The City Cleanup was Saturday. I didn't have a chance to go by Lucy Park as I was at Wild Bird Rescue, so I am not sure how many people were there. I can see a few places around the city where it appears there was some work done, but there are still plenty of places that are heavily littered. Please, if you are out for a walk, try to carry a bag and pick up what you see (I don't do this enough myself).
I went to the pubic hearing on the Region B draft water plan last night. I have read the plan and I asked a question at the hearing last night to be sure what I thought the plan said in an area was in fact the case and will be writing up my comments soon. I'll post the content on this blog in case others find them helpful.

New Draft Water Plan Available for Comment
The Region B Water Planning Group has released the draft 2010 water plan for public comment. When you open the plan, I suggest you do not print it, as it is 440 pages.
Public comments can be submitted on line or at the public hearing. The public hearing is April 13, 6:00 PM, at the Comanche Suites at the Clark Student Center on the Midwestern State University campus. Comments are due by June 18, 2010, according to the Red River Authority website.
During the last planning cycle in 2005, I was the only member of the public that spoke and mine was one of only 5 written comments received (one other member of the League of Women Voters, the Texas Water Development Board, Texas Parks and Wildlife and the National Wildlife Federation.) I have not yet finished reviewing the plan--it takes a awhile to read over 440 pages. However, once I do, I will be sharing my thoughts here, so visit back. If you can, please attend the public hearing, even if you don't intend to comment. It's a good place to get an overview, ask questions and hear what others think. Water is a precious resource and deserves our attention.
