2 Topics Lower Bois d Arc Creek Reservoir Instream Flow Study Challenges modeling environmental flows associated with the Texas Instream Flow Program
3 Lower Bois d Arc Cr Reservoir Owner North Texas Municipal Water District Surface Area 16,526 acres Drainage Area 327 sq. miles Storage 367,609 ac-ft Supply 113 MGD Ector Avg/Max Depth 22 ft/70 ft Elevation 534 ft msl Ravenna Proposed Reservoir Bonham Dodd City Windom Honey Grove Ladonia Leonard
4 Instream Flow Study Based on Texas Instream Flow Program Multidiscipline Field work Modeling Objectives Characterize existing conditions Evaluate impacts of the proposed reservoir on Bois d Arc Creek Recommend a flow regime to maintain a Sound Ecological Environment
5 Sound Ecological Environment Stream power to move sediment, but not create excessive erosion Support mesohabitat diversity Provide hydraulic connectivity Maintain water quality Support fish reproduction Maintain or improve fish and macroinvertebrate communities
6 Study Components Hydrology and Hydraulics Flows over time (seasonally and long-term) Hydraulic connectivity to support biology
7 Study Components Hydrology and Hydraulics Flows over time (seasonally and long-term) Hydraulic connectivity to support biology Fluvial Geomorphology Sediment transport Mesohabitats
8 Study Components Hydrology and Hydraulics Flows over time (seasonally and long-term) Hydraulic connectivity to support biology Fluvial Geomorphology Sediment transport Mesohabitats Biology Fish and macroinvertebrates
9 Study Components Hydrology and Hydraulics Flows over time (seasonally and long-term) Hydraulic connectivity to support biology Fluvial Geomorphology Sediment transport Mesohabitats Biology Fish and macroinvertebrates Water Quality Dissolved oxygen and temperature
10 Hydrology Data Sources and Models: USGS gages (Bois d Arc Creek, North Sulphur, others) Field data Cross-section surveys and LiDar survey HEC-RAS (hydraulics and habitat modeling) Full model high flows Reach models low flows RiverWare (long-term watershed modeling)
11 Hydrology Limited historical data Drainage area ratios and rainfall/runoff trends Monthy Red River WAM flows to daily Long-term behavior from RiverWare models Channelization Flashy (rapid rise and fall) Frequent high flows cause erosion Extended periods of little to no flow
12 Flow Duration Curves Average Daily Flow (cfs) Full Period April-June July-October November-March 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Percent of Time Equaled or Exceeded
13 Existing Conditions Three Reservoirs Lake Bonham Coffee Mill Lake Crockett Lake One water users Three reach objects Four control points Lake Bonham to Red River
14 Future Conditions Four Reservoirs Lake Bonham Coffee Mill Lake Crockett Lake Lower Bois d Arc Cr Reservoir Two water users Three reach objects Two control points
15 Reservoir Storage 450, , , ,000 Storage (ac-ft) 250, , , ,000 50,000 0 Jan-48 Jan-50 Jan-52 Jan-54 Jan-56 Jan-58 Jan-60 Jan-62 Jan-64 Jan-66 Jan-68 Jan-70 Jan-72 Jan-74 Jan-76 Jan-78 Jan-80 Jan-82 Jan-84 Jan-86 Jan-88 Jan-90 Jan-92 Jan-94 Jan-96 Jan-98 Date Lower Bois d'arc Storage 40% of Conservation Storage Conservation Storage

20 Proposed Flow Regime 10, ,000.0 Average Daily Flow (cfs) Post Dam Full Period Pre-Dam Full Period % 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Percent of Time Equaled or Exceeded
21 Challenges Modeling TIFP Base and pulse flows Monthly water availability models Pulses Identification Prediction Credit for pulses Without a release With a partial release
22 Status The proposed instream flow regime for the Lower Bois d Arc Creek Reservoir is under review by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its processing of the North Texas Municipal Water District s application for a water right permit for the project. No approval or acceptance of the proposed flow regime has been issued by any state or federal regulatory agency as of this date.
