacteria Branch to confluence with San Gabriel River 2004 Texas Water Quality Inventory Page : 2 (-based on data from 03/01/1998 to 02/28/2003) Monitoring sites used: Assessment Area Station ID Station Description From CR 106 to confluence with 16409 LITTLE RIVER AT FM 437, NE OF DAVILLA Boggy Creek From confluence with Coppers 11888 LITTLE RIVER AT US 77 BRIDGE SOUTHEAST OF CAMERON Branch to confluence with San Gabriel River From confluence with Coppers 17499 LITTLE RIVER AT CITY OF CAMERON PWS INTAKE LOCATED AT EAST Branch to confluence with San END OF EAST GILLIS STREET AND 1.4 KM SE OF THE CITY OF CAMERON Gabriel River From confluence with San Gabriel 13544 LITTLE RIVER AT FM 1600 SW OF CAMERON River to CR 106 Lower 25 miles to the confluence 11887 LITTLE RIVER AT COUNTY ROAD NORTH OF GAUSE with Coopers Branch.

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).

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.

Colregs Demarcation Lines
COLREGS DEMARCATION LINES 33 CFR 88.05 Copy of Rules – The operator of each self-propelled vessel 12 meters (39.4 feet) or more in length shall carry on board and maintain for ready reference a copy of the Inland Navigation Rules. NOTE: There is no such rule for vessels to carry a copy of the Nav Rules if they never go inside the COLREGs Demarcation Line. Most vessels are docked in locations inside the COLREGs demarcation lines listed here and therefore must carry a copy of the Inland Navigation Rules on board their vessel. If your vessel never operates inside the lines of demarcation you are not required to carry a copy of these rules on board your vessel. GENERAL § 33 CFR 80.01 General basis and purpose of demarcation lines. (a) The regulations in this part establish the lines of demarcation delineating those waters upon which mariners shall comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS) and those waters upon which mariners shall comply with the Inland Navigation Rules. (b) The waters inside of the lines are Inland Rules Waters. The waters outside the lines are COLREGS Waters. 1. FIND THE AREA YOU OPERATE IN THEN CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW . 2.

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM To: David Koinm, Application Manager Water Rights Team Water Rights Permitting & Availability Section Date: November 19,2007 Through: Bill Billingsley, Team Leader Resource Protection Team Water Rights Permitting & Availability Section From: Wendy Gordon, Ph.D., Aquatic Scientist Resource Protection Team Water Rights Permitting & Availability Section Subject: Brazos River Authority WRPERM 5851 CN600506794 RN104319736 Brazos River Basin Environmental reviews of water right applications are conducted in accordance with §11.042, §11.147, §11.1491, §11.150, and §11.152 of the Texas Water Code and with TCEQ administrative rules which include 30 TAC §297.53 through §297 .56. These statutes and rules require the TCEQ to consider the possible impacts of the granting of a water right on fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, and instream uses associated with the affected body of water. Possible impacts to bays and estuaries are also addressed. APPLICATION SUMMARY The Brazos River Authority has applied for a permit, designated its "System Operation Permit," to authorize: 1) appropriation of state water for multiple use purposes; 2) appropriation of current and future return flows; 3) an exempt interbasin transfer of the water requested; 4) operational flexibility; 5) recognition that the System Operation Permit will prevail over inconsistent provisions in its existing water rights; and 6) the use of the bed and banks of the Brazos River, its tributaries, and BRA's reservoirs for the storage, conveyance and subsequent diversion of state water appropriated pursuant to this application and from other sources. The BRA owns the following water rights, which comprise BRA's system of reservoirs for the purposes ofthis application: Certificate of Adjudication (Certificate) No.
