'Re: Responses to TWVDB Review Comments on Final Report of Regional Water
Supply Facilities:Plan,(April 29, 2011)
TWDB Contract;No. 0804830848
The: following responses are provided for the three (3) TWDB review comments for the Regional
Water Supply Facilities Plan:Final:Report, dated April 2011. The commentswere provided in
an email from:the Texas Water Development.Board to Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1
on April '29, 2011. For ease of review we have provided verbatim.the comments in italics
followed by our responses in normal font.
1: Comment: Page 1-3, column 2, last paragraph: The contract requires a'third public meeting
to :occur between submittal of Draft Report and submittal' of Final Report to take/consider
public comments for the final report in the addendum, please acknowledge that this
meeting did not occur and provide reason.
Response: A third:public meeting was intended to be 'held after the water rights issue with
TCEQ were :resolved. Due to the time constraint of the project and the disagreement
on the water issue between the Hidalgo County andTCEQ, it made it impossible to
schedule the third public meeting before:the contract deadline. The same attendees
in the first and second public meetings are expected to attend the third ;public
meeting. These attendees were well informed of the project development between
the draft report and final report. The final.report will be made available to all
attendees that attended the first and second public meetings:by the:District.
2. Comment: Page 1-2, col.lpara. I &:col. 2/para. 4: No revisionswere made for this comment,
leaving the statement that the project area source water is onlyrainfall runoff and shallow
groundwater. To my understanding this is not correct -there is. a significant amount
of farmland within the project area that is irrigated using water delivered by an- irrigation
district via: irrigation canals'and this water source is the Rio Grande. In the
addendum, please revise and provide detailed information on the irrigation tailwater that
enters the HCDDI canal'network
Response: There are two:active irrigation water rights related to diversion of water from the
Rio Grande River to theNorth Main Drain - Main Floodwater Channelwatershed.
They are WR No. 23-816 for Hidalgo County Irrigation District No.1 and WR No. 23-
809 for Engleman irrigation District, Delta;LakeIrrigation District, and Alvaro & Ana,
