Updating the TCEQ TMDL Implementation Plan for • Waller, • Walnut, • Taylor Slough South, and • Spicewood Trib of Shoal Julie White Environmental Program Coordinator Julie.White@austintexas.gov 512-974-3527 Andrew Clamann Environmental Scientist Senior Andrew.Clamann@austintexas.gov 512-974-2694 This is not my beautiful creek! You may ask yourself: How did we get here? Water quality monitoring data submitted to the State If data indicates impairment, then the stream is placed on the "303(d)* list" * Clean Water Act Section 303(d) requires states to regularly identify water bodies that do not meet water quality standards ** TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load): a program to analyze data with goal to resolve issue State develops a TMDL** with an Implementation Plan aka "IPlan" You may ask yourself: My God, what's an IPLAN? • A set of strategies to achieve the goal of pollution reduction outlined in the TMDL • Facilitated by TCEQ staff • Developed by stakeholders • 5year implementation period (+ revisions) An I-plan outlines: • What the community will do over the next five years • Who will do it • When they will do it • How we will gauge improvement Currently there are 5 Austin watersheds with IPlans (due to bacteria impairment) IPlan approved in 2011, revised 2017 Gilleland Waller Walnut Taylor Slough South Spicewood Trib of Shoal IPlan for 4 urban watersheds approved in 2015, expired* in 2020, now require revision *IPlans have 5-year approval periods after which they are reviewed and revised (if necessary) The 2015-2020 IPlan for 4 Austin urban creeks 5 primary voluntary strategies • Protect and restore riparian areas • Maintain wastewater infrastructure – includes OSSF, adding public toilets • Improve domestic pet waste management • Education/ public outreach to engage citizens • Improve management of stormwater MS4 Permit & Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) • Population triggered regulatory permit designed to reduce pollutant discharges into city stormwater conveyances. • Develop and implement a plan and submit accomplishments to the TCEQ annually • Periodic audits by TCEQ or EPA Measures to reduce stormwater pollution aka Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) 1. MS4 Maintenance Activities 2. Post-Construction Storm Water Control Measures 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations 5. Industrial and High Risk Runoff 6. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff 7. Public Education and Involvement 8. Monitoring Programs I thought we were talking about I-plans? TMDL measures (previously voluntary) are now required to be included in the SWMP making them regulatory measures. What does the data show from the past 5 years of IPlan implementation? Improvement! 4 out of 5 stream segments are trending in the right direction! (not same as it ever was!) Water Quality Data: AU 1403_J Spicewood Tributary to Shoal Creek 2008-2020 Station 16316 - Spicewood Tributary to Shoal Creek downstream Ceberry Drive January1, 2008 through May 1, 2020 (data not collected under a TCEQ QAPP) ) N P M ( i l o c .
