General Project Information : Mud Creek Monitoring Locations
Mud Creek Monitoring Locations

The ANRA Environmental Staff has already begun monitoring and testing water quality in the Mud Creek Subwatershed in anticipation of the reservoir construction. It is important to know in advance if there are sources of pollution so steps can be taken to correct them prior to reservoir completion.

The testing is being funded by the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission under the Clean Rivers Program which is operated by ANRA in this basin. The program has set up five additional stations to look for a variety of pollutants.

Station Number Physical Description
10536 Mud Creek at FM 2064
10538 West Mud Creek at FM 3052
14477 Mud Crek at US 79
16586 Mud Creek at SH 110
17103 Mud Creek at SH 135
