STEVENS WATER TREATMENT PLANT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SLUDGE LAGOONS. WHEREAS, the City of Corpus Christi acquired 155.6 acres of property adjacent to the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant in 1953 for future expansion of the facility; and WHEREAS, in 1971, the City Council designated portions of the property as a wildlife and bird sanctuary, but reserved the right to use the property as part of the filtration plant or as part of the facilities of the Water Department; and WHEREAS, the portions of the 0. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant property that has been used as a wildlife and bird sanctuary are now needed to allow construction of sludge lagoons; and WHEREAS, continued access to portions of the site by outside persons will interfere with the construction of the improvements and the ongoing operations of the Stevens plant; and WHEREAS, studies done by the City's consulting engineers have found that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of the undeveloped portions of the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant for the construction of sludge lagoons; and WHEREAS, reasonable measures are being taken to minimize harm to natural areas within the portions of the plant, which were previously designated as a wildlife and bird sanctuary, by restricting the extent of clearing of the trees and maintaining a corridor of trees around portions of the new facilities; and WHEREAS, the required notices have been published in the Corpus Christi Caller -Times on July 20 and 27 and August 3, 1998, and a public hearing was held on August 11, 1998, on the proposed use of the designated wildlife and bird sanctuary, as required by Chapter 26 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS: SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi finds that the portions of the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant, which were previously designated as a wildlife and bird sanctuary, are needed for the construction of new sludge lagoons and other improvements to the plant, as authorized by the City's Capital Improvement Project Water Project No. 14. The City Council specifically finds that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use or taking of the land for this purpose, and all reasonable planning efforts have been made to minimize harm to the vegetated portions of the facility, which are currently being used as a wildlife and bird sanctuary, and any wildlife and birds that may use the facility, as a result of the construction project.
