Water Resources Technical Report Addendum #2
Oak Hill Parkway CSJs: 0113-08-060 & 0700-03-077 1 2019
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE In December 2018, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) approved a Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision (ROD) for mobility improvements to U.S. Highway (US) 290/State Highway (SH) 71 West from State Loop 1 (MoPac) to west of Ranch-to-Market Road (RM) 1826 and from US 290 to Silvermine Drive (Figure 1). The proposed project, known as the Oak Hill Parkway (OHP) Project, is located in Travis County, Texas, and is shown on the USGS 7.5’ quadrangle maps for Bee Cave, Oak Hill, and Signal Hill, Texas.
The proposed OHP Project and previous environmental analyses are described in detail in the Final EIS and ROD, and subsequent May 2019 Reevaluation (Reevaluation 1) (available online at https://www.oakhillparkway.com/environmental/).
2019 Reevaluation #2
As a result of project design changes following the 2018 Final EIS/ROD and Reevalutaion #1, TxDOT is conducting a second documented reevaluation to determine whether the previous environmental decision remains valid under circumstances listed in 43 TAC 2.85 and 23 CFR 771.129. A detailed list of design revisions is included in the Documented Reevaluation Checklist and displayed on the revised schematics (available for review at the TxDOT Austin District Office). This Water Resources Technical Addendum #2 has been prepared to document any change in resource impacts resulting from the 2019 Reevaluation #2 design modifications.
The purpose of this technical report is to identify and describe all water resources located within the proposed project area in order to assist in avoidance of impacts and minimization of effects as a result of the construction of the proposed project. Conclusions contained in this report are the opinion of the professionals conducting the study and are subject to confirmation by the appropriate regulatory agencies. In addition, this report covers regulatory issues related to water resources that are relevant to the requirements for a Documented Reevaluation Checklist for a TxDOT Project.
METHODS This Water Resources Technical Report Addendum #2 includes a summary of waters of the United States (WOUS), including wetlands, delineated within the project area by HDR, Inc. in March 2019, as well as a compilation of published data related to water quality, floodplains, and groundwater.

Data Review
Qualified wetland ecologists reviewed several published data resources prior to the field visit to identify potentially jurisdictional crossings, floodplains, impaired stream segments, and other sensitive surface and groundwater resources. Sources consulted included U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps, the National Hydrography Dataset, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey for Travis County, USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle sheets (Oak Hill, Signal Hill, and Bee Cave, Texas), Geologic Atlas of Texas maps (Austin sheet), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain maps, and recent and historic aerial photography.
Field Delineation
Qualified wetland ecologists conducted field investigations in March 2019 within the project area. No additional delineation was completed for Reevaluation #2. The routine method of wetland delineation outlined in the Field Guide for Wetland Delineation: 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual (WTI, 1991) and updated in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Great Plains Region, Version 2.0 (USACE, 2010) was utilized for wetland determinations within the project area. Field activities focused on wetlands and WOUS and description.
The Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987) defines wetlands based on three criteria: hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. In general, all three criteria must be present for an area to qualify as a wetland. Some exceptions can occur in disturbed areas or in newly formed wetlands where one indicator (such as hydric soils) might be lacking. These areas would be dealt with on an individual basis as outlined in the Field Guide for Wetland Delineation (WTI, 1991) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Great Plains Region, Version 2.0 (USACE, 2010).
In addition to the jurisdictional wetlands defined above, the Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates impacts to other WOUS. The term “waters of the United States” has broad meaning and incorporates both deepwater aquatic habitats and special aquatic sites, including wetlands, as listed below:
• The territorial seas with respect to the discharge of fill material; • Coastal and inland waters, lakes, rivers, and streams that are navigable WOUS,
including their adjacent wetlands; • Tributaries to navigable WOUS, including adjacent wetlands; • Interstate waters and their tributaries, including adjacent wetlands;
For linear WOUS, the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) was determined by assessing a combination of factors at each site. In accordance with Sec. 328.3(e) of the CWA and
Water Resources Technical Report Addendum #2
Oak Hill Parkway CSJs: 0113-08-060 & 0700-03-077 3 2019
Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-05 (USACE December 5, 2005), the following factors were considered in determining the jurisdictional boundary:
• Natural line impressed on the bank • Shelving • Changes in the character of soil • Destruction of terrestrial vegetation • Presence of litter and debris • Wracking • Vegetation matted down, bent, or absent • Sediment sorting • Leaf litter disturbed or washed away • Scour • Deposition • Multiple observed flow events • Bed and banks • Water staining • Change in plant community • Other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas
Following the completion of preliminary data gathering and synthesis, the routine method of wetland determination was used to identify potentially jurisdictional areas within the project area. The crossings are listed in Table 1 below, and photographs of the project area are included in Attachment B of this report.
RESULTS The 2019 Reevaluation #2 proposed design revisions would not result in a change to the findings described in the Final EIS/ROD or Reevaluation #1 for the regulations listed below. Each regulation was addressed in detail during the water resources analysis conducted for the Final EIS/ROD.
• Section 401 of the CWA • Section 402 of the CWA • Section 402: Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System • Section 402: Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System • Water Quality Section 303(d) of the CWA • Executive Order 11990, Wetlands • General Bridge Act and Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act • Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act • Texas Coastal Management Program
Water Resources Technical Report Addendum #2
Oak Hill Parkway CSJs: 0113-08-060 & 0700-03-077 4 2019
• Coastal Barrier Resources Act • Trinity River Corridor Development Certificate • International Boundary and Water Commission • Wild and Scenic Rivers • Water wells with 500 feet of the project area • Executive Order 11988– Floodplain Management
Additionally, the underlying hydrology of the project area has not changed since the environmental clearance of Reevaluation #1.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
Wetland ecologists initially conducted field investigations for aquatic features in 2015. The results of that effort were presented in the 2018 Final EIS/ROD. In March 2019, the project team acquired additional right-of-entry agreements, which allowed for additional site visits and delineation of the proposed detention pond locations. Based on the designs of the 2019 Reevaluation #2, five of those aquatic features are no longer in the project area. As a result, a total of 13 aquatic features have been delineated and remain within the project area. Aquatic features identified within the project area include three classifications: intermittent streams, ephemeral streams, and an emergent wetland (Table 1, Figure 2a-b, Figure 3a-l, and Attachment C).
The acreage of impacts of each potentially jurisdictional water body within the existing and proposed right-of-way, along with the total project area acreages, are shown in Table 1 below. Field data sheets are included in Attachment C for the wetland location.

*These crossings were identified within the survey area in 2019 but have been determined not to lie within the Reevaluation #2 project limits.
Note: The impact calculations are based on the schematic design and are not based on actual limits of construction, as this level of detail is not available at this point in project
development. Therefore, the calculations are an estimated value that assume complete loss for waters that occur within or beneath at-grade improvements. The calculations have
not accounted for the removal of waters contained within existing culverts, as this information was not available at the time of report production.

Oak Hill Parkway CSJs: 0113-08-060 & 0700-03-077 7 2019
Summary of Impacts
The project area contains 12 potentially jurisdictional streams and one potentially jurisdictional wetland. Of the delineated streams and wetland, 8 features would be impacted by the proposed project. The impacts to these waters would occur from extending existing culverts, placing fill for concrete aprons and/or rock rip rap at bridges, and placing temporary fills during construction. Exact fill types and amounts would be determined once design is finalized, but impacts are anticipated to be permitted with a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 with Pre-construction Notification (PCN) for linear transportation projects from US Army Corps of Engineers. It is likely that a PCN would be required due to impacts associated with the wetland and impacts exceeding 0.1 acres or 300 linear feet at individual crossings. Preliminary design indicates that many of the stream crossings would be bridged, which would minimize or avoid potential fill impacts at these locations.
Floodplains
New rainfall data, referred to as Atlas 14, was released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in September 2018. Atlas 14 rainfall data, with increased rainfall values, has been incorporated in to the OHP hydrologic and hydraulic analysis (provided under separate cover). A result of incorporating the Atlas 14 data is the removal of one of the two originally proposed upstream detention ponds, the SH 71 pond, from the project design. The new data has also resulted in changes of elevations of several roadway locations at intersections with creeks.
The SH 71 pond was removed from the project design because, after incorporating the Atlas 14 rainfall data, the pond resulted in additional flooding (compared to existing) along Williamson Creek downstream of the pond and upstream of the SH 71 crossing, through a heavily-developed area of the creek. This additional flooding, not present in the pre-Atlas 14 modeling, is the result of additional peak flows and a change in peak flow timing between the outfalls of the SH 71 pond and an existing nearby City of Austin detention pond. The flows of this existing pond meet the flows of the SH 71 pond approximately 1,000’ downstream of the two ponds pond. The SH 71 pond delayed the peak flows leaving the pond by 6 minutes, compared to the existing conditions. This subtle shift caused the peak flows from the SH 71 pond to coincide with the peak flows form the existing City of Austin pond, resulting in an overall increase in peak flows at the confluence of the two ponds. This increase in peak flows resulted in the additional flooding downstream of the ponds and upstream of the SH 71 crossing.
Multiple options, including outfall and dam reconfiguration to both the SH 71 pond and the existing City of Austin pond, were considered to address the additional flooding in the Atlas-14 modeling. The only option that addressed the additional flooding without causing flood impacts in other areas was the removal of the SH 71 pond. The reductions in peak flows

(compared to existing) through the project area, while still substantial, are less when the SH 71 pond is removed. Proposed bridges and channels were modified to account for this increase in peak flows without creating impacts to off-site properties. Additionally, a reduction in potential impacts to jurisdictional waters and wetlands (S-11, Wetland 2, and Open Waters 1 and 2) was an added benefit to the removal of the SH 71 pond.
The Atlas 14 modeling indicates two areas of increased 100-year water surface elevations (compared to existing) outside the project right-of-way, which were not addressed in the Final EIS/ROD or Reevaluation #1. These two areas are labeled as “Area of Potential Flood Impact” in Attachment D. There are no other areas of increased 100-year water surface elevations outside the project right-of-way indicated by the modeling of the Atlas 14 data.
Groundwater and Edwards Aquifer
The Safe Drinking Water Act, the Edwards Aquifer Rules (30 TAC 213), and the TxDOT and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regulate project activities that have a potential to affect the Edwards Aquifer. The Final EIS/ROD and supporting material provided an in-depth analysis of the OHP project’s effects to groundwater and the Edwards Aquifer. No change to the baseline conditions for these resources have occurred as a result of the 2019 design revisions. A summary of these topics is included below.
The Edwards Aquifer includes three primary zones: the Contributing Zone, the Recharge Zone, and the Transition/Artesian Zone. The OHP Project crosses the Recharge and Contributing Zones. Within the project area, the Contributing Zone is located approximately 800 feet west of the intersection of US 290 and William Cannon Drive and the Recharge Zone is located to the east of the intersection of US 290 and William Cannon Drive (see Figure 3). As required by the TxDOT-TCEQ MOU, TxDOT completed coordination with the TCEQ for the OHP Project in May 2018. The TCEQ did not provide comments on the project or the EIS document. TxDOT has committed to a number of best management practices (BMPs) to protect water quality within the project area and a revised Preliminary Water Quality Analysis & Design Report has been prepared to address the water quality commitments, including TSS reductions resulting from the design modifications (KFA, 2019). Additionally, TxDOT and TCEQ met on July 31, 2019 to discuss permitting the OHP Project (KFA, 2019). At the meeting, it was agreed that a phased permitting approach would be acceptable; due to the fact that the project is located over both the Contributing Zone and the Recharge Zone, different phases will require a different Edwards Aquifer Protection Plans, either a Contributing Zone Plan or Water Pollution Abatement Plan. The revised commitments for obtaining compliance with the Edwards Aquifer Rules are included in the Preliminary Water Quality Analysis & Design Report, which is available for review at the TxDOT Austin District.

CONCLUSIONS This Water Resources Technical Addendum #2 has been prepared to document new ecological impacts resulting from the 2019 Reevaluation #2 design changes. The results of the additional analysis are summarized below:
• No additional water features were identified in the 2019 Reevaluation #2. Five water features were determined to no longer lie within the proposed project area.
• It is anticipated that a NWP 14 with PCN would be required for impacts at eight crossings.
No additional water resource commitments would be required in order to achieve NEPA clearance on the 2019 Reevaluation #2.
