disposal of the highly saline reject stream can result in increased TDS concentrations, depending on the
method and location of disposal. Based on these issues, the recommended strategy involving importation
of Lake Texoma water to Region C is anticipated to have no more than a "medium" impact on key water
quality parameters.
New Surface Water Sources
In general, the impact of the development of new surface water sources on key water quality parameters
will be similar to that of existing reservoir sources. All of the proposed reservoir sites identified as
potential Region C sources are located in the Red, Trinity, Sulphur, or Neches River Basins. As such, the
impacts on key water quality parameters of importing water from new reservoirs are likely to be similar
to the impacts of importing water from existing East Texas sources to the Trinity River Basin. (The
proposed reservoir in the Red River Basin, Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir, is on a low-TDS tributary of
the Red River.) All strategies involving the importation of water from new reservoirs to Trinity River Basin
reservoirs are anticipated to have no more than a "medium" impact on key water quality parameters.
One new surface water strategy involves the transfer of water between reservoirs that are both outside
of Region C. That is a recommended strategy for Dallas Water Utilities involving transfer of Lake Columbia
water to Lake Palestine. Another recommended strategy for Dallas Water Utilities is to use run-of-river
supplies from the Neches River operated as a system with Lake Palestine. Both of these strategies are
anticipated to have no more than a "medium" impact on water quality parameters.
Existing Groundwater Sources
Since none of the recommended strategies involving existing groundwater sources include blending of
groundwater within a supply reservoir, no significant impacts on key surface water quality parameters are
expected. Potential impacts on key water quality parameters resulting from alternative and
recommended strategies in this category are anticipated to be "low" or "medium low".
New Groundwater Sources
There are no new major groundwater sources included in the recommended water management
strategies for Region C. However, several alternative strategies propose obtaining water from
groundwater sources that are new to the region, including groundwater from Anderson, Wood, Upshur,
and Smith Counties. The potential receiving water body for groundwater from Wood, Upshur, and Smith
Counties is Lake Fork Reservoir (Dallas Water Utilities). Groundwater from these counties is drawn from
the Carrizo-Wilcox and Queen City aquifers and has a median TDS concentration that is higher than that2016 Region C Water Plan
