Item 2011 Colorado and Lavaca BBASC environmental flows recommendation report(2011-08) Brzozowski, Patrick; Hess, Myron; Arendale, Bruce; Dailey, James; Gertson, Ronald; Hall, Carroll; Hill, David; Huffman, Deedy; King, Joe; Lewis, Jr., Frank; Lutes, Teresa; Ottis, Richard; Pickens, Bob; Raun, L. G.; Runge, Caroline; Sansom, Andrew; Schomburg, Clarence; Shoemate, Robert; Simon, Haskell; Treybig, Harold; Zarling, SuzanneFor your consideration, the Colorado and Lavaca Rivers Basin and Bay Area Stakeholder Committee (CL-BBASC) hereby submits its final report pursuant to its charge under Senate Bill 3 (80th R, 2007). This charge directed the BBASC to review the Colorado and Lavaca Bay and Basin Expert Science Team (CL-BBEST) recommendation for environmental flows and to weigh the environmental need for water with the need for water for other purposes, including human needs, and to make recommendations on �environmental flow standards� and strategies for the Bay-Basin complex. Water evolving in these two river basins satisfies the thirst of Texans and flora and fauna alike from the Texas Hill Country to the coastal plains and prairie of the Gulf of Mexico, ultimately feeding one of the most prolific and profitable bay and estuary systems along the entire Gulf Coast. This being said, it is my pleasure to inform you that the BBASC recommendations included in this report are consensus recommendations. This report reflects significant efforts of all BBASC members to seek solutions that addressed their highest concerns, while also finding ways to understand and address the important concerns of the other members, in the true spirit of consensus. It is our expectation that as we now transition to the rules making process, the consensus decisions reported herein are carried forward.Item 2012 Colorado and Lavaca Rivers and Matagorda and Lavaca Bays BBASC draft work plan(6/26/2012) Brzozowski, Patrick; Hess, Myron; Arendale, Bruce; Bondy, Karen; Dailey, James; Gertson, Ronald; Hall, Carroll; Hill, David; Huffman, Deedy; King, Joe; Lewis, Jr., Frank; Lutes, Teresa; Maloney, Jack; Pickens, Bob; Raun, L.G.; Runge, Caroline; Sansom, Andrew; Schomburg, Clarence; Shoemate, Robert; Treybig, Harold; Walker, JenniferThis document sets out the work plan developed by the Colorado and Lavaca Basin and Bay Area Stakeholder Committee (BBASC) in conjunction with the Colorado and Lavaca Basin and Bay Area Expert Science Team (BBEST) pursuant to Section 11.02362 (p) of the Texas Water Code. The purpose of this work plan is to guide future changes in environmental flows analysis, environmental flows standards, and strategies to provide environmental flows. The work plan is designed, and will be implemented, with awareness of the ecological complexity linking groundwater and surface water with the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of sound environments.
