Water districts consider alternative supply options for extended drought
Statewide reservoir capacity is down more than 12%.
A year after greater-than-normal precipitation pulled North Texas out of a prolonged, heat-induced drought, higher-than-normal temperatures may soon have the region clamoring for water again.
Rainfall deficits have steadily grown since early April, and area lake levels have followed suit. Lavon Lake, a major water source for North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) member cities, is about 9-1/2 feet below its ideal level of 492 feet. Lake levels have been dropping from that mark since May 18.
"Anytime reservoir levels fall below the conservation pool, we're considered in drought conditions," said Denise Hickey, NTMWD spokesperson. "While we're much better than a year ago, we're still in a drought situation."
NTMWD is the water supplier for 13 cities in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Rockwall, Kaufman, Hunt, Hopkins, and Rains counties in North Central Texas. It uses water from reservoirs at Lavon Lake and Jim Chapman Lake, among other locations. Its largest source, Lake Texoma, has been offline since 2009 because of invasive zebra mussels. With water from the Sabine River Authority and the East Fork Raw Water Supply Project, the district provides water to more than 1.3 million people. But it relies on certain lake levels to maintain effective storage, regulation, and controlled release of that water.
The reservoir's top section is a flood pool, operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), which stores rain runoff to prevent flooding. When it rains, the COE can release some water to fill the water conservation pool, to which water districts have state-allocated access. A lake is considered full when the conservation pool is at its optimum level -- of which all area lakes are short.
"Our water restrictions will remain at Stage 2 for now, because typically fall and spring see heavy rains that replace the reservoir supply," Hickey said. "If we don't get those rains, we'll have to evaluate our water supplies and may have to strengthen restrictions."
As for that replacement rain: One futile "heavy rain" season down, one to go.
Jamie Gudmestad, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service (NWS), said in August that weather and climate models showed a 30 to 40% chance of greater-than-normal precipitation from November to February.
But North Texas saw no measurable rainfall last month, and, coupled with a very dry October, eight straight months of precipitation deficits have exceeded 10 inches across the region, according to a recent NWS 2012-13 Winter Outlook report.
Statewide reservoir capacity has dropped more than 12%, to 64%, over the past six months. Though capacity remains about 6% higher than it was this time last year, inadequate rainfall has led to a steady decline for North Texas lakes typically healthier than lakes elsewhere around the state, the report says.
The Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD), which services all of Denton County and portions of Collin and Dallas counties, is facing the same situation. Water sources Lewisville Lake, Ray Roberts Lake, and Jim Chapman Lake are below their optimum levels: Lewisville Lake is about 6 ½ feet below, Ray Roberts Lake is about 7 feet below, and Jim Chapman Lake is nearly 5 feet short.
"The dryness and above-normal temperatures are not typical for this time of year," said Jason Pierce, UTRWD watershed and contract services manager. "We have not seen the rains that bring lakes back up to a reasonable level. It emphasizes the need and importance of water conservation."
UTRWD customers are under Stage 1 restrictions, but Pierce said the district is "carefully watching and monitoring lake levels." If necessary rain doesn't fall on the area but does fall farther east, that water drains into Jim Chapman Lake and keeps the UTRWD with a source to tap into, he said.
Levels are also low at Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) lakes, which provide water for most of Dallas County and small portions of Collin, Denton, Kaufman, Ellis, and Tarrant counties. Grapevine Lake, Lake Ray Hubbard, Lake Tawakoni, and Lake Fork are all at least 4 feet lower than ideal height -- accounting for about 17% depletion in available water -- according to DWU figures.
The UTRWD is in the permitting process for adding Lake Ralph Hall to its sources and will come to a critical point in that 10-year process in January, Pierce said. According to the water district's projections, it could need Lake Ralph Hall by around 2025 to avoid a serious water shortage -- a situation that extended drought could hasten it toward.
Natural relief is not in the winter forecast. Normal precipitation levels expected through February wouldn't alleviate drought conditions given the lack of rain in recent months. Prevailing El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-neutral conditions -- which historically mean less precipitation -- and a trend toward warmer winters will likely lead to an even drier region, the NWS says.
Such a climate isn't conducive for an area already plagued by drought. Dry fall months have forced warm-season vegetation into early dormancy, thus keeping away cold-season grasses.
"Without adequate precipitation this winter, the threat of wildfires will persist, particularly on days with strong winds and low humidity," the NWS says.

Can the normal elevation of Lavon be incrased to 500 instead of the 492 it is currently at to help with this reoccurring situation. Any in crease in the normal elevation of the lake would help.

Memorial Day Weekend in Tempe
Posted by: Toni
May 15, 2013
The temperatures have reached 100 degrees in Tempe, but to me, summer doesn't officially start until Memorial Day weekend. If you're going to be in my favorite city over the holiday, you might have plans to go to Arizona Mills, Tempe Marketplace, Mill Avenue and Tempe Town Lake. All excellent choices, for sure. But, if you want to try something new, here are a few ideas for you.
Take a Vacation at a Tempe hotel – Many Tempe hotels are offering great deals this summer. If you're coming to Tempe this summer, or you're a local who could use a mini-vacation, check out our special offers page for ideas and discounts.
Try a new restaurant – There are a few tasty new places to try, such as Tempe's Front Porch, Hummus Xpress and Gringo Star Street Bar. There are also many places that may be on your list, but you haven't had the chance to try them yet. A few of my favorite established local spots are Essence Bakery & Café, Cornish Pasty Co. and Casey Moore's Oyster House.
Oceanside Ice Arena – Ice skating in the desert is possible at Tempe's Oceanside Ice Arena. Located near Big Surf Waterpark, Oceanside is an excellent place to cool off and pretend, for an hour or so, that the weather is chilly once again. Open skating hours are 7-9 p.m. on Saturday, May 25 and 3-5 p.m. on Sunday, May 26.
Ride the Waves at Big Surf – Big Surf Waterpark is now open every weekend, but starting on May 25 it will be open every single day from through August 4. Zoom down slides like the White Serpentine and the Black Hole, soak up the sun on Waikiki Beach or splash with the smallest swimmers at Captain Cook's Landing. Surfing and boogie boarding sessions are also available daily.
Plan a picnic – I haven't planned a picnic in a while, but it sure sounds like fun. Grab a blanket, a bocce ball set or a Frisbee and pick up sandwiches from Sacks. There are lots of scenic parks in Tempe with plenty of space to play – see a full list here.
Movies in the Park – Speaking of parks, go to Kiwanis Park on May 24 and see "Finding Nemo" with the whole family. This free event starts at dusk (approximately 7 p.m.). Bring a blanket and snacks (or buy a few treats on site) and relax. Visit the City of Tempe website for the full calendar of movies.
Whether you're a local or a visitor, you're sure to have a fun Memorial Day in Tempe. For even more ideas, visit www.tempetourism.com.

DescriptionThe Ferris Mountains boast limestone palisades up to 450 feet high. The cliff band (or bands) are 4 or 5 miles long. I don't know of any development in the area except one very recent foray to them by myself and a friend (please post any other information you might have). The cliffs face south and the rock is generally quite clean, albeit sparsely featured on some faces. This area is very remote and will require a motivated team to develop new routes. Getting ThereFrom Rawlins, WY, travel northwest on US Highway 287 about 45 miles. The cliffs are visible to the north from the highway. Turn off just before milepost 36 on a dirt road to the right with two black mailboxes and a yellow 55 gallon drum. This approach avoids driving through some heinous sand dunes. Stay on this road passing just near a ranch house (the ranchers are friendly but have asked that you stop and let them know what you are doing so you don't startle their cows by mistake) and head for the palisades. There are a few different roads that go to the cliffs, pick one and start adventuring. 1 Total Routes

Due to limited floor framing depth, the homeowner would like me to locate the P trap away from the shower drain so as to not require a soffit in the room below. Due to limited headroom above in the shower, the shower pan can not be raised to effectively increase the floor framing depth. The shower drain would connect to a 2" sweep 90 and then run with the required slope to the P-trap, about 5 ish feet, as I understand would be allowed with a wet arm drain to a vented stack. Yes, I understand that even with a wet arm, the P-trap is conventionally below the fixture. Even if this does not meet code, what problems are likely to arise?
A long arm to the p-trap means a likely smelly installation...festering hair, dead skin, soap scum, etc. sitting in the arm which would normally be blocked by the seal in the trap. Worse comes to worse, you can modify the joist structure to accommodate the trap where it should be.

painting a sand-textured ceiling?
hi everyone...
we have a 2nd floor accessory apartment and a noisy 18 month old.... so we really need to soundproof. The job will be massive (soundproofing 2nd floor shared wall, and adding a 2nd layer of drywall with green glue to the 1st floor ceiling). We're hiring pro's to do this, becuase we don't have the time to do it properly with our jobs and our kid. That being said, we also don't have the budget to hire painters. We have a reasonable amount of painting experinece, so we decided to do all of the painting ourselves. We never, however, painted a sand-textured ceiling. We have them throughout the home, so it's needed. Our contractor is a very reputable drywall guy, so everything will be properly taped and prepped. *** we are NOT painting the walls, so we want to be as neat as possible*** We intend to do a bit of sanding, if necessary, and then a coat of primer. Then what should we do for the textured paint? I searched this site for prior threads, and I saw one person recommend mixing silica in to standard ceiling paint, stirring regularly, and applying with a 1/2" nap roller. I also saw another person recommend using zinsser roll-a-tex. Oh, I should mention that we already know that paint/primer is never something to cut corners with, so we prefer to get all of our paint/primer at sherwin williams... although if many people recommend the roll-a tex, we'll consider that too. Do you agree with either prior poster, or do you have your own recommendation? thanks for your advice! |

You can purchse Sherwin Williams Sandscapes, which is paint tinted to the color of your choice with texture mixed in it all ready to give you a sand texture when applied. Use a 3/4 inch nap roller.

From the hilariously demented mind of Wes Anderson ('Rushmore') comes this Oscar(R)-nominated tale set on an island in 1965. On one side is a group of Khaki Scouts at summer camp; on the other is the dysfunctional Bishop family. When clever, but disliked scout Sam Shakusky runs off with the Bishop's brainy daughter Suzy, it sets off a comical search as a huge storm approaches.
Moonrise Kingdom is the new movie directed by two-time Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Rushmore). Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff, Captain Sharp. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader, Scout Master Ward. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop.

CANTON, N.Y. -- When you hear the Christmas classic "I'll Be Home for Christmas" you probably aren't thinking of St. Lawrence University, but a portion of the proceeds of every purchase of that Christmas hit goes to the college.
That is thanks to the song's composer, J. Kimmel Gannon, a 1924 St. Lawrence graduate. In his will, he left 30 percent of all royalties from all his works to his alma mater. Whether it's the original recorded by Bing Crosby or a new recording by Blake Shelton, every time the song is downloaded or used in a movie or on TV, St. Lawrence receives royalties. "For example, it was used in an episode of the TV show 'MASH,' every time that episode of 'MASH' is shown on any channel on any TV station anywhere around the world, we get a royalty," said Macreena Doyle, coordinator of news services at St. Lawrence University.
So far this year, St. Lawrence University has made over $35,000 since January and that's not including this holiday season.
