    Consumer Plannlng Section Comprehensive Plannlng Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas Texans Outdoors: An Analysis of 1985 Participation in Outdoor Recreation Activities By Kathryn N. Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ...........................................................................................................

Sanchez, and Timothy B. Griffith Prepared for South Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc. Principal Investigators: Brandon S. Young and Timothy B. Griffith August 2014 ABSTRACT Between 2012 and 2014, archeologists from Blanton & Associates, Inc., at the request of the South Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc., conducted an intensive, non-collection, archeological survey of the proposed Red Gate Power Plant project in Hidalgo and Starr Counties, Texas. The area of potential effect (APE) comprised the 336-acre power plant site property in Hidalgo County, and an 891-acre, 24.5-mile proposed natural gas pipeline right-of-way in Hidalgo and Starr Counties. Investigation of the power plant APE discovered one mid to late twentieth century historic residential complex (41HG238), with an associated corral and minor structures. Based on the recent date of construction, lack of integrity, and paucity of buried material, site 41HG238 is recommended as ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NHRP). Investigation of the pipeline APE did not discover any additional archeological resources. In summary, no NHRP-eligible sites were discovered, no artifacts were collected, and curation was unnecessary.
