DISTRICT MISSION

The Glasscock Groundwater Conservation District strives to bring about conservation, preservation, and the efficient, beneficial and wise use of water for the benefit of the citizens and economy of the District through monitoring and protecting the quality of the groundwater.

TIME PERIOD FOR THIS PLAN

This plan becomes effective upon adoption by the District Board of Directors and approval by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) affirming the plan is administratively complete. This plan replaces the existing plan adopted by the District Board of Directors on March 17, 1998. This District management plan will remain in effect until a revised plan is certified or September 1, 2008, whichever is earlier.

STATEMENT OF GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The primary concern of the residents of this area of the State regarding groundwater is the potential contamination of the groundwater from the vast amount of oil and gas production and the activities involved in the production of oil and gas. For this reason, the residents asked Representative Tom Craddick to introduce legislation to create this groundwater conservation district. The District recognizes that the groundwater resources of this region are of vital importance to the residents and that this resource must be managed and protected from contamination. The greatest threat to prevent the District from achieving the stated mission is from state mandates and agency bureaucrats who have no understanding of local conditions. A basic understanding of the aquifers and their hydro geologic properties, as well as a quantification of resources is the foundation from which to build prudent planning measures. This management plan is intended as a tool to focus the thoughts and actions of those given the responsibility for the execution of District activities.

General Description

The Glasscock Groundwater Conservation District (GCD) was created by Acts of the 67th Legislature (1981). In August, 1981, the residents confirmed the District and also voted to fund the district operations through local property taxes. It became an active District in August, 1981. On April 15, 1986, the District adopted Rules and By-Laws which became effective immediately and on February 21, 1989 the District adopted a management plan. With the adoption of these rules, the District implemented a well permitting and registration program. The District rules were amended on June 20, 2000. The current members of the Board of Directors are: Kenneth Braden, Chairman, John Phillips, Vice-Chairman, Larry Wheat, Secretary, Kent McMillan, Member, and Allan Fuchs, Member. The District General Manager is Ricky Harston. The Glasscock GCD covers all of Glasscock County and a portion of Northwest Reagan County. The District=s economy is based primarily on agriculture, and oil and gas production. The agricultural income is derived primarily from cotton, grain sorghum, wheat, alfalfa, pecans, as well as sheep, goats, and beef cattle production. Recreational hunting leases also contribute to the income of the area.

Location and Extent

The Glasscock GCD has an aerial extent of approximately 864 square miles or approximately 552,960 acres of land in Glasscock County and 65,000 acres in Northwest Reagan County. The total population of the District is approximately 1500 people. There are no incorporated cities within the District boundaries. The two communities within the District are Garden City and St. Lawrence. Land use in the District is for agricultural purposes of which 177,120 acres is crop or farm land, 9,000 acres is improved pasture, and the balance of 431,840 acres is range land. The majority of the District is over the Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) aquifer with exception of the northwest part of Glasscock County which is over the Ogallala aquifer. The crop land is located primarily in the southern and northwest portions of the District, with the balance being in pasture and range land. Irrigation covers approximately 36,511 acres of the District=s crop land. Of these acres, 26,511 are located in Glasscock County and 10,000 acres are located in Reagan County. Historically, the principle method of irrigation had been furrow irrigation. However, within recent years there has been a gradual trend to change to more highly efficient subsurface drip irrigation and low energy precision application (LEPA) center pivots. There is currently, approximately 28,404 acres of subsurface drip irrigation and 5,107 acres of LEPA center pivots within the District. The remaining 3,000 acres is furrow irrigation.

Topography and Drainage

The District is within what is known as the Permian Basin of Texas. Topographically, the area within the District is generally a nearly level to undulating plain that slopes upward from the east to the west. The altitude of the land surface ranges from 2,300 feet above sea level in the eastern part of the District to about 2,750 feet above sea level in the western part of the District.

The Glasscock GCD lies within the Colorado River Basin. The North Concho River is a tributary of the Colorado River and is located in the northeast part of the District.

Groundwater Resources of the Glasscock GCD

The Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) aquifer is located in the entire District except in the northwest portion of Glasscock County. Water from this aquifer is principally used for irrigation, rural domestic, and livestock needs. This aquifer consists of saturated sediments of lower Cretaceous age Trinity Group formations and overlying lime stones and dolomite of the Comanche Peak, Edwards, and Georgetown formations. The Glen Rose Limestone is the primary unit of the Trinity in the southern part of the plateau and is replaced by the Antlers Sand north of the Glen Rose pinch out. Reported well yields range from 20 gal/min, where saturated thickness is thin, to more than 300 gal/min, within the District. Chemical quality of Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) water ranges from fresh to slightly saline. The water is typically hard and may vary widely in concentrations of dissolved solids made up mostly of calcium and bicarbonate. The salinity of the groundwater tends to increase toward the west. Certain areas have unacceptable levels of fluoride. Water levels have declined as a result of increased pump age and the increase of harmful vegetation such as mesquite and prickly pear. The average decline has been approximately 20 feet since 1980. (See map on next page)

The Ogallala aquifer is located in northwest Glasscock County. The Ogallala is composed primarily of sand, gravel, clay and silts deposited during the Tertiary Period. Water from this aquifer is principally used for irrigation, rural domestic, and livestock needs. Water yields from this aquifer are generally greater than 150 gal/min. The chemical quality of the water in the aquifer is generally fresh; however, higher levels of dissolved-solids and chloride concentrations can be found within the District. Water levels have fluctuated in this area due to several acres participating in the USDA Conservation Reserve Program being removed and put back into production. (See map below)

The Dockum Group of Triassic age is located in the extreme eastern portion of the District. This aquifer is used principally for livestock needs. (See map below)

The aquifer explanations above were taken from Texas Water Development Board=s Report 345 Aquifers of Texas (1995).

Currently the District is using the 2007 State Water Plan Projected Water Availability as well as estimates of recharge and availability rates. The data sets describe the saturated thickness and yield, which the product describes as water in storage. When combined with recharge and production values, these estimates can be used by the District to derive goals for future estimates of available groundwater. Currently within the District, there is an estimated 23,637 acre-feet of recoverable water in storage in the Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) aquifer, 3,928 acre-feet in the Ogallala aquifer, and 145 acre-feet in the Dockum Aquifer. There is an estimated 42 acre-feet in surface water from private stock tanks. The existing total usable amount of groundwater in the District is 27,752 acre-feet on an annual basis.

Surface Water Resources of Glasscock GCD

No surface water management entities exist within the District. There are no surface water impoundments within the District except for livestock consumption. There are no surface water entities located within the District to coordinate the development of this plan.

Groundwater Use in Glasscock GCD

Based on Texas Water Development Board=s Water Use Survey, during the last five years ending in 2003, annual groundwater usage in the Glasscock County portion of the District has varied from a high of 35,746 acre-feet to a low of 26,042 acre-feet. The annual estimated usage within the District for the 5 years is as follows:

1999

24,837 acre-feet per year

2000

35,746 acre-feet per year

2001

26,042 acre-feet per year

2002

26,670 acre-feet per year

2003

45,335 acre-feet per year

Based on Texas Water Development Board's Water Use Survey, during the last five years ending in 2003, annual groundwater usage in the Northwest Reagan County portion of the District has varied from a high of 18,716 acre-feet to a low of 9,213 acre-feet. The annual estimated usage within the District for the 5 years is as follows:

1999

18,716 acre-feet per year

2000

14,525 acre-feet per year

2001

10,773 acre-feet per year

2002

13,608 acre-feet per year

2003

9,213 acre-feet per year

This data was obtained from the Texas Water Development Board=s annual survey of historical water use.

Since the District does not overlie all of Reagan County, some estimates obtained are based on a percentage derived by dividing the amount of acres within the District by the total number of acres contained within Reagan County. The percentage used to develop these estimates is .0822. 90% of the irrigated acres in Reagan County are located within the District; therefore, this percentage was used to develop irrigation estimates.

Water Supply Needs

Based on supply and demand calculations and projections it is obvious that there will be times that demands exceed supply. In this area of the State and with the type of aquifer that serves the area, this is a normal occurrence that is recognized by the local residents.

The residents of the District understand that groundwater supplies are limited and have modified farming and ranching techniques to match the availability of water. There is currently, approximately 28,404 acres of subsurface drip irrigation and 5107 acres LEPA center pivots within the District, with more acres going in every year. Efforts are being made by the residents of the District to use the available groundwater resources with maximum efficiency, while monitoring the quality of the groundwater to protect this resource for the years to come.

Management of Groundwater Supplies

For the past 22 years, the District has and will continue to manage the supply of groundwater within the District, in order to conserve the resource while seeking to maintain the economic viability of all resource user groups, public and private. In consideration of the economic and cultural activities occurring within the District, the District will continue to identify and engage in such activities and practices, that if implemented, would result in preservation and protection of the groundwater. The observation network will continue to be reviewed and maintained in order to monitor changing conditions of groundwater within the District. The District will undertake investigations of the groundwater resources within the District and will make the results of investigations available to the public.

The District has, or will amend as necessary, rules to regulate groundwater withdrawals by means of spacing and/or production limits. The relevant factors to be considered in making the determination to grant a permit or limit groundwater withdrawal will include:

1. The purpose of the District and it=s rules;

2. The equitable conservation and preservation of the resource; and

3. The economic hardship resulting from granting or denying a permit or the terms prescribed by the rules.

In pursuit of the District=s mission of preserving and protecting the resource, the District will enforce the terms and conditions of permits and the rules of the District by enjoining the permit holder in a court of competent jurisdiction, as provided for in TWC Chapter 36.102, if necessary.

Actions, Procedures, Performance and Avoidance for Plan Implementation

The District will implement the provisions of this plan and will utilize the provisions of this plan as a guidepost for determining the direction or priority for all District activities. All operations of the District, all agreements entered into by the District, and any additional planning efforts in which the District may participate will be consistent with the provisions of this plan.

The District has adopted and will amend, as necessary, rules relating to the implementation of this plan. The rules adopted by the District shall be pursuant to TWC Chapter 36 and the provisions of this plan. All rules will be adhered to and enforced. The promulgation and enforcement of the rules will be based on the best technical evidence available.

The District shall treat all citizens with equality. Citizens may apply to the District for discretion in enforcement of the rules on grounds of adverse economic effect or unique local characteristics.

In granting of discretion to any rule, the Board shall consider the potential for adverse effect on adjacent owners and aquifer conditions. The exercise of said discretion by the Board shall not be construed as limiting the power of the Board.

Desired Future Conditions (DFC's) of the Aquifers

The Desired Future Conditions for the aquifers located within the District boundaries and within Groundwater Management Area 7 have not been established; therefore, an estimate of the managed available groundwater is not available at this time. The District is actively working with the other member districts within Groundwater Management Area 7 towards determining the desired future conditions for each aquifer located within the district. Once these are established an estimate of the managed available groundwater will be determined. The District will amend the management plan at that time.

The methodology that the District will use to trace it=s progress on an annual basis in achieving all of it=s management goals will be as follows: The District manager will prepare and present an annual report to the Board of Directors on District performance in regards to achieving management goals and objectives (during the first monthly Board of Directors meeting each fiscal year, beginning December 31, 2000). The report will include the number of instances each activity was engaged in during the year.

The annual report will be maintained on file at the District office.
