Item Interim Report III Service Area Delineation(Coastal Bend Council of Governments, 1977-09) Urban Engineering; University of Texas Marine Science Institute; Southwest Research Institute; Coastal Bend Council of GovernmentsInterim Report III, "Service Area Delineation for Wastewater Treatment Systems" is one of eleven outputs which must undergo a thorough local review plus a public hearing before it can be submitted to the State for certification. If certified by the Governor, the document can be submitted to the funding agency, the Environmental Protection Agency for final review. The report was prepared by consultants for the Coastal Bend Council of Governmments. It described the existing wastewater collection and treatment facilities in the 208 study area. The purpose in documenting the existing system components was to have a point of departure should expansions or modification by necessary. The maps at the end of this report illustrate the major system components and discharge points. A reduced versionof the area in question is presented first. Then a series of enlargements follow depicting on a larger scale the communities shown on the reduced version.Item Interim Report IV Projected Waste Loads and Flows(Coastal Bend Council of Governments, 1977-09) Urban Engineering; University of Texas Marine Science Institute; Southwest Research Institute; Coastal Bend Council of GovernmentsThis report is one of eleven "interim reports" issued by the Coastal Bend Council of Governments pursuant to Environmental Protection Agency requirements under Section 208 of Public Law 92-500. The report was drafted by the CBCOG with input from many sources, including public interest committees and professional consultants. The report was subjected to a public hearing before being finalized for submission to the Texas Water Quality Board and the EPA. Material is drawn principally from three of the project "tasks" prepared by the CBCOG staff and three consultants. The consultants participating in this phase of the project are the Marine Science Institute of Port Aransas and Southwest Research Institute and Urban Engineering of Corpus Christi. The principal "tasks" used for input are known as Task 2.6 (Inventory Existing Point Sources), Task 2.7 (Inventory Intermittent Point Sources), and Task 2.8 (Projected Waste Loads).Item Interim Report V Alternative Control Strategies for Point and Nonpoint Discharges - DRAFT(Coastal Bend Council of Governments, 1977-10) University of Texas Marine Science Institute; Southwest Research Institute; Urban Engineering; Coastal Bend Council of GovernmentsInterim Report V is one of the eleven major reports to be prepared within the Corpus Christi "208" study area. It is a major program output in that a specific review and comment process is to be followed before state certification can be given the document. Following state certification, these special outputs can be forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency for final review. Citizen participation is a critical phase of the local review process. "Alternate Control Strategies for Point and Nonpoint Discharges" is a composite of information from several earlier task outputs. Each chapter in this document addresses a project output that has a special linkage to the proposed alternative control strategies, (Chapter 6). Not all of the information compiled or prepared during individual task efforts is presented in the following chapters, only summaries are provided except in Chapter 6 which is presented in a more complete documentation of Tasks 2.9 and 2.25 which generated "alternative systems configurations" and "defined technical subplans" respectively. The reader must refer to individual task outputs for more detailed information about a particular subject. The purpose of this report is to present alternative technical solutions to identified water quality management problems. The costs, environmental effects, and system characteristics for each technical proposal, by water segment, are derived in the following chapters. The report outline followed in preparing this document is defined in the approved "Detailed Work Program for the Corpus Christi Areawide Waste Treatment Planning Program", (Appendix E).Item Regional Disaster Assistance Information Handbook(Coastal Bend Council of Governments, 1974-06) Coastal Bend Council of GovernmentsDisaster Assistance Information Handbook identifies local disaster relief resources which area governments can mobilize in the event of a natural disaster. Information on local disaster relief resources includes identification of Government-owned equipment which could be pressed into service for: debris removal, fire, and rescue services, medical transport, and emergency power. The Handbook also identifies state, federal, and private agencies and groups with disaster relief functions. General procedures for requesting such assistance are also outlined. In response to reviewed local inquiries concerning the Federal Flood Insurance Program, model ordinances for Coastal Aid riverine flooding (developed by HUD and CBCOG) are again reviewed.Item Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Through Intergovernmental Cooperation(Coastal Bend Council of Governments, 1974-02) Coastal Bend Council of GovernmentsProblems in solid waste collection and disposal in Bee County were identified as having potential solutions through intergovernmental cooperation. At least, solid waste management has been addressed through the cooperative involvement of two or more units of local government in recent years and the concept was singled out for investigation within the Beeville-Bee County study. In addition to identifying possible activities or services which could be pursued cooperatively by the city and county, there was an immediate need to investigate solutions for the county's solid waste disposal problems. Therefore, the study had two primary objectives: To evaluate alternative solutions and modifications to ongoing solid waste disposal activities and secondly, to identify areas of city-county cooperation in the realm of solid waste operations. Presented in the following report are the findings of this solid waste study. Of initial concern is the selection of a program of rural solid waste collection and disposal. Certain activities within the chosen solution may be suited to joint efforts by the city and county. Based on the possible solutions investigated for rural solid waste management, some avenues of intergovernmental service are discussed briefly. Information on soils, groundwater, topography, and geology is included within the text as these factors must be considered in the development of a solid waste management system.
