RINCON BAYOU DIVERSION PROJECT
BIOLOGICAL MONITORING YEAR 9: 2009 - 2010
University of Texas Marine Science Institute
STATEMENT OF WORK
18 August 2009 revised 8 September}
1, SUMMARY
This Statement of Work SOW} is in response to a letter dated 24 July 2009 from Assistant City
Director for Engineering, Kevin Stowers based on a letter to Director Mr, Gustavo Gonzalez on
19 June, The 19 June letter outlined a reduced plan for biological monitoring of the Rincon that
is directly related to the development of operational strategies of the Calallen PoollRincon Bayou
pipeline, The revised SOW addresses the following requirements as established by the City and
our science working group:
1 } Participating in meetings and workshops to identify and evaluate operational alternatives
for the Calallen Pipeline including reviewing technical evaluations of the alternatives}.
2} Assembling andlor updating an integrated database that compiles the Nueces Estuary data
collected to date by the various universities in a form that will be most useful to the
Senate Bill 3 discussion.
3} Performing additional interpretation of the integrated database beyond what has been
published to date.
4} Continue to collect data focused on the effects and benefits of using the pipeline to
deliver inflows to Rincon Bayou in order to assess and refine the reservoir operating plan,
To reduce the scope of work to meet budgetary constraints, we examined where samples were
being taken now, and where they should be taken in order to meet the action item number 4
above. The prioritization of stations was based on three precepts. 1 } the environmental flow
from the pipeline diversion would likely be contained within the channel of Rincon Bayou, 2}the
flow of 3,000 ac-ft would not likely reach much farther downstream than the railroad bridge
where station 4b3 is located, and 3} a statistically balanced and scientific~based experimental
design must be maintained.
In response to the prioritization process and the four actions outlined above, we revised our SO~V
for vegetation and water quality monitoring Table 1 }, Specific sampling parameters are the same
that we have historically provided to the City over the past nine years Table 2}, This revised
effort has reduced the number of samples required for nutrient analysis, resulting in revised
estimates for additional water quality monitoring, should this be requested by the City at selected
stations Table 3},

2. SPECIFIC TASKS
Based on the reduced monitoring plan, we propose the following outline for a statement of work,
which is in line with accomplishing the four action items listed above:
1 } Participate in meetings with the City, its contractors, and NEAC to devise the operating
plan for environmental flows to satisfy action item one...
2} Provide annual reports, continue synthesis work, and publish results to satisfy action item
two.
3} Make the data collected each year a deliverable to the Harte Research Institute ~HRI} to
satisfy action item three.

4} Perform monitoring described in Table 2 to satisfy action item four,
3. DELIVERABLES
The deliverables for this project are based on the 24 July 2009 letter from Kevin Stowers and the
letter to Mr. Gustavo Gonzalez on 19 June as summarized by the above action items and
statement of work;
a. For Task 1. Attend meetings with the City, its contractors, and NEAC as requested.
b. For Task 2: An annual report that synthesizes the results of all monitoring through
201 D for water quality and vegetation. All measured parameters are presented in
tables and graphs with associated text. As in previous years, we will continue to
submit these annual reports, which have always incorporated ALL water and plant
measurements.
c, For Task 3 and Task 4; Provide a digital database din Microsoft Access} Of water
quality and vegetation data collected over the 2009-2010 monitoring period to HRI.
we have provided HRI with digital data through September 2008 and will provide the
20082009 data in fall 2009.
4, BUDGET JUSTIFICATIGN
The estimated project cost for Year 9 is $75,D00. Salary support is requested for PI K. Dunton
~D.125 months}, a research associate ~S. Schonberg for 3 months}, and apart-time technician ~K,
Jackson, 9 mos}. Travel funds ~$2DD} are requested to attend local meetings and workshops
Corpus Christi area} related to this project. we have budgeted $300 for the purchase of material
and supplies directly associated with field and laboratory work. This includes filters, flasks,
cores, chemicals, batteries, protective weather and safety gear, charts, storage bags, renewal of
software licenses, maintenance and repair costs for field instruments, etc. Dther requested
supplies are clearly denoted on the budget page. Analytical costs x$4,000} associated with
sample analysis nutrients and chlorophyll} are also included. A total of $3,DOD is budgeted for
small boat fees X12 trips @ $2001trip} and vehicles X12 monthly trips ~a $50 trip}. These fees
reflect the most recent charges for UTMSI vessels and increased fuel costs.
