Zebra mussels were first found in Texas waters in 2006 and have since been discovered in several lakes and rivers. In 2012, new regulations were passed requiring boats to drain all water before leaving lakes in the Red River basin and certain areas of the Trinity River due to findings of zebra mussels. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has been monitoring waters across the state, educating the public through awareness campaigns using various media, and working with local authorities to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.
This document discusses the threat of invasive zebra mussels spreading to Texas water bodies like Lake Conroe. Zebra mussels were first found in Texas in 2009 and can damage infrastructure, outcompete native species, and result in high mitigation costs. The document proposes actions like public education campaigns, monitoring, and researching control measures to prevent the spread of zebra mussels to Lake Conroe. Water chemistry factors that influence zebra mussel populations are also summarized.

San Jacinto River Authority Groundwater Reduction Program water line construction progress, The Woodlands, Conroe, Lake Conroe, Montgomery County, Texas
The Lake Report discusses the windy and dry conditions around Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston. Lake Conroe remains below normal levels due to drought and no rainfall. Evaporation rates are high under sunny, windy conditions. Lake Livingston remains slightly above normal levels, and the Trinity River Authority is releasing water from the dam. This will be the last report from the Lake Conroe Division Manager, as he announces his retirement after 30 years of service.
The document provides an update on construction projects for SJRA GRP Surface Water Facilities as of November 2012. It details that total costs so far are $42,874,840 with no change orders, and the total estimated cost is $190,078,395 against a budget of $191,000,000. It also notes that completion is scheduled for June 1, 2015 and includes photos showing progress including steel casing installation, rebar work, concrete pouring, and aerial views of the water treatment plant and pump station work zones as well as the raw water intake bridge connection.
The document summarizes current drought and reservoir conditions in Southeast Texas as of December 6, 2012. Lake Conroe's level continues a slight downward trend and is 3 feet below normal. Rainfall has had little effect due to dry soil conditions absorbing runoff. Lake Livingston is holding steady at 3/4 of a foot below normal. Rainfall in the area has been less than 1/2 inch but upstream rainfall could impact water levels. The document provides websites for more information on reservoir conditions from the managing authorities.
The document discusses lake levels in Southeast Texas following a drought. [1] Lake Conroe is almost 3 feet below normal levels but recent rains provide hope it can reach normal levels by spring. [2] Construction has begun on a new water intake structure and water treatment plant on Lake Conroe to provide surface water and reduce groundwater usage. [3] Heavy equipment will be visible on the lake for over a year during construction.
The document summarizes water levels in area lakes, noting that while July brought record rainfall to some parts of Southeast Texas, other areas received much less rain, resulting in varying water levels across lakes. Lake Conroe gained only half a foot of water in July and remains over two feet below normal. Lake Livingston is at normal levels. Smaller lakes with limited watersheds are suffering more from evaporation without substantial rainfall. Evaporation rates are high at around 1.25 inches per week, and the effects of the drought persist despite Southeast Texas no longer being in an official drought. Lake Conroe is reported at 198.77 feet and likely to recede without rain, while Lake Livingston is full at 130.
Here are the key differences in feasibility of using Catahoula water between an individual water system operator and a regional water system operator:
- An individual system has fewer economies of scale for treatment and infrastructure costs compared to a regional system. A regional system can spread costs over more customers.
- A regional system has greater flexibility to blend water sources (surface, brackish, reuse) compared to an individual system with limited sources. This provides more reliability.
- An individual system has more limited technical, financial and managerial resources to address long-term sustainability concerns compared to a regional system.
- A regional system can develop shared infrastructure like regional disposal facilities, which are often not feasible for an individual small system.
The Groundwater Reduction Plan Program Monthly Progress Report summarizes activities in February 2012 related to planning, scheduling, procurement, cost reporting, and quality assurance for the Groundwater Reduction Plan Program. Engineering and construction were ongoing. Procurements included solicitations, contract awards, and procedures. Cost reports provided budget and financial details. Quality assurance efforts ensured specifications were met. Various meetings were also held to discuss ongoing work.
Lake Conroe has regained over two feet of water level since the beginning of the year due to recent rain and more rain forecast in the coming weeks. The lake level is improving after reaching historic lows in 2011 due to exceptional drought conditions. While Lake Conroe has a relatively small watershed of 444 square miles, wet soil and regular precipitation are helping the water level recover. The forecast calls for a weakening of La Nina conditions by summer, which were primarily responsible for the extreme drought experienced in Texas last year. The current lake level is 194.60 feet above sea level.
The document announces a volunteer clean-up day for Lake Conroe on February 25th. Volunteers will gather at La Torretta Lake Resort & Spa at 9am to receive supplies like gloves and trash bags, then help clean up the lake. Volunteers are asked not to remove large non-hazardous items from the lake like logs or tires. Larger hazardous items can be disposed of properly by calling 936-588-1111.
Lake Livingston is nearly full after recent heavy rains ended a record drought. The higher water levels will benefit the fishery as flooded vegetation provides cover and food for fish. Lake Conroe has recovered less but ongoing rain may help further. A joint project removed hazardous stumps from Lake Conroe to improve safety. Current water levels and conditions are provided for both lakes as of January 24, 2012.

July 17, 2012 live specimens found in Lake
Ray Roberts
July 18, 2012 live specimens found in the
tailrace below Lake Ray Roberts.
5. New Regulations
May 17, 2012:
Law stating that persons who took the necessary precautions of
draining all water from their boats before leaving a listed water
body would not be in violation of state laws prohibiting the
possession of microscopic forms of harmful species. This new
regulation and the act of draining all water does not exempt
persons from the possession of adult or visible stages of zebra
mussels or other harmful species.
Applied to the Red River, including Lake Texoma, and Lake
Lavon.
July 30, 2012:
Emergency rule: All waters of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River
above the Lewisville Dam, including Lewisville and Ray Roberts.

Editor's Notes
The first documented case of zebra mussels in TX was in 2006 when a boat from Minnesota was transported to Lake Texoma. A vigilant employee at Highport Marina recognized the mussels on the boat as possible zebra mussels and knowing how devastating they could be he notified the local Game Warden. That boat was quarantined and cleaned prior to being allowed in the water and TPWD put out numerous press releases regarding the incident and even officially recognized the employee for his quick actions. Subsequently, four additional boats from out-of-state were intercepted and sanitized prior to being launched in Lake Texoma. However, on April 3 rd of 2009 the first live specimen in Texas waters was found in Lake Texoma. It was attached to a telephone cable that was laying in the water that went out to a private boat house. Upon this discovery we immediately notified the Oklahoma Dept of Wildlife Conservation, the US Army Corp of Engineers and several other agencies. We also deployed portland samplers in an effort to monitor for more zebra mussels. Over the past 2 years they have quickly expanded in both range and density throughout the entire lake.
Then as Dr. McMahon mentioned in his presentation, based upon the results of his sampling and DNA analyses, TPWD staff investigated Lake Ray Roberts on July 17th and confirmed the presence of zebra mussels; juvenile zebra mussels were found at several locations throughout the reservoir. The following day, July 18 th , TPWD staff investigated the tailrace below Lake Ray Roberts and confirmed the presence of ZM’s there as well. On July 18 th , we also had staff on Lake Lewisville checking settlement samplers, looking around marinas and searching the upper portion of Lake Lewisville where the Elm Fork of the Trinity River flows into the lake and we did not find any evidence of zebra mussels.
TPWD has been regulating harmful and potentially harmful fishes since as far back as 1967 and then around 1989-1990 that regulation was expanded to include harmful or potentially harmful shellfishes and aquatic plants. However, the larval form of zebra mussels are microscopic and not visible to the naked eye. And because Chris Churchill of the US Geological Survey documented zebra mussel veligers in Lake Texoma, even during the winter months, it meant that boaters and anglers using contaminated lakes could be illegally transporting zebra mussels at any time of the year and not realize it. Thus, on May 17, 2012, TPWD enacted a new law stating that persons who took the necessary precautions of draining all water from their boats and any other receptacle or system capable of containing lake water before leaving a water body that is listed under the regulation would not be in violation of state laws prohibiting their possession. This new regulation and the act of draining all water does not exempt boaters or transporters from laws governing the possession of adult or visible stages of zebra mussels or other harmful species. Initially this new regulation was enacted on the Red River, which included the TX side of Lake Texoma, and Lake Lavon. However, on July 30 th , our Executive Director, Carter Smith, by way of an emergency rule also added all waters of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River above the Lewisville Dam. Which means that any angler or boater now leaving Lake Ray Roberts or Lake Lewisville must also drain all water before hitting the road.
We are monitoring lakes across the state for the presence of zebra mussels using settlement samplers and simple shoreline inspections. We have developed PCR analysis techniques that will allow us to test lakes for ZM DNA. But because our lab is on a working hatchery and a river system not contaminated with zebra mussels there is obvious concern about possible contamination so we are working on finalizing our sample collection and handling procedures and HACCP plans. And because cross polarized light microscopy is one of the most accurate early detection methods, and because we will need to begin inspecting water samples collected by TPWD Game Wardens and State Park Officers for the presence of veligers as a result of the new regulation requiring boaters to drain all water before leaving a lake, we purchased the equipment and staff will be getting trained by Dr. McMahon in identifying zebra mussel larvae under the microscope.
We continue to work very closely with …. Over 80 TPWD staff, Army Corps of Engineers staff and marina owners/operators were trained by Bill Zook who is a nationally recognized expert in boat inspection and decontamination proceedures State Game Wardens and State Park Officers investigate violations Worked with ACOE to get Boaters Advisory Signs put up at the ramps on Texoma, Lavon, Ray Roberts and Lewisville Marina Owners and Operators and their staff are key partners in helping stop the spread of ZM’s across the State!!! Working with TXDOT to see if we cant get some ZM information into their Commercial Boat Hauling Permit Application Process and to see if they will notify us of when a Commercial Hauler applies for a permit to transport large boats into or around the state.
Last year TPWD and a number of partners consisting of River Authorities, Municipalities, Federal and State agencies kicked off a public awareness campaign. Here is a list of all the different outlets and promotional materials that have been developed and utilized.
Sent to 220,000 registered boaters on 8/26/11
Registered boaters – 90,000
Produced 600,000 with a grant from APHIS
37 buoys installed this spring at Texoma
I have to recognize our Public Awareness Campaign partners because without their support it would not be possible.
