Recreational-Survey Report	Preliminary report of field observations and surveys will be posted to the Web when completed.
Public Review of Recreational-Survey Report	The TCEQ has completed a report* of its Recreational Use Attainability Analysis for Brazos River Basin streams and the TCEQ is now soliciting public comment to assist in making a recommendation. Public input is very important and will ensure we have local knowledge and the most accurate information to identify the appropriate recreational use of the water body. Once the comment period closes, TCEQ will use the comments to make the most informed recommendation for the recreational use category and criteria to be included in the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards. The TCEQ will not issue a formal response to the comments at this stage. There will be another comment period after the recommendation on recreational use has been published. Comments can be submitted via email to standards@tceq.texas.gov or by mail to: Katherine Lavelle TCEQ MC-234 P.O. Box 13087 Austin, TX 78711 *Note: The interview forms containing personal information are not posted with the report. TCEQ privacy policy
TCEQ Recommendations	Instructions for submitting public comments can be found here. There will be a 30 day public comment period closing on April 29, 2016 for the following water bodies: Indian Creek Sims Creek Little Duffau Creek Goose Branch North Fork Upper North Bosque River Scarborough Creek Unnamed Tributary of Scarborough Creek The public comment period is closed for the following water bodies: Davidson Creek Nolan Creek/South Nolan Creek Sweetwater Creek Leon River Below Leon Reservoir Still Creek Mankins Branch Upper North Bosque River Allen’s Creek Duncan Creek Cottonwood Branch Thompson Creek Big Creek Wasp Creek Willis Creek Armstrong Creek Unnamed Tributary to Goose Branch Woodhollow Branch Leon River Below Proctor Lake Resley Creek South Leon River Pecan Creek Indian Creek Plum Creek Walnut Creek
Public Comment on TCEQ Recommendations	The public will have an opportunity to comment on the TCEQ’s recommendations. The recommendations will be published for comment in: (1) the Texas Integrated Report, (2) a Total Maximum Daily Load, or (3) a revision to the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards.
Final Outcome	Leon River Below Proctor Lake will retain its designated use of primary contact recreation. Resley Creek has been revised to a designated use of secondary contact recreation 2. South Leon River has been revised to a designated use of secondary contact recreation 1. Pecan Creek will retain its designated use of primary contact recreation. Indian Creek has been revised to a designated use of secondary contact recreation 1. Plum Creek will retain its designated use of primary contact recreation. Walnut Creek has been revised to a designated use of secondary contact recreation 2.
