NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT:
Final Recreational Use-Attainability Analysis Report for Ash Creek (0809B), Dosier Creek (0809C), and Derrett Creek (0809D) in the Trinity River Basin
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has made available for public comment the Recreational Use-Attainability Analysis final report for Ash Creek (0809B) within Tarrant and Parker Counties, Dosier Creek (0809C) within Tarrant County, and Derrett Creek (0809D) within Wise County in the Trinity River Basin.
A use-attainability analysis (UAA) evaluates designated or presumed uses if there is reason to believe the standards for a water body are inappropriate due to local conditions. A Recreational Use-Attainability Analysis (RUAA) is a specific type of UAA that is conducted to evaluate and determine what category of recreational use is appropriate for a particular water body. RUAAs are typically site-specific studies that assess reasonably attainable recreational uses based on the physical and flow characteristics of a stream—such as water depth and persistence of flow. Supporting information, including surveys of individuals and organizations with firsthand knowledge of a water body, is also collected to assess historical and existing patterns of recreational use.
If you would like to comment on the final report or have information on current or past recreation activities occurring on the water bodies, comments will be accepted until November 23, 2025. Please reference RUAA report and the creek name with submitted comments. TCEQ will not issue a formal response to comments at this stage.
The reports are located on the TCEQ website at: https://www.tceq.texas.gov/waterquality/standards/ruaas
Comments can be submitted via email to Bonnie Evans at: Standards@tceq.texas.gov
or mailed to: Bonnie Evans, Water Quality Standards Program, MC-234, Water Quality Planning Division, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin TX 78711-3087
TCEQ will take into consideration comments received on the final report and release a draft recommendation, which will be followed by another public comment period.
