Status and Activities

Execution of I-Plan is being led by the Northeast Texas Municipal Water District in partnership with stakeholders in the region. Assessment in 2016 indicated that conditions have improved; however, dissolved oxygen concentrations remain below the criteria for support of aquatic life in the upper 3,700 acres of the lake. Status of TMDL implementation is available in the latest Cypress Creek Basin Highlights Report on the Water District’s website.

In 2013 and 2014, the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI) worked with stakeholders to evaluate and revise their I-Plan to continue their efforts in improving water quality.
