Public Comment XIII. Adjournment Red River Compact Commission Texas Environmental Committee Report June 29, 2020 Invasive Species Zebra Mussels Texas has nineteen lakes within five major river basins that has been fully infested by zebra mussels. The Red River Basin became the first basin within the state to have a confirmed infection when an adult zebra mussel was discovered in Lake Texoma on April 3, 2009. Two additional lakes near Lake Texoma have since been listed as fully infested. Lake Dean Gilbert, a 45-acre community fishing lake near the City of Sherman, was listed in 2015; and Randell Lake, near Denson, was listed in 2017. Texas Environmental Report June 29, 2020 Page | 2 Zebra mussel regulations include all of Texas for all types and sizes of boats used on fresh waters. Boaters are required to drain all water from their vessel, including live wells, bilges, motors and any other receptacles, before approaching or leaving a water body. Possession or transportation of zebra mussels in Texas is a Class C misdemeanor for the first offense, punishable by a fine of up to $500. Repeat offenses can be elevated to a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, jail time up to 180 days, or both. Other Exotic Aquatic Species Besides zebra mussels, it is unlawful to transport or possess any exotic aquatic species Texas has listed as harmful or potentially harmful. Special rules for the Red River Basin include provisions for grass, bighead and silver carp. Texas Environmental Report June 29, 2020 Page | 3 Grass Carp The grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is listed as a potentially harmful exotic species in Texas. However, state law allows controlled stocking of triploid (non- reproducing) grass carp to control nuisance aquatic plants. Anyone wishing to purchase or stock these fish in public or private water must first obtain a permit from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Reservoirs in the Red River Basin with grass carp permitting include Spring Lake Park Pool in Texarkana, Pittsburg City Lake in Camp County, Lake Cypress Springs in Franklin County, and Waterloo Lake in Denison, Texas. If a grass carp is caught in these waters, it must be immediately returned to the water unharmed. Bighead and Silver Carp In the attempt to stop, or slow the intrusion of bighead and silver carp it is unlawful to transport live, non-game fishes from the following locations in the Red River Basin: 1) below Lake Texoma downstream to the Arkansas border, 2) Big Cypress Bayou downstream of Ferrell’s Bridge Dam on Lake O’ the Pines (including the Texas waters of Caddo Lake), and 3) the Sulphur River downstream of the Lake Wright Patman Dam. Nongame fishes collected from these waters may be used as live bait on the water bodies they were collected. More information can be found on the Texas Parks and Wildlife and Texas Invasive webpages. Texas Clean Rivers Program The Texas Clean Rivers Program is a partnership between the TCEQ and regional water authorities to coordinate and conduct water quality monitoring, assessment, and stakeholder participation to improve the quality of surface water within each river basin in Texas. Established in 1991, the Clean Rivers Program (CRP) has become one of the most successful cooperative efforts between federal, state, and local agencies and the citizens of the State of Texas. Fifteen regional water authorities manage the program in 23 river and coastal basins. The CRP is a hub for water quality information and coordination of monitoring efforts and public participation, for each river basin. CRP partners collect more than 60% of water quality data used by TCEQ. Texas Environmental Report June 29, 2020 Page | 4 There are three separate partners with TCEQ for watersheds in the Red River Basin. The Red River Authority of Texas is the partner agency for both the Red and Canadian River Basins. The Northeast Texas Municipal Water District is the partner agency for Cypress River Basin. The Sulphur River Basin Authority of Texas is the partner agency for Sulphur River Basin. The Clean Rivers Program for the Red River watershed in Texas, managed by the Red River Authority of Texas, provides the current state of the basin through the annual Basin Highlights Report found at: http://www.rra.texas.gov/?dhp=/Publications/CRP/ TCEQ has developed a map-based tool for the CRP for online viewing metadata associated with TCEQ monitoring stations and a query tool for extracting surface water quality data from the TCEQ's Surface Water Quality Monitoring Information System. These tools can be found at the following links: https://www80.tceq.texas.gov/SwqmisWeb/public/crpweb.faces Surface Water Quality Monitoring TCEQ’s Surface Water Quality Monitoring (SWQM) Program monitors and evaluates physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of aquatic systems as a basis for effective policy. More than 1,800 surface water sites statewide are used to collect physical, chemical, and biological samples as part of the SWQM program. This data is used by TCEQ to characterize existing conditions or identify emerging problems, evaluate the effectiveness of water quality control programs, or identify trends. The data are also used to determine compliance with the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards through the Texas Integrated Report. Texas Environmental Report June 29, 2020 Page | 5 SWQM has an interactive Surface Water Quality Viewer (ArcOnline map) available to the public that allows users to view the stream segments and water bodies (including impairment status) for any body of water in Texas that the TCEQ monitors. Surface Water Quality Monitoring (SWQM) Stations are also included in the viewer. An annual workshop is held each fall to bring together surface water quality monitoring professionals in Texas who provide water quality data to TCEQ to learn about procedures to assure the quality and comparability of data and to share advances in search. The 33rd Annual SWQM Workshop was held October 21-23, 20219, in Bandera, Texas.

  • French Place Names in Clark County, Arkansas
    Ouachita Baptist University Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita Articles Faculty Publications Winter 2019 French Place Names in Clark County, Arkansas Joe Jeffers Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/articles Part of the Geography Commons, and the United States History Commons Clark County Historical Journal -- 2019 French Place Names in Clark County, Arkansas Joe Jeffers French place names are common in Arkansas, especially in south Arkansas, where after the French explorers left, French trappers and settlers from Canada moved in. Some of those names remain unchanged from the original French. General usage and English speaking settlers modified others. Clark County was one of five counties established in the Arkansas Territory. Its boundaries changed five times before reaching its present form in 1877. This article explores French place names in today’s Clark County and in the original Clark County formed in 1818. ~~~~~~~~~~ French place names abound in Arkansas, particularly in south Arkansas. The indigenous people were Caddo, Osage, and Quapaw, among others. The first European explorers came in 1541, when Hernando de Soto led a Spanish expedition into Arkansas looking for gold. They found many tribal villages and large fields of maize, but no gold.1 They killed many tribesmen and transmitted disease, but left no settlements. DeSoto died a year later, and the Spanish were gone within another year. More than 100 years later, French explorers entered Arkansas -- Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet in 1673, and Robert La Salle and Henri de Tonti in 1681. They found only widely scattered tribal villages of mostly hunter-gatherer groups, not the more populous settlements encountered by the Spanish.
