Congress Ave. Austin, TX 78711-3231, www.twdb.texas.gov Phone (512) 463-7847, Fax (512) 475-2053 Executive summary In June 2016, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) entered into an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, to perform a volumetric and sedimentation survey of Possum Kingdom Lake (Palo Pinto County, Texas). The Brazos River Authority provided 50 percent of the funding for this survey, while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, provided the remaining 50 percent of the funding through their Planning Assistance to States Program. Surveying was performed using a multi-frequency (208 kHz, 50 kHz, and 24 kHz), sub-bottom profiling depth sounder. In addition, sediment core samples were collected in select locations and correlated with the multi-frequency depth sounder signal returns to estimate sediment accumulation thicknesses and sedimentation rates. Morris Sheppard Dam and Possum Kingdom Lake are located on the Brazos River, approximately 18 miles southeast of Graham, in Palo Pinto County, Texas. -
SPECIAL PROJECTS the Brazos River
SPECIAL PROJECTS The Brazos River Authority’s (BRA) public outreach activites include involving our stakeholders in planning water quality and watershed protection activities in the Brazos Basin as well as education and outreach programs. Brazos River Basin Clean Rivers Program Steering Committee The size and diversity of issues across the Brazos River Watershed presents a challenge for the large group of stakeholders in our basin. The Brazos River Clean Rivers Program (CRP) Steering Committee participants represent diverse interests that are represented by government agencies, municipalities, industry, agriculture, organized local stakeholder groups, individuals, and environmental groups. The BRA holds an annual meeting that provides the Steering Committee with an opportunity to hear results of water quality monitoring and CRP special studies and gives them a forum where they may voice opinions, make recommendations and interact with other stakeholder participants and BRA staff. Steering Committee members also participate by providing input into planning water quality monitoring activities, prioritizing problems within the basin for prospective CRP special studies, identifying problem areas and developing actions to address potential problem areas in the basin. How to get involved with the Brazos Basin CRP? BRA promotes communication and participation from the general public. If you are interested in serving on the Brazos River Basin CRP Steering Committee, send an email addressed to [email protected]. Please indicate what topics you are interested in and provide an email address so that you can receive electronic notices of meetings and reports. In addition, the information you provide will help us to develop more effective meetings and provide direction to the program. -
