  • Transportation Often Referred to As the ?South Texas Crossroads? Aptly
    Mr. Dale Fowler (CEcD, Victoria Economic Development Corporation, President) Web Site: http://victoriaedc.com Email: [email protected] Phone Number: 1.800.765.8198 Fax Number: 361.485.3190 Transportation Often referred to as the ?South Texas Crossroads? Aptly named for its outstanding location on the convergence of several major highways, the well-planned regional transportation infrastructure offers a variety of choices including rail, waterway, and air to move raw materials, finished products, and people in and out of Victoria. Highway Network and I-69 Project Victoria's excellent highway system includes US Hwy 59, US Hwy 87, US Hwy 77 with easy access to Interstate Highways I-10, I-35, and I-37. This network connects Victoria to neighboring cities, all parts of the United States, and internationally to Mexico. Victoria is the intersecting point on the "high-priority interstate I-69 corridor" project connecting south texas to Mexico. U.S. Highway 59 (future I-69) is a four-lane, divided, interstate-quality highway that extends southwest of Victoria to Laredo, and northeast to Houston where it meets I-10 and I-45. U.S. Highway 77 travels north from Victoria to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex intersecting I-10, I-35 and I- 37, and south via a four-lane, divided highway to the Rio Grande Valley. U.S. Highway 87 travels northwest connecting Victoria with San Antonio and providing access to I-35, and to the southeast connecting with Port Lavaca. Rail Union Pacific (UP) is the primary operator of the rail lines in Victoria County. Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) and Kansas City Southern (KCS) have track rights to operate on the UP lines.

  • 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).

Texas has the most robust maritime system in the United States. In 2015, Texas was ranked first in the nation in total foreign imports and exports and second in the nation for total tonnage. The state’s maritime system continues to be a critical gateway to international trade and provides the residents of the state with a multitude of economic opportunities through the movement of waterborne commerce and trade. In 2015, the Texas Ports Association conducted an economic study focused on defining the value of Texas ports to the state and the nation. Maritime activity at Texas ports: • Moved over 563 million tons of cargo including 350 million tons of international tonnage and nearly 200 million tons of domestic cargo • Handled over 1.8 million containers • Served over 1.6 million cruise passengers • Supported over 1.5 million jobs in the state • Provided over $368 billion in total economic value to the state, 23% of the overall state GDP • Generated over $92 billion in personal income and local consumption of goods • Generated $6.9 billion of state and local taxes Texas ports are critical economic engines for their communities and the state.

  • Listing of Texas Ports
    TRANSPORTATION Policy Research CENTER Overview: Texas Ports and Navigation Districts The first Navigation District was established in 1909, and there are now 24 Navigation Districts statewide.1 Navigation districts generally provide for the construction and improvement of waterways in Texas for the purpose of navigation. The creation of navigation districts is authorized in two different articles of the Texas Constitution to serve different purposes. Section 52, Article III, authorizes counties, cities, and other political corporations or subdivisions to issue bonds and levy taxes for the purposes of improving rivers, bays, creeks, streams, and canals to prevent overflow, to provide irrigation, and to permit navigation. Section 59, Article XVI, authorizes the creation of conservation and reclamation districts for the purpose of conserving and developing natural resources, including the improvement, preservation, and conservation of inland and coastal water for navigation and controlling storm water and floodwater of rivers and streams in aid of navigation. This section authorizes conservation and reclamation districts to issue bonds and levy taxes for those purposes. Generally, however, navigation districts are structured, governed, and financed in the same manner. Chapters 60 through 63, Texas Water Code, set forth provisions relating to navigation districts. The purposes and functions of navigation districts are very similar, regardless of the Chapter of the Water Code under which they were created. More than one chapter of the Water Code may be applicable to the manner in which a given navigation district conducts its business. Chapter 61 (Article III, Section 52, Navigation Districts) authorizes the creation of districts to operate under Section 52, Article III, Texas Constitution.

    APRIL 2011 Habitat Restoration in the Middle Trinity River Basin When it comes to water, the Trinity River is the life blood of people in Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Houston. Compromised flow, water quality impairments, and increasing water demands have forced municipalities within the Trinity River Basin to consider long-term solutions for clean water supply often from outside entities (e.g., purchase and transfer of water from other regions of the state). 1 Trinity River—Perspective of History When it comes to water, the Trinity River is the It must have been something to see the Trinity River life blood of people in Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) prior to European settlement, when Native Americans and Houston.
