Science Subcommittee Sample Clauses

Science Subcommittee. The Texas Legislature required the EARIP to establish a Science Subcommittee comprised of individuals who have “technical expertise regarding the Xxxxxxx Aquifer system, the threatened and endangered species that inhabit that system, springflows, or the development of withdrawal limitations.” The EARIP has appointed fifteen well- respected scientists from academia, state and federal agencies, water authorities and purveyors, and the private sector to serve as the Science Subcommittee and to make recommendations to the EARIP regarding: • the option of designating a separate San Marcos pool, of how such a designation would affect existing pools, and of the need for an additional well to measure the San Marcos pool, if designated; • the necessity to maintain minimum springflows, including a specific review of the necessity to maintain a flow to protect the federally threatened and endangered species; • as to whether adjustments in the trigger levels for the San Marcos Springs flow for the San Antonio pool should be made; and • withdrawal reduction levels and stages for critical period management to maintain target spring discharge and Aquifer levels based on an analysis of species requirements in relation to spring discharge rates and aquifer levels as a function of recharge and withdrawal levels. The Science Subcommittee recommendations with respect to the first three issues were completed in November 2008 and then were evaluated in a peer-review process. The Science Subcommittee is currently working on the last issue. It is expected to complete its recommendations on the withdrawal reduction levels by December 31, 2009.
