[00:35:08]

DISTRICT OUR STORY BEGUN LAST SPRING WE SAW THAT THE SPILLING WATER TO OUR AREA WE'RE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVE TO SUPPORT THE WATER IN THE COUNTY. AND WHAT WE SAW WAS AN EFFORT TO BRING ON THE FOUNDATION AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE SAW THAT GIVEN TO ALSO LACK

THAT SUPPORT AS THAT THAT MOVE FORWARD. >> ONE OF THE IDEAS TO USE ALTERNATIVE OUR GROUNDWATER HERE IS NOT EVER BEEN AS A LEVEL RIGHT NOW. IT IS BROUGHT UP A BIG CONCERN WITH US AND ASPIRED TO BE A TEMPORARY MEASURE TO ASK THE TIME IT TOOK

TO BUILD THIS AND ENDED UP MORE PRIMARY SOURCE. >> SO I'D LIKE TO GO OVER A FEW THINGS TODAY M. (NUECES COUNTY LOST INTERNET CONNECTION) WE HAVE OVER COME ON BODES WITH THAT SAID, JC DS ARE UNDER THE OVERSIGHT OF TEXAS CHAPTER THREE 6 AND THE REASON WHY THE CHAPTER THAT THERE A STOMACH TO PROTECT THE PROPERTIES RIGHTS NEXT.

>> THE LEGAL FOUNDATION FOR THE CHAPTER IS ROUGHLY CREATED IN WASHINGTON, D.C. FOR THE GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT. AND WHEN WE BEGAN LOOKING AT CREATING THE JC D WE REALIZED THAT EVERY COUNTY HAS A JC D WE'RE THE ONLY COUNTY IN THE WHITE AREA WITHOUT REPRESENTATION SO WHY THE ELON MUSK INTERESTED TO REGULATE HOW MUCH WATER AND THE LANDLORD CAN FIX THE WATER OF IT IS SELLING WELL. SO I KNOW JOHN IS WITH S B W A-1 OF THEIR PARTNERS IS 17 AND Q T A SWEDISH PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENT AND THE SAME REASON THE WATER IS THERE FOR

THE TAC. >> SO WITH JC D AGAIN FOR THE METHOD OF GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT THE DISTRICTS MANAGE PRESERVATION AND OPERATOR UNDER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND WHAT A MAGIC IS THE MODEL AND SO WHAT THE JC D DOES IT SAY A PLANET BASED TO ALLOW FOR PRODUCTION OR NO PRODUCTION AND UNBIASED GROUP THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS EFFECTED FROM THE BALLOT BOX AN APPOINTED POSITION AND HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN.

>> TRANSITIONING. >> WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW IF WE CAN BE THE

[00:40:06]

ADMINISTRATIVELY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT A PUBLIC HEARING IN THE COUNTY FOR AFTER THAT J.T. CAN GRANT OREGON COMMITTEE IN THE APPLICATION AND SET UP THE ISSUE HOW THINGS ARE OPERATE AND THEN IN NOVEMBER, HOPEFULLY BE ON THE BALLOT AND THE CITIZENS GET TO VOTE FOR THE

CONFIRMATION OF JC D. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES.) >> AND THANK YOU ROTATE FOR THE BOARD AND THEN HOW THIS IS FUNDED HOW SO UNFUNDING 3 DIFFERENT WAYS CAN BE PRODUCTION, COSTS THEY CHARGE A CUSTOMER A HIGH VOLUME CUSTOMER OR B CAN BE WHAT A THE TAX OR

THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO. >> ALL THAT IS DONE BY THE COUNTY MOVING FORWARD.

>> AND ONE MORE QUESTION SORRY. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE.

>> (MULTIPLE VOICES.) >> AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THAT'S WHY I HAD YOU COME ON I KNOW A CONVERSATIONS IS GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AND IF THIS IS DONE AND IN THE VOTERS APPROVE THIS, WILL THAT EVERYONE OR ONLY A CERTAIN LEVEL OR HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE TO PUMP AND WOULD THAT AUTOMATICALLY GIVE - WITHOUT THE CITY LIMITS.

- >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> WHAT THERE IS AN EXEMPT AND NON-EXEMPT WELLS. MOST OF THAT A. -

>> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> THE NON- EXEMPT IS BY THE JC D C FOR $20,000 BUT REALLY IT IS CONCERNED WITH THE VOLUME OF USERS. AND JC D DON'T COME ON THE PROPERTY DON'T PUT ON A METER AND THAT IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS WE HAVE PREJUDICIALLY 75 MILLION GALLONS A DAY THAT IS WHAT IS SUPPORTED TO SUPPORT SUPPOSED TO - FOR THE NORTH BRUSH COUNTRY IN THE WEST AND SOUTH OF US IN THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI HAS HR THAT RECOLLECTS GROUNDWATER ONE WITHIN THAT AND OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS NO PROTECTION BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE MAPS WE HAVE THEY USE AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS GREAT DETAIL AND OUTLINED WHERE IT WILL BE AND IN THE TERRITORY WILL MAKE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR THE JC D C TEXAS ON

AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. >> SO IT IS IMPORTANT. NEXT FRONT WATER NOISE IN THE COUNTY. SO A LOT OF SMART WATER PEOPLE COME TOGETHER NOT JUST LOCALLY BUT ON A REGIONAL LEVEL AND COME UP WITH A 50-YEAR PLAN. IT IS ABOUT THE PLANNED AT THAT TIME BUT 800 METERS LONG IN DETAIL AND CURRENTLY SEPTEMBER 11TH THE LAND ADOPTED A MAP OR 6,000 ACRES PLUS NOT MUCH WATER AND IN COMPARISON - OR PER YEAR. THE REASON WHY OUR GEOLOGY IS VERY DIFFERENT IN THE NUECES COUNTY WE HAVE THAT MAINLY DIDN'T GET TO RECHARGE NATURALLY ACTIONS AS A BARRIER BUT WHERE IT STAND AT MOREABLE MORE WATER TO BE PUT DOWN AND WHEREWITH HE GET MOST OF OUR RETURN IN THE NUECES COUNTY IS IN NORTHWEST COUNTY THAT AREA WHEN IT RAINS THAT'S WHERE THE

NATURAL WATER FLOWS. >> THE CURRENT MUNICIPAL ALONE EXCEED THAT AND IN THE NUECES COUNTY 11 IN THE EASTERN GOLF FIELD AND 73 AND 17 IN THE WESTERN BALL FIELD AND 15 TO 20

[00:45:05]

ON THE FOUNDATION BALL FIELD THAT IS MORE THAN 7 TIMES OVER THAT GOES OVER THE ADOPTED MAP

IN NUECES COUNTY. >> ARE THEY HAVING ANY CONVERSATIONS WORKING ON TEMPORARY USES LIKE - WE WERE TOLD THAT WOULD BE TEMPORARY TO GIVE US - ARE YOU ALL BEING ALLOWED CONVERSATIONS YOU SEE A LANGUAGE BEING PRESENT BY THEM THAT WILL BE TEMPORARY?

>> NOLO CONTENDERE TRASH AND WE DON'T MIND SHARING BUT PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE.

>> INTAEMENT. >> YES. IS CREATES A SOUTHERN AGAIN LAST SPRING WE DON'T MIND BUT CONCERNED US THEY TOOK 6 WELLS EACH PRODUCTS ONE AND A HALF MILLION FOR ONE AND A HALF ACRES. WITH THE HOUSTON AREA AND BAY TOWN AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO REMOVE PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOMES BECAUSE THE LAND DROPPED SO MUCH IN THE OUR EFFORT WE ARE ACTUALLY IN THE SAME BOAT THEY ARE. THE WAY IT WORKS WE HAVE A PLAY THIN LAYER WE REMOVE REMOVE THE WATER.

>> HARRIS COUNTY HAS OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY IF NOT, MORE APPROXIMATELY DISTRICTS THAT

ARE PULLING WATER. >> THAT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES).

>> SMALL MUNICIPAL DISTRICT ESPECIALLY UTILITIES WE HAVE A LOT OF LAND THAT ARE PULLING

THE WATER. - >> (MULTIPLE VOICES).

>> FAIR ENOUGH AND THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. >> ACTUALLY HAVE THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE HARRIS COUNTY AND SO WE RECOGNIZED THIS BUT TO YOUR POINT HURTING NEED TO BE A LOT OF GROUNDWATER AND FOUND UP TO SURFACE WATER THE REASON IN THE 70S GOT TO A POINT THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING OR HAVE A LANDFILL FROM 1957 TURNED TOWARDS THE SURFACE

WATER. NOT ENOUGH WATER TO TRY TO HAVE A HIGH VOLUME. >> A LOT OF THE ZONING

DISTRICTS BUT AGAIN GONE TO THE SURFACE WATER. >> AND THE RAIN WHY WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE OUR LAND AND HAVE SALTWATER INTRUSIONS. HAD RUNS INTO THE GROUNDWATER AND THAT

IS ALL STUFF IT IS REAL CONCERN. >> IF YOU DON'T MIND.

>> I GOT CALLS AND CONCERNS WITH THE WATER WELLS. AT ONE POINT SOMEONE SAID THEY HAD LAND NEXT TO HIM AND DRILLED AND WELL AND WITH AN HUNDRED AND 1100 FEET LIKE 3-R 4 HUNDRED. SO ONCE THOSE GO DRY ANOTHER PEOPLE'S GOES DRY WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OURS?

>> SO I THINK THAT IS A REAL CONCERN I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM BUT PEOPLE

NO MORE WATER WHAT WILL THEY DO? >> THE ANALOGY SO ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS THAT THE PURCHASES AS THE CITY'S WELL FOR EXAMPLE, EIGHT-HUNDRED FEET

ON ARCHITECTURAL AND RESIDENTIAL WELL - >> YOU, YOU SAID THE PERSON

WAS DIGGING OUTER THERE SAID THEY'RE GOING TO AREAS. >> TOTAL DEPTH IS 1,000 FEET

THAT'S ADEQUATE. >> THE SOUTHERN. >> AS YOU DRAW DOWN BRINGS

[00:50:02]

PRESSURE AND THE ANALOGY TAKE LOTS OF WATER AND YOU DON'T SEE A VORTEX STREAM. NOT EFFECTING THE OVERALL AQUA BUT IT CREATES THAT PRESSURE THAT IS THE THE HIGH VOLUME WELLS DO TO O SO

COMING DOWN CAN BE AFFECTED BY IT. >> BUT MOST RESIDENTIAL WELLS DON'T GO DOWN THAT FAR THE PROJECT I'M FAMILIAR WITH THIS IS DISCUSSION I WANT TO BE ACTIVE AND NOT ASK OTHER THAN A PRESENTATION THAT IS ONLY INFORMATIONAL. I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE RESIDENTIAL WELLS THAT GO DOWN 200 FEET. THE MAIN DEBATE IS ABOUT 1100 FEET GOING TO THE MAIN THEY'LL THIS YOU'RE TALKING TUMOR TEMPERATURE SO AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I -

>> FAIR ENOUGH. >> FAIR ENOUGH. >> SO WHAT WE LOOK AT THE FORMATION SO THE CHIEF FORMATION IS WITH AN THAT IS CLOSEST TO US AND THE LANE AND GO TO JASON JASPER AND FURTHER DOWN WITH THE INDUSTRIAL WELLS TO THAT IS ALL HYDRAULICLY CONNECTED AND WHERE IS IT CUT OFF LIKE A PLAY LAYER HERE AND THERE. THERE IS - 800 AND 1,000 FEET BUT IT IS GOING TO THAT RESOURCE. SO IN OUR RESIDENTIAL -

>> ALL RIGHT. NO DEBATE ON THAT. >> SO SUCH RESIDENTIAL.

- >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> COSTS INTO IT UNLESS THEY

ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. >> SO GOING ON SCREENING A BIG DISCUSSION. HOW THAT EFFECTS IT FROM THERE AND A BIG STRONG BEHIND IT THE CREATES THAT COMPRESSION; RIGHT? AND THE ANALOGY WITH THE GLASS OF WATER OR THE TOILET BOWL WHEN THAT FLUSHES YOU'RE SUCKING THIS AND COMES OUT WIDER. SO IN SOME OF THE MODELS WE RAN ON THE FILL BEING ONE HUNDRED AND MILLION GALLONS WITH THE HORSE POWER CAN HAVE THE COMPRESSION. AND MR. PLAY HIS WELL - STARTED

- >> CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE I'M SORRY.

>> IT HAS TO PICK UP. >> IN JULY I WAS STARTED PUMPING I'M ABOUT 15-FOOT OF THE LANE WHERE THE WELLS HAVE. AND I'M A LITTLE OFFER ONE QUARTER OF MILE FROM THIS WELL, I DROPPED 15 FEET AS OF LAST MONTH AND MY WELL IS ADDED 200 AND 80 FEET.

>> THOSE ARE RESULTS. - >> (MULTIPLE VOICES).

>> 6 MONTHS INTO THE PUMPING. >> I LOVE HOW YOU POINTED OUT IN THE BEGINNING THE NUECES COUNTY HAS NO AUTHORITY WE HAVE PEOPLE I CAN TALK TO YOU APPRECIATE YOU COMMENTING ABOUT

THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> PERSONALLY.

>> WITH THAT SAID, WE DO SO THIS STARTING TO SHOW UP 6 MONTHS INTO PUMPING AND NOW 2 OTHER COMING ONLINE AND ALMOST 4 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF PUMPING DEMAND I ON THIS IS ONE THAT SHOWS BETTER. THIS IS A 15-MILE RADIUS WHERE ALL THE CURRENT PLANS MUNICIPAL WILL, INDUSTRIAL WELLS WILL COME IF YOU START OFF WITH THE THE COUNTIES HAVE THE ANGELINE PROJECT WITH THE RIVER AND WHATEVER YOU HAVE THE PERSONNEL ACTUAL RADIUS ARE SOME WELLS PLANTED IN BETWEEN THAT AREA. SOUTH OF THE CITY. SO GOOD CAUSE IN THIS LITTLE 15-MILE

[00:55:09]

RADIUS HAVE 75 MILLION PLUS GALLONS A DAY THAT ARE BEING PUMPED.

>> AND CREATES AND BIG CONCERN OUR GEOLOGY WE CAN'T SPREAD OUT THE WATER IS IN THE COUNTY ADDRESS NEED TO GET THE BEST WATER TO PROVIDE TOO. WE ARE FOCUSED AND HOW WE - AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT ACTUALLY WORKS WITH THE NUECES COUNTY FOR SOME MIGHT AS WELL BE ONE HUNDRED MILES AWAY COUNCILMEMBER NAZARIAN- NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO THE CORPUS CHRISTI AND BUT THAT IS I DID PUT IT ON HERE IT EFFECTS THE COUNTY IN DUE TIME AND A DEN PLANT WE HEAD BACK UP AGAIN AND NEEDS WATER. WE HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH NUMBER 3 HAD TO BE TERMINATED BUT RIGHT NOW BUT THEY DID POP BACK UP. SO WITH THAT, PART OF OUR APPLICATION INCLUDES S P W A ORIGINALLY AND FOR PROFIT COMPANY THEY'RE TRYING TO SELL WATER IT BRINGS YOU WERE A BIG CONCERN THEY'RE GOING TO WANT - THEIR THAT WHOLE BUSINESS PLAN IS BASED ON GROUNDWATER AND THEY EXTRACT WATER NOT NECESSARILY WHAT WE WOULD USE AND RUN IT THROUGH A REVERSE THOSE OSMOSIS PROGRESS IN THE

FUTURE COULD BE ONE MILLION ARE THIRTY MILLION WE DON'T KNOW. >> A LITTLE BIT ON THAT THAT

IS INFORMATION. >> PUBLIC. >> SO THE MAGIC THAT WAS PENSIONS EARLIER SO THE AVAILABILITY OF THAT WATER WILL HAVE CALCULATED IN THE PLAN HOW

THAT. - >> (MULTIPLE VOICES).

>> 20 OR THIRTY PLAN THEY'RE TALKING TO THIRTY OR 80 NORTH LAST WEEK WITH THE REGIONAL

GROUP GOOD MORNING TO PLAN FOR THE NEXT 20/THIRTY CYCLE. >> 20/THIRTY CYCLE BUT THIS WATER FOR THAT IS CALCULATED AND THEY ARE FOR PROFIT BUT CREATED THE PLANT AND THE AMOUNT THAT IS COVERED IS 3 MILLION GALLONS NOT AFTER THAT. SO IT IS COUNTY COURTS AND IT IS PRODUCING ALL OR CAN POTENTIALLY PRODUCE NOT FINALIZED AT THAT POINT BUT

DISCUSSIONS. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> IN ADDITION TO GETTING

WATER HAVE TO OPERATE THIS AT PLANT. >> SO GOING TO THE FUTURE CAN

CHANGE AND A BIGGER ASK. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES.) >> AND REDUCING THE WATER THAT T D F IT IS NOT AT A GOOD QUALITY SO NOT WORRY ABOUT BY THE REGIONAL IS ACCEPTABLE MORE

OF A CONCERN TO MONITOR. >> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP JOHN.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHY - CURRENTLY WE'RE AT A RULE OF CAPTURING AND MAY 17TH HAVE EVER RIGHT. AND SO WHAT A G CD HANG ON THIS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO AND TAKING THIRTY AND THE CITY IS TAKING 43 WE'RE CRITIQUED ON THAT THAT IS IN THE PLAN AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE FUTURE, YOU KNOW, WE SIMPLY DO HAVE THE PLAN DON'T HAVE A PLAN.

>> WHEN YOU GET A JC IT IS ARRESTED ACTIVE. >> YEAH IT IS BUT THE

[01:00:03]

RESPONSIBLE WAY TO MANAGE THE WATER. >> BY THE TALK ABOUT MAGIC A LOT BUT ALONG WITH THAT GUESS ALSO THE FUTURE CONDITION. SO WHEN WE SAT DOWN TO DO THIS PLAN THE PLANNING GROUP COMES UP AND, YOU KNOW, OUR NEWEST COMMISSION IS 26-FOOT OF DRAW DOWN IN THE AQUA WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE COME ON AND HAVE A BIG PURCHASE IS A DRAW DOWN FOR A LOT MORE AND FOR EXAMPLE, SOME OF THE WELLS HAVE BEEN DRILLED WITH THE PARTICIPATE POINT DRAW

DOWN WILL BE 300 FEET SO 0 IT IS REDUCED DRAMATICALLY. >> MY QUESTION TO IN THE CITY

HAS. >> E AND I HAVE A Y CD THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW OUR PLAN OR IS

SEPARATE AND HAVE THEY'RE ON PLAN. >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

>> SO THE WAY IT WORKS OUT THERE ARE DISTRICT ARE CREATED WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE TERRITORY. AND IN THEIR LEGISLATION IN 2005 ELECTIVE THAT THE U.S. 77 BACK TO THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI THERE IS NOT A TERRITORY. FROM 5 POINTLESS ROUGHLY NOT A G CD.

>> SO THIS IS ALL UNREGULATED. AND EVEN WITH THAT BEING THAT SAID, THE A S R FOR THE WATER HAD BEEN STREAMING AND BACK TO THE CITY AQUA FOR THE FUTURE DATE HAVE OUR - WE

CAN STORE IT UNDERGROUND. >> WE HAVE TO BE WORK TOGETHER.

>> YOU HAVE TO COMMUNICATE. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> HAVE A TOTAL NUMBER OF -

WE CAN ONLY TAKE AND WORKING TOGETHER. >> WE'RE BOUND ABOUT THE

GROUP. >> THEY'RE SMARTER THAN US. >> WE WE EXTEND FROM THE GOLDEN AREA TO THE VALLEY. I #I79 THAT A WIDE REGIONAL NOT SOMEONE THAT IS PACKING THE

RULES BUT - >> YES. >> 3 THAT IMPACTS US ONE WAY

OR ANOTHER. >> YEAH. THE GROUNDWATER CONSTITUTION I KNOW A COUPLE

THAT REPRESENTS COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY. >> RIGHT.

>> AND NORTH OF US. >> REGIONAL PLANNING GROUP. >> NOT ISOLATED THIS IS WHAT THE GROUNDWATER AVAILABILITY IS AND BASED ON THAT COME UP WITH A PLAN WHAT THE WATER IS

ACTUALLY - THAT'S A REQUEST HE THAT IS ASKED OFTEN. >> FROM MEGA WEIGHS MORE TO

ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER. >> GOING BACK TO THE A S R GOING BACK TO THE LEGISLATION WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO KICK TO THE ARCHIVES IN 2005 THAT IS GREAT YOU CAN SEE VIDEO AND DURING THE TIME EVEN IN COMMITTEE HEARINGS GROUNDWATER REGULATION WAS NEVER MENTIONED BY SENATOR LUNA WAS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME AND THE CITY STAFF ITSELF THIS IS A CITY MANAGER TESTIFIED AND AGAIN, THE S R WAS ENABLED TO STORE WATER THEY CAN REGULATE THE WATER THAT

EFFECTS THEIR STORAGE. >> NORTH OF P US GIVEN RIGHTS BECAUSE THE PRESERVE RIGHT NOW IN THE AREA THOSE ARE AREAS THEY WERE - AT THAT TIME WE DIDN'T HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE ON ISLAND WE HAVE A HUGE WILDFIRE THIS IS HARD BECAUSE THE WATER WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THE OTHER

[01:05:02]

AREA BY THE AIRPORT IN THE S R REPORT AND THE STUDY FROM RESPECTED AND 2019 BUT THE STUDY HAS BEEN DONE AND IT IS THERE A GREAT RESOURCE IT IS USED IN THE STATE AND HAVE A GOOD POTENTIAL RESOURCE FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE UNDERSTAND BUT - SO THIS PROPERTY GROUNDWATER CONSTITUTION I SUGGEST YOU HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER BUT DON'T HAVE OVERSIGHT OF THE EXISTING CITY

AND I THINK (UNINTELLIGIBLE) YOU'RE SAYING HEY DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TWO RESOLUTIONS WE STARTED WORKING WITH THE CITY A LONG TIME AND I WORK WITH THE PORT AND THE CITY. WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT WATER AND JUST DO WHAT

[01:20:16]

YOU GOT TO DO THE RIGHT WAY. >> FAIR ENOUGH. >> NOT ABOUT A FIGHT I DIDN'T SEE A FIGHT HERE BUT TWO SIDES AND THE CITY WILL - AND THE SAME THING THEY'LL TELL YOU.

>> THE CITY IS OPTED THAT'S THE FIGHT THERE AND IF YOU'RE ON AT THE END OF THE DAY? CITY CAME OVER HERE AND SAID POST THIS I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL CALL THAT A DISAGREEMENT.

QUESTION HEAR WE'RE NOT GETTING - THE ASK I GOT IT. BUT TELLING US I EXPRESS A LOT OF THINGS AND SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT ON ALL THE EXEMPTS IS ILLEGAL AND THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. AND THAT WAS CHALLENGED THEY'LL LOSE IN COURT ALL DAY LONG I HAVE A BEEF WITH THEM A MORATORIUM AND IT WAS - I THOUGHT I'M GOING TO BE PART OF SOMETHING THAT IS ILLEGAL I GET

OUR FRUSTRATION. >> I DON'T CARE. >> I DON'T CARE I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THAT HOW FAR WITH THAT AND TLARSZ WILL PAT COME AND ASK US FOR

>> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> AT THAT POINT HAVE TO ACCEPT WHATEVER WE GET OFFERED.

>> I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. >> WE HAD A CITY EMPLOYEE AND COUNCIL WHEN NECESSARY HEARD BUT DID PUT A COUPLE OF CITIZENS SON THAT AND TWO, 4 OR 5 SO 3 EMPLOYEES AND THE ONLY PROBLEM HAVE TO LIVE IN THIS DISTRICT.

>> YEAH. >> I AGREE AND CAN I TAKE NOW?

>> I'VE BEEN PATIENT NOT ENTER ERUPTED. >> I HAVE A LOT TO SAY.

>> WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN THE PRECINCTS BUT I'LL TELL YOU COMMUNITIES ARE CALLING ME

[01:25:03]

ALMOST DAILY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS THEY'RE VERY CONCERNED I UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERN I HAVE RANCH AND LAKE HOUSE THE LANDOWNERS AND PEOPLE THAT LIVE OFF THE LAND THEY NEED THE WATER WELLS TO FEED THEIR CATTLE AND I HAVE PANELS TO FEED AND THAT WATER GOES AWAY WE'RE DEEP SERIOUS TROUBLE. AND AS FAR AS THE CITY PREFERRING TO BE COMPLIMENTARY I DON'T HEAR THAT ONE TAKING SIDES THEY'VE FOOT CONTACTED ANY OF US THAT I KNOW OF AND HEY, WE WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE DOING. THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT AND AND THE COMMISSIONERS IN

THE COUNTY. SO FOR EXAMPLE,. - >> (MULTIPLE VOICES).

>> HAS A POND THAT I BUILT THE BIRD-WATCH OVER WHEN I WAS HERE BEFORE. THAT POND STAYS FULL YEAR-ROUND AND THAT POND IS CONSIDERED THE HIGHEST NORTH AREA IN THE PART OF WOODS.

>> THAT WATER WITH CHRIS'S HELP IS TURNING TO SALTWATER BECAUSE WHAT THE CITY IS DOING.

ALL THESE SO-CALLED VISITS STOOD THAT AND SAID OH, YOU'RE GOING TO KILL THE ENVIRONMENT AND NOT - HAVE NOT SPOKEN ONE WORD ABOUT THE IMPACT WHAT THE CITY IS DOING WILL HAVE AN ANIMALS AND SIDE RESERVOIRS AND MANY RANGERS AND LANDOWNERS HAVE INTRUSION TO SUPPLY THE WATER. SO THOSE ARE INTENTIONS. I FINISHED SERVING 4 YEARS ON CITY COUNCIL.

>> LIKE I WAS IN PRISON (LAUGHTER). >> I TRIED TO TALK YOU OUT OF

THAT. >> A (LAUGHTER).

>> BEFORE IN THE BEGINNING SAID LOOK WE HAVE TO QUIT TALKING ABOUT WATER OR DO

SOMETHING. >> I'M NOT ON THAT BUT REPRESENT THE BUSINESS OWNERS OF THIS COMMUNITY AND WHEN I CAME HERE THEY WERE STILL TALKING. NO RULE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND THE HELPED THIS REGION REPRESENTATIVE PUT TOGETHER SOME FUNDING TO HELP THE CITY AND BRIDGE THAT GAP BETWEEN THE TIME THE SOUTH PLANT WOULD COME ONLINE FOR THE SITUATION OF GROUNDWATER TO HELP THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BRIDGE. WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE CITY MAP IT IS NO LONGER THERE THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD A PERMANENT WATER TROUBLESOME FOR

THE IMPACTS EVERYONE IN THIS REGION. >> SO ABSOLUTELY IN TALK ABOUT THAT US COORDINATING THAT IS GREAT AND SOUND GOOD BUT ANY CORPORATIONS I LEFT THE CITY COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, WE HAD PUT TOGETHER A PLAN PERMANENT HAD BEEN FUNDED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS AND CONTRACTOR I TOLD MY WIFE NOTHING WILL SCREW UP THAT UP.

>> WELL WITH HE FOUND 6 PEOPLE THAT COULD. >> AND THINK THAT BODY HAS TO SHOW THE PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT THAT ISSUE, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO US AND WE REPRESENT THEM.

THEY HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO TURN TO THEY CAN'T TURN TO THE CITY THE ONLY PEOPLE THEY CAN TURN TO SEE THIS BODY AND NO WILLFUL START WE CAN'T TELL THE CITY WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO BUT CAN SHOW THE PEOPLE WE SUPPORT OF ISSUES AND SYMPATHETIC TO THE PROBLEM FACE TO FACE COMING

FORWARD OPEN THEIR WATER. SO A GREAT POINT. >> AT THAT TIME A GREAT

POINT. >> INC., AS LONG AS WE'RE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS OF CORPUS CHRISTI THAT IS I APPRECIATE YOU CLARIFYING THAT NOT GOING TO ANYONE ELSE SO

[01:30:08]

THAT IS A VERY - I APPRECIATE THAT. >> ALSO GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS AND ONE OF THE REASONS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT AS OF US THE COUNTY IS VERY ACTIVE WORKING WITH THE LEGISLATORS WITH THAT LEGISLATION AND A LOT OF THAT GOES UNHEARD. AND THIS GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THAT. SO, YOU KNOW, I USED TO BE A BIG SUPPORTER NOT TRYING TO TREAD ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING BUT I SAW #23W45ER7 DOING THEY'RE SLOWLY GOING TO FIND WAYS AROUND US SO WE'RE GOING TO WAKE UP AND SAY THE SWEDISH COMPANY OWNS ALL THE RIGHTS HOW DO THAT HAPPEN?

>> THAT'S AN IMPORTANT INITIAL WE HAVE TO AND WE HAVE TO SHOW OUR COMMUNITIES WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT. THEY ARE REACHING OUT TO UNITED STATES NOW WHAT CAN WE DON'T? AND I GOT AN E-MAIL YESTERDAY FROM A GROUP TO A MEETING OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AND ANYWAY - PROBABLY SAID MORE THAN I SHOULD BUT SOMETHING I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT AND I WANT THEM TO KNOW I HAVE TALKED UNTIL I'M BLUE IN THE FACE AND THEY'RE NOT IN A COORDINATION MODE AT THIS TIME MAYBE IT WILL CHANGE MAYBE WE SHOULD SEND IT TO 9 CITY MANAGER AND HAVE HIM TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE RESPONSIBILITIES ARE TO SHARE WITH THEM WHAT I'M CONCERNED

ABOUT. >> THAT'S A GREAT POINT. BECAUSE I THINK ANYTHING IS MORE THE COMMENTS I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS IS I THINK THAT A GREAT POINT THE CITY SHOULD HAVE ESTABLISHED SHOULD HAVE SAID HEY THIS WILL AFFECT THE CORPORATE AREAS YOU'RE RESIDENTIAL FOR SO THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE PUBLIC DEBATE AND (LAUGHTER) BECAUSE THAT IS A GREAT PERSPECTIVE AND I - I THINK THAT IS A VALID RIGHT WHO ELSE DO THE PEOPLE HAVE IN THE COUNTY BUT REPRESENTS THEM IN THIS AREA.

>> OTHERS LIKE US BUT AND I THINK WE OUGHT TO STAY OUT OF ANYTHING THAT HAS THOSE ISSUES SO NOT DEBATE OVER THE OTHER STUFF OUTSIDE OF THAT BUT REQUEST IT IS VERY VALID.

>> THANK YOU. >> I KNOW WE NEED A REFERENCE FOR A CLARIFICATION.

>> TO PRIVATE COMPANY I GUESS I COULD IF YOU BOUGHT A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL CAN'T BUY LAND. SO HOW THE STATES OPERATE AND I THINK NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL COME ON UP CAN'T BUY PRIVATE

LAND. >> AND A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM. SO JUST TO KIND OF CLARIFY THAT THERE IS CONFUSION ON THAT AND USED TO BE 6 MONTHS AGO ONLY BEING AND BOUGHT OUT SOMEONE WAS BITER BUT TO CLARIFY I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER WORK BUT TO PRODUCE A PLAN THE MAGIC WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER AND THAT IS I HAVE A COMMENT THIS IS A LENGTHY DISCUSSION.

>> AFTER PUTTING THIS ON THE AGENDA I RECEIVED SOME SLIDES AS WELL ON WELL MONITORING PROGRAM AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN TALKING AND BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT IS THEIR PARTNERING WITH THE AREA WELL OWNERS BUT SOMEONE ELSE BUT THIS ON THIS SLIDE IT SAYS THE IMPACTS CUMBERSOME ABOUT THE BY THE DATA FROM THE OPERATION WOULD THEN BE REMEDIED AS TO NO COST TO THE WELL OWNERS IS THE CITY PUTTING IN A FUND WHEN OUR WATER RUNS DRY.

- >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> THIS IS SOMETHING I THINK

[01:35:03]

SHOULD BE IN WRITING AND THE FIRST I'M SEEING IT ON THE SLIDE. SO OUR RURAL AREA IS

SOMETHING GOOD WE SDW ASK THEM TO. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES.)

>> IF 9 BEGINNING WE ASKED BECAUSE IF YOU - BE WHOLE AGAIN.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE AREA IN SAN ANTONIO YET APPROVED AS

LANDOWNER GOES TO THE WELL. >> I THINK THAT IS WHY YOU'RE ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO.

- >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> THERAPISTS.

>> SO WE'RE TAKING A STEP FURTHER. WE'RE TAKING PEOPLE AND WITH THE WELLS WE MAY HAVE ANOTHER JC D AND PUTTING IN MONITORING AND AGAIN - NOT MY OPINION BUT A FACT AND IT IS

PLANT BASICALLY NOT SOMETHING WE'RE MAKING UP. >> NOT THE FIRST TO SAY NOT EFFECTING US AND YOU ABOUT THIS WELL IS 15 FEET. BUT WITHOUT THAT CAN AND GO BACK TO JUDGE TO THE FIRST COMMENT SO THE CITY HAS A I GUESS CALLED A HOTLINE AND SAYING OH, COME OUT AND THEY'LL CHECK THE WATER AND WATER LEVEL AND QUALITY OF LIFE; RIGHT? AND SEEN 17

PEOPLE NOT HAVING A PLAN BEHIND IT. >> THIS IS A GOOD THING WE

ASK. >> YEAH. >> IT IS IMPORTANT TO ASK,

ASK WITH THE BASELINE INFORMATION IT IS IMPORTANT. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES.)

>> ONE FINAL THING ON THIS. YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS HIRED A FEW SCIENTISTS THEY COME OUT AND TELL PEOPLE YOU BROUGHT UP A GREAT POINT WHEN THEY TELL YOU THIS WILL NOT IMPACT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE IN GEOLOGY AND SPENT 4 YEARS IN RESERVOIRS AND DRAINED THEM

AND. - >> (MULTIPLE VOICES).

>> EXACTLY AND SO I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS NOT TRUE.

>> SO- >> I THINK PASS GOOD POINT. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES).

>> THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY CONTRADICT. >> IT IS BASED ON ONE OPINION AND SO WHAT THE OTHER JC D AREAS HAVE HIRED GEOLOGISTS TO EVALUATE THAT SO YOU DON'T HAVE ONE PERSON MAKING IT BILLION DOLLARS DECISIONS BASED ON WHAT THEY THINK.

>> I WILL MOVE FORWARD WE'RE RUNNING LONG HERE. >> SO WHAT I DID AND BROKE DOWN THE FIELD AND AGAIN, THAT 15-MILE CURRENTLY WHAT IS PLANNED 75 MILLION GALLONS AND INCLUDING SO MOVED STUFF HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AS HIGH AS ONE HUNDRED AND 10 MILLIONS AND OUR AD IS 6 HUNDRED PLUS IS 6 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY WILL EXCEED THAT AND THERE'S A REASON WHY WE HAVE A GAP NOT JUST JC D LIMITING NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND LAND ORDINARY AND

THE DEPLEX WAS BROUGHT OUT AND THIS IS HUGE FOR US. >> AND I AND THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WATER PUMPED OUT AND IT HAS TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE. AND MIKE TALKED ABOUT THAT AND ALL THE TIME CAN INVERT A WELL AND BRING FROM MEXICO IT PRODUCES WATER.

>> BUT THE CONTAMINATION OF THE WATER THE ARRESTING NICK WELL 13 OWE WHAT WELL 13 SHOWS DOES HAVE ARSENIC AND LAST 13 YEARS NO ARSENIC.

[01:40:04]

>> SO WHERE IS THIS NICK COMING FROM. >> AND SO GROUNDWATER DISTURBING COMING FROM BEING PUMPED INTO THE RIVER AND CONCERNING IS - NOW WE CAN'T GET RID OF BRAND NEW CARS BUT THE QUOTATION ALL OF THOSE ARE NOT ABOVE IN THE LEVEL. THE HIGH LET THEM TALKS ABOUT VIOLATIONS BUT THE MORE WE PUMP THE MORE IT WILL BRING STUFF IN AND I THINK THOSE ARE - AT LEAST TWICE IN THE WATER SUPPLY AND A LOT OF SKINNER WITH THE

COOPERATION WELLS. >> NEXT. >> WE TALKED ABOUT S R D AND THE ANNEXATION. GOALS OF PROPOSED 0 WAY OUR GOALS TO PERSEVERE THE GROUNDWATER AND KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AND THIS IS OUR REGION. AND INSURE THE REPRESENTATION REALLY

PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A VOICE THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. >> NEXT.

>> AND AGAIN, WHAT ARE WE ASKING THE COMMISSIONERS FOR. SUPPORT, WHAT WE GOVERN AND ENCOURAGE COORDINATION WITH THE JC D AND RIFFS THAT IS AT JC BEING REVIEWED. AND WE NEED HELP WITH THAT SHOWS THE COUNTY IS INVOLVED IN THE PERMIT AND SLIGHTLY HELP. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID ASKED FOR PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THE RURAL RESIDENTS CAN COMMENT ON THIS PROCESS LIKE ON THE PERMITS COMING UP. YOU HAVE THAT ABILITY -

>> INSURE RURAL LAND HAVE A VOICE. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US

HERE AND OPEN UP FOR DISCUSSION. >> THIS IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS PLANNING. AND THERE IS A REASON THAT MAGIC AND PRESERVE WHEN WE SEE THAT IT

EFFECTS CONDITIONS AND MANY. >> THAT WAS LIMITED TO A COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE OF THE

TIME TO BUILD SOMETHING. >> WE DON'T KNOW. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES).

>> OKAY. >> I THINK THAT IS THAT'S IT. >> GROUNDWATER SHARED PRIVATELY OWNED RESOURCES AND THE LEVEL IS OBJECTIVE ESSENTIAL FOR LONG TERM SUBSEQUENT AND SEE COORDINATION AND ASKING MORE TRANSPARENT IT IS IMPORTANT AND UNDERSTAND WE ARE AS TRANSPARENT AS WE CAN BE OVER THE WATER REGULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ANY

QUESTIONS? I THINK ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS WE'LL ANSWER THEM. >> APPRECIATE IT YOU'VE BEEN

IN MY OFFICE. >> YES, MA'AM >> APPRECIATE THAT EVERY TIME

I CALLED. >> WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TODAY ALL OF YOU.

>> THANK YOU ALL >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND WITH AN FINAL COMMENT WITH THE TALKING ABOUT IN - I OWN 3 WATER WELLS AND I HAVE EARLY ON ALL OF THEM TESTED FOR WHAT THEY'RE P.O. BOX AND ONE OF THE WELLS PRODUCES ARSENICAL THAT'S WHERE THE

NICK IS COMING FROM. >> QUICK WE SEE IT HERE IN THE FORMATION AND WHAT HAPPENS WHENEVER YOU PUMP IT PRODUCES MORE. IT IS FOLLOWED BY DEPUTYTIONS 27 YEARS AGO.

>> BUT WE ARE SEEING THAT MORE THAN BECAUSE WE'RE DISTURBING THE.

- >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> LIKE I SAID, WE MADE A SCIENCE KNOWING HOW WE CAN DRAW AND HAD A TERM YOU'LL BRING IN THIS SO THAT'S PART OF SCIENCE

[01:45:17]

AND NICK THE SAME WAY. >> I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS BUT FIRST OF ALL, SINCE THE BEGINNING GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION IT IS CONSERVE WE'RE DEFENDING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAP I KNOW YOU GUYS REPRESENT CORPUS CHRISTI BUT REPRESENT THE REST REST OF THE COUNTY YOU'RE THE ONLY REPRESENTATION AND XAUKZ IS MY REPRESENTATIVE AND I FEED TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THAT. AND GOES OUT AND DOWN 70 YOU HAVE A

LOT OF COMMUNITY AND YOU'RE THE ONLY REPRESENTATIVES. >> AND THAT IS - THOSE WELLS

ARE IN THE AREA AND NEAR JUDGE YOUR PLACE. >> THE THE OTHER THING IS TALKED ABOUT THE COUNTY. YOU KNOW, WHAT CAN THE COUNTY DO WHEN YOU DO WHAT YOU'RE DOING THEY'RE CREATING FROM YOUR LEVEL ON THE COMMISSIONERS LEVEL.

>> WE WENT AND PRESENTED TO THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF GROUNDWATER INVITED UP THERE AND TREY DID IT PREPARATION IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE STATE AND HOUSTON COUNTY IS BEHIND US IN
