Trans -Texas Water Program
(2/24/94)
PHASE 11
Phase II of the Trans -Texas Water Program will examine in more detail the water supply
alternatives identified during Phase I and will result in a recommended plan of action for
meeting water demands in the planning area. The scope of work for this phase will focus
on better definition of the benefits of each alternative, better definition of environmental
impact, more refined estimates of capital and O&M costs, financing and pricing alternatives,
legal and institutional arrangements for implementation of recommended alternatives, and
development of an implementation plan. It is anticipated that during the Phase II process,
preferred alternatives will be selected by the appropriate Policy Management Committee.
In Phase 11, particular emphasis will be placed on the completion of engineering and
environmental studies necessary to proceed with permit applications at the State level
including water rights applications. The implementation planning will provide an initial
schedule and comprehensive list of activities for the remainder of the program, and establish
costs and legal/institutional issues with enough detail to allow project sponsors to make
decisions to proceed with individual projects. The Phase II work will, to the extent possible,
follow the requirements of the pending TNRCC Regulatory Guidance Document. A
preliminary outline of this document is included as Attachment 1. Phase II includes the
following major work elements:

implications of alternatives identified in Phase I. The focus of Phase
II activities will be the development of an integrated water supply
project through a comprehensive, site specific evaluation of the system
components, including environmental factors often excluded from
conventional engineering and financial analyses. The results of the
Phase II studies will be used to review, update, and expand the draft
document produced in Phase I. The primary work products of the
environmental analysis task will include: 1) the environmental analysis
subsections for each alternative will be carried forward and expanded
in Phase II as discussed in Section 1 above, 2) supporting data and
analyses in appropriate formats (e.g., appendices, technical
memoranda, supplemental reports), 3) an updated evaluation matrix
to summarize and rank potential impacts, refute permitting issues and
project development schedules, and to identify specific mitigation
needs and probable costs, and 4) an Environmental Considerations
Summary that will present a focused discussion of the alternatives,
their mitigation liabilities, and recommended actions. This information
will be used in subsequent phases to prepare Environmental
Assessment Reports to support state and federal permit applications
for alternatives that may be selected for implementation during the
Phase II process. It is anticipated that additional work needs will be
identified during Phase II analysis process and that these would be
addressed in later phases.
