BRADY CREEK

WATERSHED PROTECTION PLAN (WPP)

IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT - Phase II

​​

Brady Creek has been impaired for low levels of dissolved oxygen since 2004. UCRA has received multiple funding opportunities to address the impairment. The projects have been  funded through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Nonpoint Source Management Program.  and are managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Nonpoint Source Pollution Program. UCRA's partners include local stakeholders and the City of Brady.

 

A Watershed Protection Plan (WPP) was approved in 2016. The goal of the WPP is to improve water quality within the impaired segment and to protect the integrity of the remaining watershed. UCRA received grant funding for the second phase of the WPP Implementation Project in September 2023. 

​

UCRA is currently implementing two of the management measures recommended in the WPP; the installation of a structural best management practice (BMP) and targeted outreach and education. The effectiveness of the BMP be will be assessed through stormwater monitoring and annual load reductions will be estimated.  ​​All outreach efforts are currently in progress.
