The District,with support from the City, is actively studying aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) for cost-effective long term regional water supply. The District developed a 5-year plan in 2009 which outlined near-term activities to evaluate ASR feasibility, and has committed$325,000 in Fiscal Year 2016 to evaluate ASR feasibility and intends to appropriate additional funding of at least$200,000 in FY 2017. The TWDB conducted a geologic characterization of the District and surrounding counties in 2012. In August 2015,the District began further investigation of ASR at three specific areas near potential ASR recharge sources(Figure I). Permeable sand dominant intervals were interpreted from geophysical logs obtained from the TWDB BRACS database and BEG log library. The TWDB's geologic interpretation for the O.N.Stevens WTP area(2012)was verified,and results were referenced in the District's analysis.

RESEARCH PROJECT INFORMATION Explanation of wiry this project is needed(trot to exceed I page). The District is located in a drought-prone region and where significant water use growth is projected. The City of Corpus Christi,sponsor of the District, provides water to over 400,000 people and numerous industries in the Coastal Bend Region. Nearly 70%of the water needed in the 11-county Coastal Bend Region is provided by the City's regional water supply system. Regional water demands are expected to grow by 83%, from 187,000 ac-ft/yr(167 mgd) in 2010 to over 343,000 ac-ft/yr(306 mgd) in 2070. Industrial water use currently comprises 30-40%of the total regional water use,and is expected to grow to nearly 50%of the overall total regional water use or 161,807 ac-ft/yr(144 mgd) by 2070. Many of the industrial processes require reliable,uninterrupted water supplies and insufficient delivery of water supplies can shut-down critical processes and have a significant economic impact to the region. Aquifer storage and recovery(ASR) is a long-term water supply strategy that can be effectively integrated into the City's regional water supply system to achieve long-range water planning goals. Determining the feasibility of ASR is important to the District and the City for the following reasons: • • ASR promotes diversification of regional water supplies The City's existing system relies solely on surface water supplies from the Nueces, Lavaca-Navidad,and Colorado River Basins. ASR can be used conjunctively to minimize evaporative losses and to protect against impacts of future droughts. • ASR helps provide cost-effective regional water supplies to meet competing demands.--The proposed location for ASR feasibility is near the City's WTP, WWTP, and a proposed 36"treated water pipeline that will deliver supplies to industries located along the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. ■ ASR improves system operations and reduces annual operating costs - Several industrial processes have seasonal production periods that cause variability (and peaks) in water usage. ASR can provide additional water from storage when needed and reduce peaking on water system operations.

Overview The project study area is based on areas within the District with interpreted permeable zones comprised of sand or mostly sand spanning a few hundred feet within the lower Chicot and/or upper Evangeline Aquifers, in either continuous unit or at multiple intervals showing at least a hundred feet of sand thickness in each. Based on summarized permeability and water quality data in the District area (Meyer, 2012),the potential depth interval for treated water storage is between 300 and 1,000 feet (depending on location)which encompasses the Chicot aquifer and upper units of the Evangeline aquifer. However,based on reported transmissivities,depths ranging from 600 to 1,000 feet are preferred. HydrogeoIogical and geochemical testing and modeling is needed to determine the optimal intervals within these formations. Below approximately 1,000 feet, groundwater salinity increases substantially (Meyer, 2012),and the potential for recharge waters to mix with higher salinity water becomes greater, which would decrease the recovery efficiency of the ASR system. Detailed Scope of Work 1. Conduct an Exploratory Test Drilling Fragrant Approach and Methodolow The test drilling program will include drilling up to 3 exploratory boreholes completed to a depth of 1,200 feet to assess the geology,hydrogeology, water quality,and geochemistry. The test drilling program will be used to assess potential storage zones for treated water and also confining intervals that will limit vertical movement of water from the storage zone. The specific goals for the test drilling program are to collect hydrogeological and geochemical parameters that can be used to characterize a potential ASR system at the selected sites. The following information will be collected while test drilling to provide the information needed to assess the feasibility TWDB ContraSt No 1600011956 Exhibit A.Page 8 of51 Texas Water Development Board Request for Applications for Demonstration Projects for Alternative Water Supplies of an ASR well system within the selected areas. The parameters collected will be used for future ASR well permitting, if the test drilling provides evidence of a successful ASR well storage zone. The borehole(s)will be designed to either be completed as a monitor well for later use with the ASR system or plugged and abandoned with cement grout. 1.1 Confirm location,depth,and number of test boreholes. *Note: Proposal estimates 3. 1.2 Prepare design and specifications for test drilling program. 1.3 Drill boreholes using air rotary or rotosonic drilling technique, with intent to perform interval testing. Drilling will not be conducted with drilling mud, so that representative water samples can be collected at discrete intervals. 1.4 Collect and classify lithology at discrete depth intervals(30 to 45 feet)or perceived formation changes to characterize permeable sand zones and impermeable clay intervals. Sieve analysis of collected lithology samples will be used to determine grain size to use as a qualitative measurement of permeability. 1.5 Collect rock core samples while drilling from permeable and confining areas of the borehole to be used for hydraulic testing and geochemical analysis. The hydraulic testing is used to determine hydraulic conductivity and porosity of the storage and confining zones. These properties can be used to aid in the determination of the storage zones permeability, ability to store water and the potential of lateral movement of stored water. Geochemical analysis of rock cores will determine if the mineralogy of the formation will react with injected water to potentially cause mobilization of metals that may cause water quality exceedances, scaling and/or precipitation that may result in the loss of well productivity. Laboratory measure- ments on each core for modeling purposes include,photograph, grain-size, x-ray diffraction (mineralogy), x-ray fluorescence(chemistry),cation exchange capacity with individual TWDB Contract Np. 1600011956 Exhibit A,Page 9 of 51 Texas Water Development Board Request for Applications for Demonstration Projects for Alternative Water Supplies exchangeable cation concentrations,thin section petrology, scanning electron microscopy photomicrographs and acid insoluble residue analysis. 1.6 During drilling,water quality samples and specific capacity testing will be conducted at approxi- mately 50-foot intervals beginning in the lower Chicot to determine the salinity and relative specific capacity of the encountered formations as the borehole is advanced. Periodically,the following field measurements will be obtained: temperature, conductivity, pH,oxidation reduction potential (closed cell),dissolved oxygen and turbidity. Samples will be collected for laboratory analysis of regulated organic, inorganic and radionuclide constituents and may also include: silica,aluminum, both dissolved and total iron and manganese,calcium, magnesium,sodium,potassium,total alkalinity,sulfate,chloride, fluoride, nitrate, ammonia,total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total phosphorus, phosphate, total organic carbon,total dissolved solids, total suspended solids,specific conductance and pH. Density measurements will be obtained on native groundwater with conductivities exceeding 5,000 microsiemens per centimeter. 1.7 Geophysical logging(including,but not limited to caliper, gamma,spontaneous potential, resistivity,sonic, flowmeter) will be completed within the borehole to aid in the characterization of permeable zones, confining zones and salinity. 1.8 Packer tests will be conducted while drilling to isolate discrete intervals of the borehole for hydraulic conductivity testing. The isolated borehole intervals will be pumped at a constant or stepped rate(s),while collected continuous water levels to calculate the hydraulic conductivity of the isolated borehole interval. At the end of the pumping phase of each packer test,a water quality sample will be collected for laboratory analysis(full suite of chemical constituents, including radionuclides from potential sand units). Water quality analysis of potential ASR zones will be used to assess mixing and potential for chemical reactions of stored and ambient water. 1.9 A brief technical memorandum will be completed to summarize the exploratory drilling program. TWDB Contrr$t No 1600011956 Exhibit A.Page 10 of 51 Texas Water Development Board Request for Applications for Demonstration Projects for Alternative Water Supplies Well Development and Completion lithe test borehole is completed as a monitor well for the ASR system,the screened zone will be fully developed to yield water quality samples representative of ambient groundwater. Well development will follow ASTM D5521 (Standard Guide for Development of Groundwater Monitoring Wells in Granular Aquifers),and include pump and/or airlifting water from the completed well until selected water quality parameters are stable(within 5%),sand production is negligible and turbidity is below 50 NTUs. 2. Perform Geochemical Analysis Approach and Methodology Geochemical analysis is an important step in evaluating ASR feasibility. Its purpose is to determine the compatibility of treated, source water for storing within the native aquifer setting. First,the intro- duction of recharge water that is of a different quality than the native groundwater can result in reactions that lead to clogging of the near-well pore space. Clogging will result in increased pressures and reduced recharge capacity for the well. Second,recharge water can react with the soil media to mobilize undesirable constituents, increasing their concentration in the water when it is recovered. Geochemical modeling can be used to help determine whether either of these situations is likely to occur,and what operational approaches,water treatment,and/or aquifer conditioning might be necessary. A pH and/or slight change in the recharge water chemistry at the well head is sometimes necessary to stabilize the aquifer matrix or promote the retention of trace metals, metalloids and other deleterious constituents in the aquifer. See further discussion in"Mobilization of Constituents of Concern" at this end of this section. 2.1 Collect and analyze water quality samples from Stevens WTP,Greenwood WWTP, other potential recharge water sources. Utilize water quality data collected for native rock cores and groundwater during Tasks 1.5 and 1.6. Laboratory testing will be performed on potential source waters for regulated organic, inorganic and radionuclide constituents,at a minimum. Additional laboratory analyses for modeling purposes include: silica,aluminum,both dissolved and total iron and TWDB Contract 1•. 1600011956 Exhibit A,Page 11 of 51 Texas Water Development Board Request for Applications for Demonstration Projects for Alternative Water Supplies manganese,calcium,magnesium, sodium,potassium, total alkalinity, sulfate, chloride, fluoride, nitrate,ammonia,total Kjeldahl nitrogen,total phosphorus, phosphate,total organic carbon,total dissolved solids,total suspended solids,specific conductance and pH. It may be necessary to add selected organic (particularly disinfection by products)and perhaps inorganic and radionuclide constituents as a result of the regulated chemical constituent analyses. These additional constituents will be included as appropriate in the modeling. 2.2 Perform geochemical modeling of representative treated water from both the WTP and WWTP, other potential injection water sources, native groundwater from individual developed ASR wells and mixtures of source and native groundwater using The Geochemical Workbench thermodynamic modeling software. Results of the compatibility modeling will be used to determine their compati- bility with the aquifer mineralogy and physiochemical matrix of individual ASR wells. Aquifer characteristics and field and laboratory measurements from the exploratory testing program (Task 1.5&Task 1.6)will be included in the geochemical modeling. Clay mineralogy and CEC cation chemistry will be particularly important to this project because of chemical and total dissolved solids differences in the source and native groundwater. 2.3 A final test report on the laboratory results and geochemical analysis will be provided in a brief technical memorandum. Mobilization of Constituents of Concern A potential concern with ASR operations is the mobilization of arsenic in groundwater in response to changes in aquifer geochemistry caused by the introduction of the recharge water. Changes in ground- water chemistry can affect the solubility of compounds that naturally occur,but are stabilized in aquifer formations,such as pyrite that may contain arsenic and iron oxides that can retain arsenic. For a situation where the injected water reduces the oxidation/reduction potential of the groundwater system,the poten- tial exists for iron oxides to release arsenic into the groundwater as a result of a decrease in the strength of TW DB Contrt()No. 1600011956 Exhibit A.Page 12()I'S! Texas Water Development Board Request for Applications for Demonstration Projects for Alternative Water Supplies geochemical bonds between arsenic and iron oxides. For a situation where the injected water increases the oxidation/reduction potential of the groundwater system, the potential exists for some of the arsenic contained in pyrite to be released into the groundwater because of the increased solubility of pyrite. The potential for this mobilization to occur will be assessed based on case-studies of ASR sites in Florida,where increases in arsenic concentrations in groundwater have occurred after the addition of recharge water. Based on dissolved oxygen concentration and pH measured during Subtask 1.6,the average oxidative reduction potential will be estimated and compared to ASR sites where mobilization of arsenic in groundwater has occurred. It is important to note that the same Florida studies have provided a knowledge base for successfully managing arsenic concentrations,when mobilization occurs. 3. Develop a Field Scale Groundwater Model to Simulate Storage and Recovery Operations Approach and Methodology For a field scale model,the primary components focus on aquifer structure, hydraulic properties, water levels,and water quality. The characterization of these components will be obtained during the test drilling program(Task 1). Aquifer structure refers to the depths and thicknesses of the sand and clay beds at the site. Multiple sand beds,separated vertically by less permeable clays and shales, may be identified as target storage zones,and will be modeled accordingly. Each sand unit will be assigned an estimated horizontal hydraulic conductivity based on field-collected data during the test drilling program and published literature. If multilevel monitoring is available from aquifer testing, some estimates of vertical conductance can be made from data collected by the test drilling program. Water levels are used to establish a local gradient, which determines the potential for lateral "drift",or movement of recharged water downgradient away from the recharge well and vertically to shallower or deeper formations. Starting water levels will determine how much rise is available; that is,how much injection pressure can be sustained at the wellhead without near-well water levels rising above ground surface,which is an undesirable condition. TWDI3 Contract 114. 1600011956 Exhibit A.Page 13 of 51 Texas Water Development Board Request for Applications for Demonstration Projects for Alternative Water Supplies Groundwater quality of the native groundwater can affect the recovery efficiency, i.e.what fraction of recovered water can be native groundwater while maintaining a quality that is suitable for the distribution system. If the native groundwater is brackish or saline,the difference in density between the recharge water and the native groundwater may affect recovery efficiency, since at the leading edges of the recharge water"bubble",the denser native groundwater will tend to migrate in below the recharge water and create mixing during recovery. Since Nueces Bay and Estuary are estimated to be at least 5 miles away from the ASR study site,they are not expected to affect ASR operations. A numerical model will be constructed using one of (z)Si<<1 the MODFLOW family of groundwater codes, along FORCED CONVECTIVE REGIME with a transport code such as MT3DMS. For native groundwater at brackish or saline quality,we will Ib)M2i assess the likelihood of density effects being important MIXED CONVECTIVE REGIME to transport, based on the mixed convection ratio,as 1 w .. described in Ward and others (2007),and illustrated in mti f Figure 2: When the mixed convection ratio is much less than Figure 2. Additional equations or relationships may be one(a), density effects are small,while values near or greater than one(b)may indicate density effects are significant used if deemed more appropriate. If density effects are found to be potentially important, then SEAWAT will be used to consider density effects during transport. At a minimum,the numerical model will be vertically discretized such that the target storage zones are each represented by a layer, with any intervening confining zones also represented by a model layer. If density effects are to be considered, the layers representing the injection zones will need to be further discretized,so that mixing effects due to density on the leading edge of the recharge water can be calculated. Grid spacing will be identified to achieve project goals while considering both the grid Peclet and Courant numbers when discretizing the grid horizontally and vertically, so as to minimize the effects of numerical dispersion or stability issues. TWDB Contra No. 1600011956 Exhibit A,Page 14 of 51 Texas Water Development Board Request for Applications for Demonstration Projects for Alternative Water Supplies Once the numerical model is constructed,predictive transient simulations will be performed that reflect the operational conditions consistent with DISTRICT goals for the ASR system. The simulations will provide insight into both the hydraulics(increase in head and drawdown at the ASR well under recharge and recovery),and the recovery efficiency of the recharge water under the proposed operating scenarios. 3.1 Select grid and layering of model based on data from test drilling program and previous studies. 3.2 Construct a local, field scale model and assign aquifer model parameters. 3.3 Identify ASR operational scenarios for modeling, to include recharge,production schedule,and rates in accordance with District goals. 3.4 Perform simulations of up to 4 scenarios to evaluate the aquifer response of recharge and recovery for different schedules and rates, including likelihood of stratification within storage and movement during injection/idle/recovery periods. These simulations would span seasonal operations(recharge in the winter and recovery in the summer)and long-term water banking. 3.5 Evaluate impact of native brackish groundwater on ASR recovery. 3.6 Summarize modeling assumptions, results, and operational considerations in a brief technical memorandum. 4. Evaluate ASR Operating Policy Considerations 4.1 Using results from Tasks 1-3, identify considerations for ASR operating policy to mitigate risk and uncertainty. Such items will include but not be limited to TCEQ regulations, water quality standards, subsidence, and supply protection measures. S.

Mydrogeologist.The Texas General Land Office(GLO)is the owner of property in Comal County,TX.In order for development to occur on the property,a reliable water supply must be established.One possible supply option is brackish groundwater combined with a desalination facility.Performed hydrogeologic analyses to support a preliminary feasibility study for this option.Determined the probable brackish water production rate,the water quality of this raw source,and the feasibility of disposing of the saline waste stream through a deep injection well.Provided initial cost estimates for construction and operation of the production and disposal wells.Findings were reported to GLO staff in the form of a technical memo. Recalibration of the Dominguez Gap Barrier Model,Water Replenishment District(WRD)of Southern California,CA.2011.Lead Modeler. Performed a recalibration of the Dominguez Gap Barrier MODFLOW model for the WRD of Southern California. The Dominguez Gap injection barrier is a set of injection wells that helps protect aquifers in Los Angeles County from seawater intrusion.The WRD is responsible for providing the injection water for these barriers.Some fraction of the injected water is highly treated recycled wastewater,which for permitting purposes requires annual proof of compliance with several performance criteria.One of the criteria is estimating the fate and transport of the recycled water movement through the aquifers.The existing MODFLOW model had not been recalibrated since its initial conversion from a proprietary code in 2004.Updated the head target dataset to 2010 and reconstructed the monthly time-varying constant- head conditions based on monitoring well data.Overall,mean error was decreased by approximately three feet,and root mean square error/range was decreased by 6%. miNINTERA GEOSCIENCE & ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS 1111.111.11.

His experience and responsibilities involve planning,developing, interpreting,reporting and reviewing geochemical investigations in aquifer recharge recovery(ASR)and water supply. His 50 plus publications and uncounted presentations deal with geochemistry, hydrology,geology, field geochemical techniques,and remote sensing. Most of his experience has been in the United States but aquifer recharge recovery and geochemical evaluations extend worldwide. He has made numerous presentations specifically on the application of geochemistry to ASR projects. He authored Chapter 5 on geochemistry in both editions of Aquifer Storage and Recovery authored by R. David Pyne,2006, ASR Press, Gainesville, FL. Lead Geochemist, Worldwide Aquifer Recharge Studies. Developed an initial screening analysis for judging geochemical reaction potential between recharge water and both native groundwater and aquifer mineralogy at numerous recharge sites across the U.S.and worldwide (compatibility issues). See attached project experience. Selected project areas include: San Antonio,TX; Kerrville,TX; Pasadena,CA; Myrtle Beach, SC;to name a few. Recharge project experience include both well recharge and surface spreading. The procedure is a fatal flaw analysis coupling interpretation of existing physical,chemical, mineralogical and biological data for the site or area. Based on the results of this analysis,specific tests are designed to address potential problems,such as plugging,damage to the aquifer adjacent to the wells which could result in failure of the recharge project and evaluating the potential changes in the recovered water chemistry. Over 100 municipal wells have been and continue to be successfully recharged as a result of these studies and have become a functioning part of their respective potable well supply system. Lead Geochemist, Worldwide Aquifer Conditioning Procedures. He continues to develop site- specific geochemical procedures that utilize aquifer recharge to chemically adjust the aquifer mineralogy to eliminate or control excessive concentrations of iron, manganese,arsenic, uranium and other elements plus odors and turbidity. Control of dissolved iron has been the most frequent problem and all successfully resolved in municipal wells worldwide. Several projects are currently testing geochemical procedures for manganese and arsenic. He was recently involved in the developing an understanding of arsenic mobility,methods of predicting excessive arsenic concen- trations and methods of controlling arsenic mobility in Florida and Idaho ASR areas. Most recently, he documented the subsurface sources of nitrogen and chromium introduced into infiltrating water using spreading ponds for ASR.

TWDI3 Contract No, 1600011956 Exhibit C.Page 1 of 1 EXHIBIT D GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS SUBMITTING CONTRACT REPORTS TO THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD 1.0 Introduction The purpose of this document is to describe the required format of contract reports submitted to the Texas Water Development Board(TWDB). Our reason for standardizing the format of contract reports is to provide our customers a consistent,and therefore familiar, format for contract reports(which we post online for public access). Another reason for standardizing the format is so that we can more easily turn a contract report into a TWDB numbered report if we so choose. Remember that your report will not only be seen by TWDB staff, but also by any person interested in the results of your study. A professional and high quality report will reflect well on you,your employer,and the TWDB. Available upon request, we will provide a Microsoft Word template (used to write these instructions)that gives the fonts, spacing,and other specifications for the headings and text of the report. Please follow this template as closely as possible. 2.0 Formatting your report The TWDB format is designed for simplicity. For example, we use Times New Roman for all text. We use 12 point, single-spaced text, left justification for paragraph text, 18 point bold for first-level headings, and 14 point bold for second-level headings. Page numbers are centered at the bottom of the page. Other than page numbers, please refrain from adding content to the document header or footer. Page setup should use one-inch margins on all four sides. 2.1 Text The best way to format your document is to use the styles described and embedded in the template document(Authors_Template.dot)that is available on request from the TWDB. To use the Authors_Template.dot file, open it in Word (make sure *.dot is listed under Files of type)and save it as a .doc file. Advanced users can add the .dot file to their computers as a template. Make sure the formatting bar is on the desktop(to open, go to View3Toolbars-*Formatting)or, to view all of the formatting at once,go to Format-)Styles and Formatting and select Available Styles from the dropdown box at the bottom of the window. The formatting in the template document provides styles (such as font type, spacing,and indents)for each piece of your report. Each style is named to describe what it should be used for(for example,style names include Chapter Title, Body Text, Heading 1. References,and Figure or Table Caption). As you add to your report, use the dropdown list on the Formatting Toolbar or the list in the Styles and Formatting window to adjust the text to the correct style. The Authors_Template.dot file shows and lists the specifications for each style. 2.1.1 Title Give your report a title that gives the reader an idea of the topic of your report but is not terribly long. In addition to the general subject(for example,"Droughts"), you may include a few additional words to describe a place,methodology,or other detail focused on throughout the paper(for example,"Droughts in TWDB Contract No. 160001 1956 Exhibit D,Page I of 8 the High Plains of Texas"or"Evaluating the effects of drought using groundwater flow modeling"). Please capitalize only the first letter of each word except `minor' words such as `and' and 'of'.Never use all caps. Use headings to help the reader follow you through the main sections of your report and to make it easier for readers to skim through your report to find sections that might be the most interesting or useful to them. The text of the report should include an executive summary and sections outlined in 4.4 of Attachment 1. Headings for up to five levels of subdivision are provided in the template; however, we suggest not using more than three or four levels of subdivision except where absolutely necessary. Please avoid stacked headings (for example,a Heading I followed immediately by a Heading 2),and capitalize only the first letter of headings or words where appropriate—never use all caps. 2.2 Figures and photographs To publish professional-looking graphics,we need all originals to be saved at 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) and in grayscale, if possible, or in the CMYK color format if color is necessary. Excessive use of color, especially color graphics that do not also work in grayscale,will prevent us from publishing your report as a TWDB numbered report(color reproduction costs can be prohibitive). Preferred file formats for your original graphics are Adobe Illustrator(.ai), Photoshop(.psd), EPS with .tiff preview, jpg, .png, or .tiff files. Refrain from using low resolution jpg or .gif files. Internet images at 72 dpi are unacceptable for use in reports. All graphics shall be submitted in two forms: 1. Inserted into the Microsoft Word document before you submit your report. Ideally, inserted graphics should be centered on the page. Format the picture to downsize to 6 inches wide if necessary. Please do not upsize a graphic in Word. 2. Saved in one of the formats listed above. 2.2.1 Other graphics specifications It is easiest to design your figures separately and add them in after the text of your report is more or less complete. Graphics should remain within the I-inch page margins of the template(6.5 inches maximum graphic width). Be sure that the graphics (as well as tables)are numbered in the same order that they are mentioned in the text. Figures should appear embedded in the report after being called out in the text. Also, remember to include a caption kr each graphic in Word, not as part of the graphic. We are not able to edit or format figure captions that are part of the figure. For figures and photographs, the caption should appear below the graphic. For tables, the caption should appear above. 2.2.2 Creating publication-quality graphics When designing a graphic, make sure that the graphic (1)emphasizes the important information and does not show unnecessary data, lines,or labels; (2) includes the needed support material for the reader to understand what you are showing;and(3) is readable(see Figures I and 2 for examples). Edward R. Tufte's books on presenting information (Tufte, 1983; 1990; 1997) are great references on good graphic design. Figures I through 3 are examples of properly formatted,easy to understand graphics. Do not include fonts that are less than 6 points. For good-looking graphics,the resolution needs to be high enough to provide a clear image at the size you TWDB Contract No. 1600011956 Exhibit D,Page 2 of 8 make them within the report. In general,300 dpi will make a clear image-200 dpi is a minimum. Try to create your figures at the same size they will be in the report,as resizing them in Word greatly reduces image quality. Photographs taken with at least a two-megapixel camera (if using digital)and with good contrast will make the best images. Save the original, and then adjust color levels and size in a renamed image copy. Print a draft copy of your report to double-check that your figures and photographs have clear lines and show all the features that you want them to have. Figures and photographs should be in grayscale. Color greatly adds to the cost of printing, so we are trying to keep it to a minimum. Also remember that your report may be photocopied,scanned, or downloaded and printed in black and white. For this reason,you should use symbols or patterns,or make sure that colors print as different shades in black and white. All interval or ratio data(data measuring continuous phenomena, with each color representing an equal interval)need to be displayed in a graded scale of a single color(Figure 3). This way your figures will be useful even as a photocopy. If you need help with your graphics or have questions, please contact the TWDB graphics department at (512)936-0129. 2.2.3 Using other people's graphics Figures and photographs(and tables) need to be your own unless you have written permission from the publisher that allows us to reprint them (we will need a copy of this permission for our records). Avoid using any figures or photographs taken off the Internet or from newspapers or magazines—these sources are difficult to cite, and it is often time-consuming and expensive to gain permission to reproduce them. 2.3 Tables Tables should be created in Microsoft Word (see Table 1). Tables should include a minimal amount of outlining or bold font to emphasize headings,totals,or other important points. Tables should be numbered separately from figures,and captions should appear above the text of the table. Table 1: A sample table. Note caption above table. Table text heading* Table text 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 %GW Table text 15 441 340 926 196 522 83 97.4 Table text 64 944 626 173 356 171 516 99.9 Total 79 1385 966 1099 552 693 599 * A footnote should look like this using 10 point Times New Roman. %GW=percent groundwater Be sure to describe any abbreviations or symbols, and, unlike in this table,be sure to note the units! 3.0 Units Measurements should be in English units. Metric units may be included in parentheses after the English units. TWDB Contract No. 1600011956 Exhibit D.Page 3 of 8 All units of geologic time should conform to the most recent geologic timescale(Gradstein and others, 2004). A summary of this timescale is available from the International Commission on Stratigraphy's website at http://stratigraphy.org/chus.pdf. 4.0 Citations and references It is important to give credit where credit is due. Therefore, be sure to use the appropriate citations and include references in your paper. 4.1 In-text citations Each piece of information you use in your report that comes from an outside source must be cited within the text using the author's last name and the year of publication. If there are two authors, list the last name of each followed by the year, and if there are more than two authors, list the last name of the first author followed by"and others"and the year. For example: the end of the Jurassic Period occurred approximately 145.5 million years ago(Gradstein and others, 2004). 4.2 References All sources that are cited within the report should be listed at the end of the paper under the heading References. The references should follow the guidelines in "Suggestions to Authors of the Reports of the United States Geological Survey"(Hansen, 1991). These are available online at http://www.nwrc.usgs.gov/Iib/lib_sta.html (a link to the chapter"Preparing references for Survey reports,"p. 234-241, is found here). Several examples of complete reference citations are listed at the end of these guidelines. Be sure that any citations that appear in tables or figures are included in the reference list. Also,before submitting the report,please check that all the citations in the report are included in the reference list and all references in the reference list are cited in the report. If at all possible,avoid web-based citations. These materials are often transient and therefore useless to future readers. 5.0 Submitting your report Before you submit your report, proofread it. Look for spelling and grammatical errors. Also,check to see that you have structured the headings,paragraphs,and sentences in your paper so that it is easy to follow and understand(imagine you are a reader who does not already know the information you are presenting!). 6.0 Conclusions Following the instructions above and providing accurate and readable text,tables, figures,and citations will help to make your report useful to readers. Scientists may read your report, as well as water planners, utility providers, and interested citizens. If your report successfully conveys accurate scientific information and explanations to these readers, we can help to create more informed decisions about the use,development,and management of water in the state. 7.0 Acknowledgments Be sure to acknowledge the people and entities that assisted you in your study and report. For example: We would like to thank the Keck Geology Consortium, the American Society of Civil Engineers,and the Texas Bar CLE for providing examples to use in developing these guidelines. In addition,we appreciate Mike Parcher for providing information on how to create publication-quality graphics, Shirley Wade for creating the data used in sample Figure 1,and Ian Jones for providing sample Figure 3.
