The Bayou Bowl, with a Successful 16 Year History, Is an All-Star Football Game Featuring 36 of the Best from the Greater Housto
The Bayou Bowl, with a successful 16 year history, is an All-Star Football Game featuring 36 of the best from the Greater Houston Area against 36 of the best from the State of Louisiana. After the 2013 contest, won by Texas, the Louisiana High School Athletic Association and the Greater Houston Football Coaches Association mutually agreed to end the series. As a result of this decision, the GHFCA Board of Directors, wanting to continue with an All-Star Football Game for the players in the Greater Houston Area, adopted the following format. We divided the city into an East-West alignment using I-45 as the dividing line. The U.I.L. High School districts were used to determine the direction of the member schools. The 2014 game was played in Sugarland, a West side venue, the 1st game played using the new format. It featured 72 players from the Greater Houston Area, 36 per squad, from 72 different member schools. The game was broadcast live on KTRK-TV, ABC, Channel 13, with Bob Slovak, sports director of KTRK-TV, handling the play by play. The 2015 game returned to the East side of Houston and Stallworth Stadium, Baytown. The 2016 game was played at Rhodes Stadium with the City of Katy serving as the 2016 Bayou Bowl Host. The 2017 game was played at Turner Stadium, Humble ISD, Humble, TX. The Kingwood Mustang marching band performed as well as the National Champion Dance Team, the Fillies. The 2018 game once again returned to Baytown’s Stallworth Stadium, the original site for the 1st Bayou Bowl Game played in 2003. -

Texas City Levee
This presentation is intended to provide some basic information about 3 subjects: First, Why might a flood protection system be needed for the urbanized, eastern part of Galveston Island? Second, What might a flood protection system be? Third, Why not just tag along with other big projects and just let someone from somewhere else tell Galveston Island what Galveston needs to do and what they are going to allow Galveston to do? The Galveston “Ring Levee” A Critical Investment in Galveston’s Future Goals of the Galveston Ring Levee •Provide bay-side flood protection for the City of Galveston. •Essential to protect Galveston from flooding, even if Ike Dike is built. •Enhance Galveston’s relationship to Galveston Bay. •Encourage investment in Galveston by decreasing the risk of flooding Major storms impact Galveston on a regular basis This is the aftermath of the 1900 Storm 12 10 8 Column 1 6 Column 2 Column 3 4 2 0 Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 The response of the citizens of Galveston to protect the city from battering storm waves was the first of multiple phases of the Seawall.

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). -
