1 HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN Biological Monitoring Program Overview EAHCP Biological Monitoring Program Workgroup March 15, 2016
2 Comal Springs San Marcos Springs ENDANGERED SPECIES: Fountain darter (Etheostoma fonticola) Comal Springs riffle beetle (Heterelmis comalensis) Comal Springs dryopid beetle (Stygoparnus comalensis) Peck s Cave amphipod (Stygobromus pecki) ENDANGERED SPECIES: Fountain darter (Etheostoma fonticola) San Marcos gambusia (Gambusia georgei) Texas wild rice (Zizania texana) Texas blind salamander (Eurycea rathbuni) Comal Springs riffle beetle (Heterelmis comalensis) THREATENED SPECIES: San Marcos salamander (Eurycea nana) 2
3 History of the Development of the Biological Monitoring Program Edwards Aquifer Optimization Program (EAOP) During the late 1990 s, a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for the EAOP was formed consisting of resource specialists / scientists from the following entities: Edwards Aquifer Authority (Authority), San Antonio Water System (SAWS), San Antonio River Authority (SARA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ formally TNRCC), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), Edwards Aquifer Research and Data Center (EARDC) Texas State University (formerly Southwest Texas State University). TAG developed the original monitoring plan during a series of workshops in 1999 and First Biological Monitoring Event under this program was Fall 2000 at <150 cfs in the Comal River.
4 History of the Development of the Biological Monitoring Program Technical review and modification over the years Annually by the USFWS in support of BIO-WEST Federal Scientific T&E Permit (2001 through present) Special Review by USFWS and EAA following 4 years of monitoring (2005) Highlighted changes: Changed from sampling every season (4) to comprehensive sampling spring and fall (2) with summer fountain darter timed dipnetting and TWR full system mapping. Change water quality longitudinal grab sampling to only during Critical Period sampling because of consistency of results Change predation study to only during Critical Period sampling because of lack of results. Other USFWS approved modifications over time Comal Springs riffle beetles lures incorporated in 2004 Fountain darter 50 site dipnet sampling incorporated in 2006
5 History of the Development of the Biological Monitoring Program Technical review and modification over the years EARIP Science subcommittee appointed to address Legislative charges (2008 through 2010) J-charge and K-charge committee reviewed the biological monitoring program for their reports No changes recommended Original EARIP Biological Monitoring Program workgroup ( ) Core program did not change Added several sampling components to evaluate the systems more holistically as well as species specific to meet HCP goals. Aquatic Vegetation full system mapping every 5 years Comprehensive and Critical Period Monitoring Fish community sampling system wide, macroinvertebrate food source sampling, Landa Lake flow partitioning, drop netting in Spring Lake Dam study reach. Added species-specific sampling to address HCP adaptive management
6 History of the Development of the Biological Monitoring Program Technical review and modification over the years HCP Science Committee (2013) Reviewed prior to preparation of the 2014 HCP Workplan No changes recommended National Academy of Sciences ( ) No major modifications to base program recommended Terminology for reaches changed to Intensive Study Reaches Comal Springs riffle beetle methodology review Better linkage with Water Quality monitoring program See NAS report for discussion items EAHCP Biological Monitoring Program Workgroup (2016)
7 Monitoring Types (3) Comprehensive Spring and Fall (Full Events), Summer (abbreviated) Critical Period Repeat of comprehensive sampling but under triggered (low and high) flow conditions. HCP Species Specific Triggered by low flow conditions Supports Adaptive Management Actions 7
8 Sampling Components Aquatic vegetation Texas wild-rice mapping Fountain darter specific: Dipnet, Dropnet, and SCUBA transects Fixed station photography Thermistors (Water Quality) Fish Community* Macroinvertebrate Food Source* Comal Springs Salamander Comal Springs Discharge Comal Springs Invertebrates San Marcos Salamander Texas wild-rice physical measurement Landa Lake Flow Partitioning* * New in 2013 Drop netting Landa Lake Salamander sampling Spring Lake 8
9 Sampling Strategies (5) System-wide sampling Select longitudinal locations Intensive study reach sampling Intensive study Springs sampling River section / Segment sampling 9
10 Sampling Strategies System-wide sampling Full system aquatic vegetation mapping once every 5 years Texas wild-rice mapping - annually Select longitudinal locations Continuous temperature monitoring thermisters Water quality sampling during Critical Period Fixed station photography Discharge measurements Comal Springs 10
11 Sampling Strategies Intensive Study Reach sampling Aquatic vegetation mapping Fountain darter drop netting Fountain darter presence/absence dip netting Intensive Study Springs sampling Endangered Comal Invertebrate sampling Comal Salamander sampling San Marcos Salamander sampling 11
12 Sampling Strategies River Section / Segment sampling Fountain darter timed dip net surveys Macroinvertebrate community sampling Fish community sampling 12
13 Comal Springs Sampling Location Development USFWS TAG Two reaches at the extremes to study first impacts Four reaches to study all aspects of the system
14 Intensive Study Reaches Support important fountain darter habitat Key aquatic vegetation Depth, Velocity, substrate Hydraulic models are available Represent different levels of disturbance High New Channel Moderate Upper Spring Run Limited Old Channel, Landa Lake Time, budget, and USFWS permit constraints Could not sample the entire system 14
15 Intensive Study Springs Known subterranean invertebrate habitat Major orifices (SR1, SR3, and Western Shoreline [SR7]) Drift net sampling Known quality Comal Springs riffle beetle habitat Spring run, shoreline, and upwelling habitats Quadrat sampling transitioned to Cotton lure sampling Time, budget, and USFWS permit constraints Could not sample the entire system 15
16 Intensive Study Springs Comal Springs Riffle Beetles circle Comal Invertebrates drift nets - triangle 16
17 System-wide and Comal River Sections 17
18 San Marcos River Sampling Location Development USFWS TAG High recreation areas to study first impacts Two reaches one impacted, one not Immediately after 1998 flood so there was limited concern below I35
19 Intensive Study Reach Support important fountain darter habitat Key aquatic vegetation Depth, Velocity, substrate Hydraulic models are available Represent different levels of disturbance High Spring Lake Dam and City Park Moderate to Limited I35 Time and budget constraints Could not sample the entire system 19
20 Intensive Study Springs Known quality San Marcos salamander habitat Existing data (Nelson Thesis) Depth, Velocity, substrate Hydraulic models are available Represent different levels of disturbance High below the dam Low within Spring Lake Time and budget constraints Could not sample the entire system 20

34 2015 Biological Monitoring Conclusions Comal System Nice recovery of habitat and most species in 2015 following the 2013 through 2014 drought. Only minor impact from the Halloween flooding. San Marcos System Was stable throughout the drought with relatively minor impacts relative to the Comal system. Memorial weekend flooding Impacts minor upstream of I35 Summer time Impacts associated with targeted recreation Magnified in designated areas as designed. Relieves pressure in key habitat areas. Halloween flooding Severe impacts to habitat and species as documented. Will be interesting to track recovery in 2016.
