The purpose of this study is to assist TCEQ in identifying, evaluating, and ranking compliance
options for selected public water systems (PWS) for the Water Supply Division. Researchers will develop a feasibility
report outlining compliance options for each of three PWS's in the Wichita Falls area that exceed nitrate levels and
develop general methodology for assisting TCEQ and PWS's that will enable them to reach compliance using sound
engineering and financial methods and data.
The study includes developing an inventory of available sources for groundwater and surface water quality and
water availability data, including data and information from TCEQ, Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS), regional planning groups, groundwater districts, groundwater availability models, water
availability models, well driller's logs, etc. The inventory will first identify all regional data sources and then
further refine data sources to the area within approximately 60 mi of the city of Wichita Falls, which is the pilot
study area. |
