Purchased in December 2012 and located on State Highway 35, approximately 13 mules southwest of Port Lavaca, this 6,434-acre park is comprised of a diverse assemblage of coastal prairie, salt flats, and woodlands that supports a wide range of plant and animal species and the largest natural freshwater lake entirely in Texas. Almost six million Texans live within a 3-4 hour drive of Green Lake. The park will be a gathering place for residents, a place to learn about local ecosystems; and a regional draw for tourists and visitors. Once developed, the property will be a major asset for Calhoun County. The Green Lake property contains unique types of habitat that are not normally seen along the Texas Coast. An area of shell -based bottomland habitat is a previously un-described vegetation type for Texas and the Gulf Coast. Sections along the lake shore consist of Coastal Bend Slope Forest, a rare forest type that is a blend of eastern deciduous forests from eastern Texas and influences from the riparian woodlands of central and southern Texas. Two unique Coastal Bend Ox-bows and four natural marsh ponds can also be found on the property. Finding all these unusual features at one location makes Green Lake County Park a unique destination for future park visitors. Bird counts have been conducted regularly at Green Lake since April 2013. To date, these counts have identified over 190 species of birds on the property, including the endangered Whooping Crane, Piping Plover, and Bald Eagle. An island rookery supports at least 200 pairs of nesting birds each year. The dense marsh and thick shrubland habitat are utilized by hundreds of marsh and songbirds, and many different migratory bird species pass through the property during spring and fall migrations. Startingin 2013, the County formedpartnerships with the National Park Service's Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program, local citizens, and environmental stakeholder groups to develop a vision for the park. In 2014, nearly 400 county residents, business owners, and frequent visitors to Calhoun County responded to a written survey on their hopes and concerns for the park. Insights gained from that survey were used to help guide the planning process and to prioritize project phasing. The survey results showed a strong preference for activities that an entire family could enjoy together, such as fishing, camping, and picnicking. Boating was listed as a preferred fishing option and as a way to explore the park. Wildlife viewing and education were highly valued over hiking, biking, and hunting. A group picnic shelter, a fishing pier, and a campground area were the most requested amenities. In addition to.gathering public input, Calhoun County also worked closely with a group of natural resource advisors to ensure that plans for public access did not jeopardize the site's unique natural resources. These advisors helped identify sensitive habitat areas and invasive species threats, and provided guidance on the placement and management of park facilities. Their insights helped craft development proposals that will both protect and enhance the habitats found at Green Lake. This master plan was thus developed by members of the community, stakeholder representatives, county staff, and natural resource advisors to serve as a guide for providing the recreational opportunities that Calhoun County residents desire while also protecting and showcasing Green Lake's many natural assets. k t 6 { 1 it { 54 Yll ;lace fo.r residents, a lace,! to learn about local ecosystems, and a re Tonal draz� for tourists and j j �t visitors. g h7 �rj. ��,'1 •• •t a �I� �.a• 1� �Zi 431 - • ��RG •°��. .. �.��r� •.��• • 1 �.

Recommended improvements include: • Development of a 100-site campground with tent and RV sites, restrooms, and other suitable infrastructure • Construction of a group picnic shelter and picnicking areas, with shade shelters, barbecue grills, and other amenities • Development of a new boat ramp, fishing pier, and associated parking facilities • Placement of 'bird blinds, observation towers, and other amenities that will higlihight the incredible resources at Green Lake • Creation of walling trails highlighting unique and picturesque parts of the property o Limited Recreation Zone 80 acres where limited recreational access will be the primary activity This linear parkland along the levee separating Green Lake and the Victoria Barge Canal holds promise for linuted, low -impact recreation such as walking trails, small picnicking areas, and bank fishing. Recommended improvements include: Development of walking trails, viewing areas, and bank fishing access points that will allow visitors to experience both Green Lake and the Victoria Barge Canal Construction of a roadway and small parking area along the southern end of the levee, to provide improved access to this zone Development of'pierric.areas with shade structures, barbecue gQrills, and other amenities OEM ABOUT CALHOUN COUNTY, TEXAS Located along the Texas mid -coast between Houston and Corpus Christi, Calhoun County spreads over 1,000 square miles along San Antonio, Espiritu Santo, Lavaca, and Matagorda Bays. The county is home to 21,797 residents (2014 estimate), making up roughly 7,900 households. As a primarily rural county, Calhoun County has a population density of — 42 people per square mile. Major towns in the county include Port Lavaca, Seadrift, and Port O'Connor. Victoria (population 65,098) is the nearest major city, approximately 15 miles north of the county line. 9 Green Lake is located near the western edge of Calhoun County, approximately 13 miles southwest of Port Lavaca, near the intersection of State Highway 35 and the Victoria Barge Canal. The lake was initially formed as a northern inlet of San Antonio Bay. As the Guadalupe River shifted westward about 2,500 years ago, it deposited silt that eventually created a natural delta. U PARK DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND By 2,200 years ago, this delta extended completely across the bay, severing the northern extension from the bay system and forming the present-day Green Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake located entirely in Texas. The Green Lake property is bordered by the Victoria Barge Canal to the north and east; by State Hwy 35 to the south; and by Green Lake County Parr Boundary private property and Guadalupe Blanco -River Trust property to the south and west. The water in Green Lake is mostly overflow from the Guadalupe River. The bottom is generally flat and averages about 4 feet (1.2 m) in depth. The lake is about 13 miles (21 kin) in circumference and about 2 miles (3.2 km) wide. Whenever the lake rises above average height due to river overflow or excessive rain, the lake overflows into Hog and Goff Bayous, which feed the San Antonio Bay system. As part of the Guadalupe River Delta, Green Lake affects the health of Mission Lake, Guadalupe Bay, and San Antonio Bay. Freshwater inflow, both in terms of quality and quantity, are crucial to the health of the bay system and to the extensive oyster, shrimp, and finfish commercial fisheries in the bays. YELLOW -CROWNED NIGHT HERON SUSAN RILEY 10 Martin De Leon established a colony in the Green Lake area in 1824 when Texas was still a part of Mexico. De Leon was one of several empresarios in Texas who were granted colonization contracts under the Mexican government. The colonists established claims near the bluff of the lake, but ignored the lake itself and the Guadalupe River bottomland. After the war with Mexico, everyone who had fought for Texas was given free land. The Traylor Ranch was formed as a result of this benefit and received the unclaimed land that surrounded Green Lake. A surveyor named L. A. Gueringer was hired in 1912 to partition off Traylor Ranch. While doing the survey, Gueringer noticed there was no state patent on the lake, which created a vacancy in the survey. Gueringer applied to the Texas General Land Office for a patent for the vacancy, but did not receive a response. He therefore divided the Iand into two sections and included their measurements in his final survey. The north section became part of the Welder Ranch. PARK DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Vacant land normally belongs to the State, and in 1917 state officials sued the Welder Ranch for ownership of the lake bottomland. The Welders claimed ownership based on the Stream Act, which said that if a stream ran dry, the adjacent landowners owned to the middle of the stream. Green Lake frequently ran dry during this time period. There were even stories of an abandoned steam plow in the lake, caught by a sudden rise of the river. The court ruled that the Act did not apply to a water body of this size. The lake was declared state property and put up for sale. The Kenyon Estate eventually purchased it. Kenyon heirs owned the lake until 1968, when the Indianola Company bought the lake and surrounding areas for investment purposes. The Indianola Company was liquidated in,1983, but retained Green Lake and sections of adjoining land. Calhoun County obtained two grants from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under its Coastal Impact Assistance Program to purchase Green Lake. The Indianola Liquidated Trust sold the property to Calhoun County in December 2012 for $3.5 million. The purchase consisted of 6,434 acres: 5,420 acres of open water, 864 acres of ephemerally inundated lowlands and 150 acres of wooded/coastal prairie uplands. RESIDENTS AT GREEN LAKE, NORMA PRIEDKICH, OTAER CONSERVATION Calhoun County has a number of significant natural and recreational resources within or adjacent to its boundaries. These include: ARANSAS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE • Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). The winter home of the only wild flock of endangered Whooping Cranes, the refuge is surrounded by several shallow bays that support a range of habitat types, including marshes, oak savannah, sandy prairies, and oak woodlands. These coastal woodlots provide important habitat for many species of wildlife, including neotropical birds migrating between North and Central America. • Guadalupe -Blanco River Trust -owned land. The Trust owns approximately 640 acres of coastal habitat, riparian forest and floodplain to the south of Green Lake, The property is comprised of approximately 93% palustrine wetlands and four miles of riparian Stream. 12 ;.i GUADALUPE DELTA WMA • Guadalupe Delta Wildlife Management Area (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department). Comprised of four units totaling —7,400 acres, this wildlife management area protects. important freshwater marshes. Public hunting is permitted for waterfowl and migratory shore birds-, alligators, and other wetland wildlife. MATAGORDA ISLAND r i tP'H Vtl� R � Q Y911�OJ it ti �" • Matagorda Island Wildlife Management Area (Texas General Land Office and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Consisting of 56,688 acres of offshore barrier island and bayside marshes, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department manages this property as the Matagorda Island National Wildlife Refuge and a State Natural Area. The 38-mile island varies in width from less than a mile to about four and a half miles, and supports a wide variety of migratory birds, white-tailed deer, alligators and other wildlife. • Powderhorn Ranch (Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation). Purchased in August 2014, the 17,351-acre ranch is expected to become a state park and wildlife management area. Comprised of unspoiled forests of coastal live oak and thousands of acresof freshwater wetlands and salt marshes, the property is perfect habitat for hunting, fishing, hiking, paddling and bird watching.

Soil 'rypes NATURAL RESOURCES The 6,434-acre Green Lake property is a diverse assemblage of coastal prairie, salt flats, woodlands, and open water that supports a wide range of plant and animal species. The —1,000 acres of land on the property can be divided into three relatively distinct sections: (1) The southwestern edge of - the property, fronting on State Hwy 35, includes 800+ acres of s seasonally inundated floodplain ° salt flats and wetlands, overlayed Topography of Green Lake Park l.2a"d Me,111 Clary• lta:rsla.Cor�R Carlry'c%91%Am Cs:ash-Col[Hwmpl}% I -a SSslnpe ME Vcl'vcco Gay Lsa"w UF)'0.1\"o }loge "W Toll¢C¢r Flna Saaepl aam tncw on Austwell and Velasco clay soils. These areas are approximately 3-5 feet above sea level. (2) The property includes a dry upland area, approximately 35 feet above sea level and —150 acres in size, immediately east of the salt flats. This area is characterized by a —30-foot tall bluff, running roughly north -south, rising up from the bottoinland. This area is overlayed primarily on Laewest clay and Dacosta-Contee complex soils, with a small area of Telferner Fine Sandy Loam. (3) The third and final portion of the property is a —2.7-mile long levee that separates Green Lake and the Victoria Barge Canal, along the property's eastern boundary. The levee ranges from 100-400 feet wide with a caliche, single -lane roadway along its spine. 13 Green Lake is characterized by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as a natural depression. This "natural depression" can hold up to 20,000 acre-feet of water, but is estimated to contain approximately 16,000 to 18,000 acre-feetin recent years. Although the drainage area of the lake historically was —56 square miles, the construction of the Victoria Barge Canal in the early 1960s reduced it to only 19 square miles. See the image above for a map of the lake's current drainage area. The reduction in the lake's watershed has not significantly impacted inflows to the lake, however. The majority of these inflows are still contributed by overflow from the Guadalupe River at river BILL HARVEY levels over 6,000 cfs. Periodic overflows allow the lake to maintain a fairly consistent elevation, except during periods of infrequent overflow from the river, extreme droughts, and floods. Anecdotes suggest that Green Lake has run completely dry at points in the past. During times of flooding, Green Lake overflows out of a depression along the southeast shore of the lake and into either the GBRA diversion canal or Goff Bayou. See Appendix A for further information. 14 The Green Lake property includes a diverse assemblage of plant communities. While the maj ority of the property is a large, shallow lake with minimal vegetation (due to turbidity and wind -driven mixing), the — 1,000 acres of land include coastal prairie, salt flats and marshes, and scattered woodlands. These assemblages are driven by the range of soil types, slopes, soil moisture, and the historic use of the property. In March 2013, Jason Singhurst and Dr. Brent Ortego with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department conducted an ecological survey of Green Lake terrestrial plant communities. According to this study (included as Appendix B), major plant assemblages on the property include: COASTAL BEND CHENIER A small area of Coastal Bend Chenier runs along the southeastern edge of the lake and separates the low- lying floodplain from the lake. This habitat type sits atop a linear shell ridge that forms a natural terrace. The shell -based bottomland habitat was previously an un-described vegetation type for Texas and the Gulf Coast --malting this a unique destination for Green Lake visitors. This plant community is dominated by bottomland hardwoods and follows the majority of the southern lake edge. The dominant species include green ash, sugarberry, black willow, great leadtree, sweet acacia, and Jerusalem thorn. The major understory species include palmetto, Carolina wolfberry, lime pricldyash, eastern baccharis, false indigo bush, and bushy seaside tansy. 9 PARK DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND FLOOOPLAIN SALT FLATS, MARSH PONDS, AND OXBOW LAKES Much of the terrestrial property at Green Lake is a low-lying floodplain, bisected by Goff Bayou, which lies between the lake and State Highway 35. This area is extremely flat, infrequently flooded, and interspersed with salt flats (due to hypersaline soils). The plant community is dominated by gulf cordgrass, but also includes shoregrass, saltgrass, wolfberry, and seaside daisy. Four natural marsh ponds occur in this landscape. These isolated wetlands are dominated by panicgrass, cutgrass, sand spikesedge, and California bulrush. The property's large floodplain also includes two unique Coastal Bend Ox-bows. These wetland environments typically contain permanent freshwater, and are thus utilized by a range of wildlife, including birds, amphibians, and invertebrates. These communities are dominated by green ash, black willow, swamp privet, button bush,, and palmetto. PHOTO CRED: SALT FLATS (BOTTOM RIGHT) BILL HARVEY LIVE OAK SAND TERRACE The property has one small area of Live Oak Sand Terrace, located roughly in the center of the 150- acre upland area. This habitat type, overlaid on fine sandy soils, is dominated by coastal live oak, sugarberry, anacua, and gum bully. SPOIL UNIT The upland area of the property also includes a large spoil unit, leftover from construction and dredging of the Victoria Barge Canal. This large area is characterized by a high berm that rings its perimeter. Currently, the spoil unit has been invaded by a dense shrubland thicket dominated by mesquite, huisache, Jerusalem thorn, and eastern baccharis. PARK DESCRIPTION AN'D BACKGROUND COASTAL BEND SLOPE FOREST This rare forest type is a blend of eastern deciduous forests from eastern Texas and influences from the riparian woodlands of central and southern Texas. On the Green Lake property, Coastal Bend Slope Forests form a linear band along the northeastern side of the lake, on erosive slopes of 3-8%. They are extremely diverse and provide important habitat for migrating Neotropical bird species. This plant community is dominated by cedar elm, anacua, coastal live oak, sugarberry, and gum bully. The understory woody plant layer is dominated by lime pricklyash, Texas torchwood, Texas persimmon, desert olive, blackbrush, red mulberry, and infrequent occurrence of bois d' arc. COASTAL PRAIRE UPLANDS Coastal prairie would have historically made up the highest proportion of the Green Lake property's upland areas. However, because of extensive grazing on the property, these areas are now dominated by non-native grasses, specifically K.R. bluestem (and a smaller portion with Bermudagrass). These uplands are also coveredwith early successional shrubs such as mesquite, huisache, desert olive, spiny hackberry, lie prickly ash, Brazilian bluewood, Texas persimmon, and gummy bumelia. Woody plant control and/ or prescribed burning will be necessary in order to maintain these open prairies and prevent conversion to a thicket shrubland. 16 AQUATIC VEGETATION PARK DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Green Lake Exotic Aquatic Vegetation Map 2013 ......... ............................. .... ....

Green Lake's diversity of habitat types provides opportunities for a number of exotic, invasive species to colonize the property. These invasives (both native and exotic) could significantly alter many of the property's unique habitat types. Huisache and mesquite, for example, will completely colonize the property's open prairies if left unchecked. Several studies were done to catalog the extent of the invasive species threat at Green Lake. The Invasive Species Management Plan highlights the major threats and methods_ for controlling them.

To date, these counts have identified over 190 species of birds on the property. Endangered Whooping Crane and Piping Plover were both found using Green Lake as a stopping area after a recent drought caused a lowering of the lake level to less than one foot. Often, Whooping Crane can be spotted on their way to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. Whooping Crane annually migrate between Canada and Texas. They begin their fall migration south to Texas in mid -September and begin their spring migration north to Canada in late March or early April.

Waterfowl occur in ponds and drainages within these wetlands. The floodplain also supports a variety of raptors, which include Bald Eagle, Osprey, Northern Harrier, Red -shouldered Hawk, and Red-tailed Hawk. Resource experts have advised that portions of these floodplain areas could be successfully converted into waterfowl impoundments. The lowland wetlands (including marsh ponds and Coastal Bend Ox-bows) are utilized by ducks and a variety of marsh birds, indicating that they have value for wildlife. Small strips of trees bordering Goff Bayou and the GBRA diversion canal provide habitat for songbirds. Riparian woodlands within the floodplain are used extensively by passerines both as residents and as migrants. Open Water, Lake Island, and Shoreline Green Lake is generally too turbidto support submergent vegetation, but still holds a low density of waterbirds, including waterfowl, pelicans, cormorants, gulls, terns, and grebe. Due to the size of the lake, the low density equates to a large number of waterbirds overall. The lake margin, which is made up mostly of cutgrass and bullwhip, supports a few rails and other marsh birds. One of the most interesting birding sites on the property is an old oil wellpad that creates a —0.4-acre island. This island serves as rookery that supports at least 200 pairs of nesting birds each year, and is usually surrounded by alligators during breeding season. Upland Prairie and Woodlands While non-native grasslands (including mottes and scattered trees) make up the largest portion of the upland area, these areas primarily support resident birds in low densities. The Coastal Bend Slope Forest that rings the eastern edge of the lake is the primary area for migrating songbirds on the property. i PARK DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND �❖rmar,ti BLACK-NECKEU SIILI BIRD PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY SUSAN RILEY, BRENT ORTEGO, AND BILL HARVEY 21 r,, �, _� ,�.._ i �+ _} � .i.. � ,�u i' AQUATIC SPECIES PARK DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND I AMERICAN ALLIGATOR The Green Lake property benefits from access to both freshwater Green Lake and the saltwater Victoria Barge Canal, providing fishing opportunities that are unique in Calhoun County.

Additionally, an elevated 20' x 24' temporary office structure and a small restroom have been placed on the bluff. These temporary structures will be removed after permanent buildings and visitor infrastructure are constructed. The property also includes an extensive network of formal and informal roadways. The majority of these are made up of single -lane caliche roads, and many are partially impassable during times of flooding or heavy rain. 24 TEMPORARY STRUCTURE LA I In August 2013, Calhoun County, assisted by Smartt Grants, applied for planning assistance from the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) Program of the National Park Service. The RTCA program PROCESS provides free planning assistance to community -led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects across the nation. Because of the project's goals to expand recreational access, protect natural resources, and engage local community members, Calhoun County was awarded RTCA assistance beginning in March 2014. The planning process that followed sought to: (1) establish the site constraints and necessary limits needed.to protect the property's natural resources; (2) understand the recreational needs of Calhoun County residents, visitors, and business owners; (3) determine potential site designs that provide recreational amenities at Green Lake while protecting natural resources; and . (4) identify the management and implementation strategies necessary to build and operate Green Lake as a county park. _ o CITIZEN AND NATURAL RESOURCE ADVISORY COMMITTEES . - Two informal advisory committees were established at the outset of the planning process in order to guide planning efforts, evaluate proposals, and represent the wide range of stakeholders that have an interest in, or expertise related to, Green Lake. The Natural Resource Advisory Committee was comprised of representatives of local park or conservation organizations, scientists and natural resource experts, and other individuals who could provide guidance on the management of Green Lake's abundant natural resources. Individuals who participated with this group included: • Mary Belle Meitzen, Calhoun County Historical Commission • Todd Merendino, Ducks Unlimited • Tommy Hill, Guadalupe -Blanco RiverAuthority • Wilfred Forth, Guadalupe -Blanco River Authority • Tommy Schulte, Guadalupe -Blanco RiverAuthoriiy • Todd Uotteler, Guadalupe -Blanco River Authority • Jeff Crosby, Guadalupe -Blanca River Trust • Dan Alonso, San Antonio Bay Foundation • James Dodson, San Antonio Bay Partnership • Mark Dumesnil, The Nature Conservancy • Kirk Feuerbacher, The Nature Conservancy • Norman Boyd, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department - • John Findeisen, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department • Kevin Kriegel, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department • Brent Ortego, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department • Len Polasek, Texas Parks & lzldlife Department • Jason Singhurst, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department • Beau Hardegree, US. Fish & Wldlife Service MASTER PLANNING PROCESS The Citizen Advisory Committee was established to provide a diverse range of viewpoints by potential future park users. The Citizen Advisory Committee was critical for establishing the vision, goals, and objectives for the planning process and both determining and overseeing public engagement for the park planning effort. Individuals who participated with this group included: • June Cantrell • Rhonda Cummins • Dwana Finster • Bill Harvey • Diane Nunley • Susan Riley • Shannon Salyer • Janie Waghorne • Jim Ward 28 PARK VISION Almost six million Texans live within a 3-4 hour drive of Green Lake. Public wildlife areas such as Powderhorn Ranch, Matagorda Island Wildlife Management Area, Guadalupe Delta Wildlife ManagementArea, and Welder Flats Coastal Preserve are located nearby. However, these properties are managed by Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and entrance is often restricted. Green Lake will be the largest park in Calhoun County. The park will be a gathering place for residents, a place to learn about local ecosystems, and a regional draw for tourists and visitors. It will provide a diversity of recreational opportunities while also protecting and enhancing the property's unique natural resources. Calhoun County will work closely with partner organizations to ensure that the property is managed in accordance with the best available science and current best management practices. Once developed, the property will be a major asset for Calhoun County and will further enhance residents' quality of life. BILL HAKVtY GOAL 1: In providing public access, ensure that the property's unique natural and cultural features are protected, preserved, and enhanced. Objectives - Determine the property's key natural assets and identify opportunities to improve them. Work with partner organizations to develop plans for plant and animal management on the property. ® Identify opportunities for restoration and enhancement of, targeted areas. 27 Goals and Objectives continued .............................................................................. MASTER PLANNING PROCESS. GOAL 2: Provide recreational opportunities that meet the needs of residents and visitors while blending in seamlessly with the natural landscape. Objectives: • Work with residents to prioritize the types of activities and development they want to see on the site. • Develop site design plans that provide recreational amenities while minimally disturbing priority natural areas. • Identify potential user conflicts and develop management strategies that minimize them. GOAL 3: Develop plans for the property that are sustainable within funding and management limitations. Objectives: • Identify funding sources and strategies for park development, maintenance, and ongoing operations. • Ensure that all proposed development could be maintained over time. PUBLIC OUTREACH - COMMUNITY SURVEY Public input and community support are critical in ensuring that the park is sustainably developed to provide for visitor enjoyment, and that the health and integrity of the property is preserved for future generations. In 2014, nearly 400 county residents, business owners, and frequent visitors to Calhoun County responded to a written survey on their hopes and concerns for the park. Most respondents were long-term residents who expected to visit Green Lake between once per month and 5-8 times per year. Insights gained from this survey were used to help guide the planning process and to prioritize project phasing. The following reflects the data obtained from the survey.

PREFERRED ACTIVITIES AND AMENITIES To best determine the type of infrastructure that should be considered in developing the park, respondents were asked to indicate their preference for a variety of recreational activities and to identify the amenities they were most likely to utilize. The results showed a strong preference for activities that an entire family could enjoy together, such as fishing, camping, and picnicking. Boating was listed as a preferred fishing option and as a way to explore the park. Wildlife viewing and education were highly valued over hiking, biking, hunting, and off -road vehicle use. A group picnic shelter, a fishing pier, and a campground area were the most requested amenities. :Answer Options Not Important Somewhat Important Irn ortant Very Important Response Count Group picnic Shelter 28 39 126 162 354 Fishing pier 27 48 128 161 363 Campground 35 48 116 155 354 :Boat Ramp 34 47 125 142 347 Observation deck/ observation towers 36 89 131 112 364 i Outdoor education classroom 49 68 120 110 346 c Wildlife viewing blinds 67 96 123 69 355 ;Answered Question 383: SkippedQuestion..................................................................................I...............6: .................... 29 MASTER PLANNING PROCESS FEES AND FUNDING OPTIONS In order to reduce the tax burden on local residents, it is necessary to identify viable alternative funding options, including grants, donations, and fees for the construction and maintenance of park amenities. The majority of respondents favored supplementary funding from state and federal grants, but also agreed that fees should be charged for specific services such as camping, picnic pavilion rental, and boat launches. Collection of entrance fees received less support (66%) despite a willingness to pay an average of $6.00 per vehicle. Both residents and non-residents indicated a willingness to pay similar amounts for park entrance and amenity fees. Requests were made to consider senior citizen discounts and picnic pavilion refundable deposits when determining fee amounts.

Respondents were given the opportunity, to express any concerns or opinions that the Calhoun County Commissioners Court should consider when developing Green Lake into a county park. Most comments focused on the desire for the long-term success of the park and for assurance that a clear planning process was established to develop an affordable tax and fee structure, to conserve the natural integrity of the property, and to address the ongoing need for maintaining cleanliness and enforcing regulations. Many respondents were worried about trash accumulation and visitors disrespecting the area by "not keeping the park clean." Safety was also mentioned as a key concern due to the proximity of chemical plant release zones and aggressive wildlife MASTER PLANNING PROCESS such as alligators, hogs, and snakes. Hunting was discouraged; in the words of one respondent: "I love hunting, but I don't think a park where families go would be safe for hunting." Some respondents felt that it was important to offer a variety of amenities for groups to enjoy and to promote stewardship by highlighting the cultural and natural history of the park. Many called for the establishment of an educational center and a large pavilion to promote these aims. Off -road vehicle use received mixed comments. Concerns were voiced regarding the impact to the environment as a result of this use and for the overall visitor experience for those not interested in this activity. PUBLIC OUTREACH - COMMUNITY MEETINGS Two public meetings were held in November 2014 to present findings from the community survey, answer questions, and gather additional input from members of the public. Approximately 60 people attended the meetings. Questions and concerns addressed at the meeting included the timeline of developing Green Lake, the types of uses and activities that would be allowed on the property, the need to provide interpretation of the site's history and natural resources, and possible funding and implementation of site improvements. 31 �t SOURCMYILOIIFE 14GYU ZONE Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone . v ..- .:.,. > ^ / cuss&:uz\ < : ,rdx>e\ . . . Limited Recreation Zone PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone CREATION OF WATERFOWL IMPOUNDMENTS Wetland acreage has continued to decline across the Gulf Coast states, with coastal marsh loss in Texas (combined with the disappearance of rice farming and years of drought) impacting critical wintering grounds for a number of waterfowl species. Because of its size, turbidity, and minimal aquatic vegetation, Green Lake has limited value for these species. The floodplain salt flats that make up much of the —550 acre Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone could be utilized for the creation of waterfowl impoundments, also known as moist soil units or moist soil impoundments. These impoundments are made up of levees and water control structures that allow land managers to flood targeted areas during fall and winter and dewater them during spring and summer. 33 Much of the land surrounding Green Lake is made up of seasonally inundated floodplains, salt flats, and wetlands. These areas are often wet (or submerged), have limited vehicular access (without significant improvements), and offer few locations for year-round visitor facilities. Because of this, these —550 acres are proposed to maximize habitat protection and enhancement and provide limited visitor services. Frey activities and proposals for the Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone include: DUCKS UNLIMITED Creation of Waterfowl Impoundments continued ...................................................................................................... PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN The process of flooding and dewatering provides foraging habitat, cover, and rich food sources for waterfowl and other waterbirds. According to the Army Corps of Engineers, "Sites too wet for consistent production of row crops or establishment of upland vegetation, yet too dry for the management of aquatic plants, are especially well suited for development of moist -soil impoundments (Fredrickson & Taylor 1982)." 1 Much of the lowlands at Green Lake fit this characterization. Borrow Areas Levee Increasing Water Depth Increasing Soil Moisture According to several sources, the optimum impoundment size is 5 to 100 acres, with a maximum individual impoundment size of 400 acres. Smaller units are easier to manage because of the ability to Precisely manage water levels. Constructing a number of independent impoundments (minimum of five within a I0-mile radius) allows for the complex to be managed for a diversity of waterfowl. Creation of moist soil units would create important waterfowl habitat, enhance the natural resources on the property, and provide a valuable draw for visitors to the park. Construction of levees could also provide opportunities for year-round hiking trails that could provide visitor access to the property's extensive lowlands. " ireation of moist soil units would create important waterfowl habitat, enhance the natural resources on the property, and provide a valuable drazefor visitors to the park.

Natural resource advisors for the project recommend enhancing or expanding the existing bird island, and potentially creating additional islands. Both actions would further enhance the bird habitat on the property. This plan proposes (1) the addition of wooden platforms adjacent to the existing —0.4-acre bird island, and (2) the creation of additional small islands at an equal or greater distance from shore. Further study is needed to determine the location, size, and construction methods for each of these habitats; partnerships with other governmental or non-profit partners are recommended to ensure thatprojects are cost effective, easy to manage, and function ecologically. Around each of these potential rookeries, care will need to be taken to minimize human disturbance from boat traffic. See the "Management" section for further discussion on managing boating on Green Lake. LIMITED MARSH TERRACING Green Lake's large size, turbidity, and typical wave action prevent marsh vegetation from establishing in much of the shallow lake. In some water bodies, such as nearbyAlligator Slide Lake (in Guadalupe Delta WMA), marsh terracing has been effectively used to reduce wave action decrease turbidity, and create conditions i BIRD NESTING STRUCTURE generally constructed in a "V" shape to ensure calm water on the downwind side of the terrace, regardless of wind direction. Conversations with natural resource advisors suggest that Green Lake's size makes a significant amount of marsh terracing infeasible. However, the southwestern favorable for the establishment of marsh vegetation. area of the lake provides an opportunity to utilize this Marsh terracing involves the construction of earthen practice to create additional marsh habitat. terraces in the lake. Terraces are approximately 40 feet wide at their base, 10 feet wide at the top, and typically This plan recommends the creation of marsh terraces sit approximately two feet above water level. They are to block the southwestern corner of the lake. 35 Marsh terracing in 1311igator Slide Lake on Gaudalupe Delta WMIi LLVth IKAIL PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN US FWS These terraces will slow wave action in this sheltered cove and allow the establishment of additional marsh vegetation that will attract a wide range of waterfowl. Additional planning and design will be required to ensure that terraces are built to withstand Green Lake's considerable wave action. WALKING TRAILS AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS Public access to the Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone will be primarily by foot. Hitting trails throughout this area will need to be constructed in a way that reflects the areas moist soils, sensitive habitat areas, and intermittent flooding. Destinations could include the Coastal Bend Chenier along the Lakeshore, and viewpoints of Goff Bayou or other wetland areas that provide good birding opportunities. Boardwalks or other elevated walking/viewing structures could be considered in limited areas. Other minimal improvements that could be considered in this zone include benches or picnic tables in the Coastal Bend Chenier area, and bird blinds/bird observation areas near wetland and riparian bird habitat. 36 PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN WILDLIFE AND INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT Invasive species management and wildlife population control will be important components for maintaining the Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone. Special attention should be paid to fast -spreading invasive species, such as black mimosa, which can have a strong negative impact on Green Lake's lowlands. Managing wildlife, including the lake's alligator population and a significant number of feral hogs, is an important task that requires further study. Natural resource advisors have recommended that allowing limited archery hunting for hogs and annual harvesting of alligators can be compatible with public access and recreation at Green Lake. However, before Calhoun County allows these activities, management strategies such as temporary park closures should be considered in order to ensure the safety and comfort of park visitors. For more information, see the "Management" section of this plan. PARK AND VISITOR FACILITIES ZONE The —150-acre upland abutting State Highway 35 is a largely open and -flat area that was heavily impacted by grazing and other previous uses of the property. This previous impact, along with its easy access from the highway, makes it an ideal location for development of more intensive visitor facilities and activities. Ivey activities and proposals for the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone include: park and Visitor Facilities Zone V PROPERTY ENTRANCE The main access to the Green Lakeproperty will continue to be off State Highway 35, just east of the transition zone between uplands and lowlands. Improvements will likely be required to improve traffic safety at the entrance. The Texas Department of Transportation has reviewed the site, and recommends the addition of two 615-foot deceleration (turn) lanes in the existing right of way, as well as one 923-foot acceleration lane. CAMPGROUND Both community survey respondents and project advisors see a strong need for a campground at Green Lake. A campground will provide a number of benefits to the future park: it will attract visitors to the property year-round, provide an around -the -clock presence by county staff and/or campground hosts, and it will provide a potential revenue stream for the park. The Park and Visitor Facilities Zone proposed in this master plan includes a campground of approximately 30 to 40 acres on a portion of the upland area. This campground, subject tofurthersiteplanning, isprojected to contain between 75-100 sites. Itis recommended that these sites include a mixture of RV and tent sites, with utility hookups available at all RV sites and at a select number of tent sites. Calhoun County may also want to consider including, a limited number of; screened camping shelters. PROPOSED PARR CONCEPT PLAN ENTRY STATION In order to control access to the property, collect fees, and provide information about activities and facilities, a small entry station is recommended. Depending on staffing levels, expected visitor traffic, and county needs, this can range in size from a one -person kiosk to a larger visitor center -type building with attached restrooms, small gift shop, office space, etc. The entry station should be located far enough into the property to allow vehicles to queue without spilling over onto SH-35. The area identified for the campground is characterized, by isolated trees, mottes, and shrubs. To the greatest extent possible, these natural features will be used to screen campsites from each other and provide a sense of privacy. Multiple campground loops are recommended in order to best utilize the natural features of the site. 3R Campground Infrastructure Construction of a campground at Green Lake will require significant additional infrastructure. In addition to roadways and campsites, the campground will require utilities, utility hookups, toilet/ shower buildings, dump station(s), and waste management facilities.

Pult-through sites range from 55'-100' in length, with turning radii that support today's larger RVs. Pull through sites are typically placed on the right side of the road so that the RV entry faces into the campsite. 39 PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN ThWodgaarraaymnent undars• 9 responds to navel elemams around yYo'-nsslte Minor y',"'% .• (.: �.v� svbility PI II I-TI-IRffl IGI-I CAMPSITF FXAMPI F. RLM Back -in sites can be used for both tent sites and RVs, and typically can be constructed for lower cost. These sites should be angled 45-60 degrees from the roadway, with a parking area that is 16' wide at a minimum. The parking spur should have a 20' long parking pad, at a minimum (for tent/car camping sites), and can have a parking pad upward of 75' long (for larger trailers). A mixture of parking spur lengths reduces costs, but limits the number of spaces available to RVs. Screened shelters should be considered at some sites to provide camping options during the extended mosquito/fly seasons on the property. Campground Infrastructure continued "A campground will provide a number of benefits to the future park: it will attract visitors to the property year-round, provide an around -the -clock presence by county staff andlor campground hosts, and it will provide a potential revenue stream for the park. " PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN This plan recommends that the campground includes a mix of both non -utility and full -hookup sites. All pull - through sites should have full hookups for RV camping. The exact mixture of sites should be determined based on projected use and financial sustainability. Most guidelines recommend 8 to 12 toilets (plus additional urinals) for a 100-site campground. These facilities should ideally be located within 1,000 feet of each campsite, which often necessitates multiple buildings. Including showers in at least one auxiliary building often increases the attractiveness of a campground for potential visitors. The associated septic system will have to be sized accordingly. SCREENED SHELTER EXAMPLE, TPWD GROUP PICNIC SHELTER AND PICNICKING AREAS A group picnic shelter was identified by survey respondents as the most desired facility at the future park; most respondents also identified picnicking as one the activities they would most enjoy. Because of this, the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone includes several proposals for picnicking and group use. Each campsite within the campground should also have easy access to potable water. A campground of this size will likely require approval and operation as a transient non -community water system, regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. 40 Picnic Area A main picnicking area is proposed for the area at the top of the slope, southeast of the existing boat ramp. This area provides copious shade in an open, park -like setting with easy access to the lake. This picnic area would utilize parking associated with the boat ramp and future visitor center, and could serve as a key traillread location in the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone. Each of these picnic locations could include a shaded picnic shelter and barbecue grill; trash receptacles should be placed evenly throughout the area. Calhoun County could consider some screened shelters that could be rented to park visitors. Consideration should be given to including a play structure or natural play area in this area to provide additional opportunities for recreation on the property. "A large group picnic shelterl pavilion should have access to electricity, water, and nearby restrooms. It should also be screened to provide for year- round use." PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN Group Shelter A future picnic pavilion/group shelter (available for rent) is proposed for one of two locations: (1) near the high point on the property or (2) at the former house site. Both sites provide advantages. The high point site, to the west of the entrance roadway, provides a breezy location that would be largely separated from other park uses and would provide privacy for family gatherings, weddings, and other events. Targeted clearing could open up limited views to the lowlands. The former house site, on the other hand, offers expansive views over the lowlands and a pavilion/group shelter there could serve as an informal visitor center and classroom space. However, given the proximity of other visitor activities (trails, observation tower, picnic area), -this site would provide more limited privacy. Alarge group picnic shelter/pavilion should have access to electricity, water, and nearby restrooms. It should also be screened to provide for year-round use. 41 SCREENED GROUP SHELTER EXAMPLES, TPWD PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN BOAT RAMP AND PARKING AREA Boating access to the lake was another key priority for residents and stakeholders. Currently, the property has a small boat ramp on a peninsula contained within the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone. While this boat ramp is functional, the narrow peninsula is poorly suited for the trailer traffic that is projected for public use of Green Lake. A new boat ramp is thus proposed near the base of this peninsula, on the western side. Construction of a boat ramp in this location will potentially require dredging or partial widening of the peninsula, in order to ensure adequate water depth and suitable staging areas for launching. Partially widening the peninsula will provide additional space to separate fishing pier users (see fishing pier, below) from trailer traffic. The utmost care must be taken to minimize conflicts between boat trailers and other park users in this location. Best practices for boat ramp design specify that the number of trailer parking spaces generally limits capacity and dictates the number of boat ramp lanes needed. A parking lot of 30 spaces (up to 50 spaces) can be serviced by a single -lane boat ramp, while a parking lot of 50 spaces (up to 100 spaces) requires two lanes. Trailer parking spaces should be roughly 12' wide by 40' long, with minimal grades (2-5%) and cross -slopes (1-2%). Travel lanes in these parking areas are generally 25-30 feet in width, with one-way traffic circulation. Parking areas for the boat ramp are proposed on the slopes just south of the peninsula, in open areas on both sides of the existing access road. The proposed parking areas should include normal car parking spaces in addition to trailer spaces, as this area will also be used by park day users. Design of these parking areas should respect existing vegetation and seek to minimize tree removal. FISHING PIER A fishing pier was highly desired by Calhoun County residents and other survey respondents. A long pier would provide excellent fishing access to the lake, while minimizing the number of fishing points required along the shore. A fishing pier is proposed to extend beyond the boat ramp peninsula, towards the existing rookery island. Combined with the nearby boat ramp, this will create unique fishing opportunities for visitors. The Pier will also provide outstanding views of the rookery TWO LANE BOAT RAMP, AFISHIONADOS island. Because of this, the pier should have a large platform at its terminus to minimize conflicts between fishermen, birders, and other visitors. Fishing pier users will park in the boat ramp parking area, just south of the base of the peninsula. A separated walking trail is needed to direct visitors from the parking area to the pier and separate these pedestrians from vehicle and boat traffic. 42 Fishing Pier continued ............................................................. The intensity of use at the boat ramp, fishing pier, and adjacent picnic area will require Calhoun County to consider additional amenities in this area. Restrooms should be located nearby, and the County may want to consider installing fish cleaning stations, trash collection, benches, or other amenities. OBSERVATION TOWER The eastern edge of the Park and Visitor Facilities zone provides outstanding views across the lowlands, the southern edge of Green Lake, and the existing rookery island. To capitalize and expand upon these views, an observation tower is proposed at this location. The observation tower will provide opportunities to view the proposed rookery islands, observe waterfowl in the proposed moist soil impoundments, and take in a commanding view of all 5,000+ acres of Green Lake. VISITOR/EDUCATION CENTER (OR PAVILION) The former house site provides an outstanding location for a visitor/education center, park headquarters, or signature picnic pavilion/group shelter. Locating key facilities in this location will allow Calhoun County to greet park visitors, offer information about the park, guide visitors to park amenities, and educate guests about this unique property. From this location, visitors - have ready access to all of Green Lake's activities and amenities, and expansive views of the lake and lowlands. PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN The ultimate use of this portion of the site will depend on the level of development desired by Calhoun County. The most highly developed scenario, a small visitor center and park headquarters, could provide interpretive exhibits, classroom space, and a small bait or gift shop, as well as restroom facilities for day use visitors. A less intensive option would see this site developed with a signature picnic pavilion/group shelter, also with associated restrooms. This structure could serve dual purpose as educational/classroom space for weekday school field trips. A small addition to the structure could provide space for park operations, such as a visitor information booth or fee collection station. Both options would include a small parking area along the access road south of the proposed site. This parking area would also serve the adjacent picnic area and trails. Al PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN TRAIL SYSTEM A trail system is an integral part of the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone. This trail network will provide convenient walling routes between all of the zone's key destinations, including the campground, boat ramp, picnic area, and visitor/education center. From the boat ramp zone, trails will wind along and through the slope forest that rings the south end of the lake. These trails will be designed to maximize opportunities to view the Neotropical bird species that use this forest during the spring and fall migration. A —2 mile loop would wind through this habitat before climbing to the top of the spoil unit, cutting across open grasslands to the live oak sand terrace, then winding through mottes and shrub back to the main picnic area. This particular trail route would provide opportunities to educate visitors about Green Lake, its various habitats, and its history. The trail could eventually be extended into the Limited Recreation Zone. MAINTENANCE AREA Amaintenance area is needed to manage operations at this large park. Other, similar-sizedparks have maintenance areas that range in size from less than one, to slightly more than two acres. There are two potential locations for a maintenance area in this zone. The first is directly adjacent to the entrance station. This area is currently screened by two hedgerows and a slope from the remainder of the property. However, because of its proximity to the entrance, a maintenance area in this location would have to be constructed in such a way that it minimized the visual impact on visitors entering the park. Storage buildings should be attractive and face away from the entry 44 Maintenance Area continued road (screening maintenance operations). Open work or storage areas should be screened from view, either by attractive fencing or vegetation. Trees and other screening should be planted between these areas and the entry road in order to reduce the visual impact on park guests. A second, alternative option for the maintenance area would be to place it north of the campgrounds and east of the proposed picnic areas. This area has large existing trees that would shield buildings from view. However, the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone's trail network is threaded through this area, and care would have to be taken to direct trails away from the maintenance area. The slope forest in this area is also key bird habitat, and maintenance operations may PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN NATURAL RESOURCE ENHANCEMENT Two locations in the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone offerumque opportunities forhabitat creation. The spoil unit in this area is well suited for creating a waterfowl impoundment, or moist soil unit, because of its existing exterior berm (see the Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone section for more information about waterfowl impoundments). Similarly, the low, moist area adjacent to the levee has been used for waterfowl habitat in the past, and could be improved with a year- round water source. Both of these locations would provide a unique opportunity to create outstanding birding opportunities adjacent to main visitor areas. 45 PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN The —2.7-mile levee that separates Green Lake from the Victoria Barge Canal, along the eastern edge of the property, presents challenges for visitor access and management. In places, this levee is only 100-feet wide in total, with steep slopes and dense vegetation comprising a majority of that width. Because of this, the opportunities for extensive visitor use along the levee are limited. Key activities and proposals for the Limited Recreation Zone include: Limited Recreation Zone WALKING TRAILS, VIEWING AREAS, BANK FISHING ACCESS Dependent on adequate staff to monitor the area, the levee will provide excellent opportunities for a linear hiking/walking trail system. The existing roadbed's reasonable grade and firm surface provides an easy walking route that could be utilized to provide views of both Green Lake and the barge canal. Highlights could include views of the existing, expanded, or additional rookery island(s); shore access to the lake and barge canal, and numerous birding opportunities. Potential improvements could include trails t$at deviate from the existing roadway potentially cutting through the mesquite shrubland and slope forest on both sides of the levee in order to provide a diversity of terrain, views, and habitat types. Viewing platforms, bird blinds, and/or benches should be incorporated into the trail design to provide visitors with destination points and opportunities for interpretive signs and other learning opportunities. ' 46 Walking Trails, Viewing Areas...continned ........................................................................................... Because of the high demand for fishing access at Green Lake, these trails could also include a number of well-defined bank fishing locations. These locations may require small piers, jetties, or other infrastructure to provide access to suitable fishing locations along the Lakeshore. Along the canal side, fishing access points should be located in a way that man-made improvements are not required. PICNIC AREA There are several beautiful, open areas that provide excellent views of the Victoria Barge Canal along the levee. One of these locations would be well suited for a picnic area comprised of a small number of covered picnic tables and associated infrastructure (trash cans, barbecue grills). However, this is dependent on County staff's ability to monitor and maintain the area, particularly during and after busy holiday weekends. A successful and well -utilized picnic area would also require a small parking area and roadway expansion to facilitate vehicle access to the site. The County may phase in a picnic area in this location by first installing PROPOSED PARK CONCEPT PLAN OPEN AREA ALONG BARGE CANAL ROAD EXPANSION AND SMALL PARKING LOT In order to provide greater access to the Limited Recreation Zone in later phases of park development, the existing roadway will need to be expanded and improved. This concept plan recommends a two-lane roadway that travels—0.75-mles north (or less) along the levee, where a small parking area of —0.5 acre or less can provide access to trails, picnic areas, and fishing opportunities. These improvements would open the Limited Recreation Zone up to visitors who have a harder time wailing or who would like to park near their picnic table. SMALL FISHING PIER Given the importance of fishing access for county residents, the levee .may provide opportunities for an additional fishingpier.Ideally, this pier would be located in close proximity to the road extension, parking area, and picnic area. It would provide additional fishing access to the lake for visitors without a boat. In the immediate future, only bank fishing will be allowed on the barge canal side of the levee. PROJECT PHASING Due to the Iarge size of the property and the realities of park funding, it is recommended that park development activities be conducted in phases. These phases are meant as a guide to identify park development priorities and assist with grant applications and other funding sources. Completion of a phase will depend on identifying and securing funding, county management capacity, and community support/interest. The following phasing is proposed for each of the park zones, with the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone having highest priority for initial improvements. Improvements in different zones may occur concurrently, dependent on funding and staff capacity. PHASING -PARK AND VISITOR FACILITIES ZONE The Park and Visitor Facilities Zone is arguably the most important part of the park for visitors. Because of this, this plan recommends that Calhoun County work to open portions of this zone first. Doing so will allow limited visitor access to a manageable portion of the property, open up potential revenue streams for the park, and provide scenic views and unique experiences that will inspire park visitors. Below is a possible approach for phasing in amenities in the Park and Visitor Facilities Zone. Each phase will require further design and engineering. Phasing of Improvements in Park and Visitor Facilities Zone 1. Install perimeter fencing and gates to control access to property 2. Develop entry station, maintenance yard, and park roads 3. Design and install utility infrastructure on site 4. Construct campground with —100 sites and associated restrooms 5. Develop main picnic area and parking area 6. Construct observation tower and small parking area 7. Develop limited trail network throughout the zone, connecting campground to picnic area and observation tower 8. Develop fishing pier and expand picnic area parking to accommodate additional visitors 9. Construct boat ramp and finalize boat ramp/pier/picnic area parking facilities 10. Design and construct group picric shelter, with associated restrooms 11. If separate, design and construct visitor center/educational facility 12. Finalize parking areas, add any additional amenities 13. Develop marsh/wetland habitat in spoil unit and low area adjacent to campgrounds AR PHASING -NATURAL RESOURCE AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT ZONE Because of thelimited amount of public access allowed in Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone, the phasing of improvements is less important in this area. The development of this zone will depend largely on funding sources and partnerships developed by the County. However, included below is a possible approach for phasing in improvements so that visitors can experience the many resources in this area of the park. Each phase will require further design, engineering, and associated partnerships with natural resource advisors. Phasing of Improvements in Natural Resource and Wildlife Management Zone 1. Manage invasive species and wildlife population to preserve ecological health 2. Develop limited trails and bank fishing access points in highest/driest areas. Close these areas when lake rises to minimize impact. , 3. Expand trail network and add boardwalk sections to points of interest (marsh ponds, oxbows, etc.) 4. Construct nesting platforms adjacent to existing rookery island 5. Construct waterfowl impoundments and expand trail network along levees 6. Develop artificial bird islands off southern shoreline 7. Construct marsh terracing in southwestern corner of lake to reduce turbidity and create additional freshwater marsh habitat PROJECT COSTS IMPLEMENTATION PHASING - LIMITED RECREATION ZONE The Limited Recreation Zone provides the greatest challenges for visitor access. The improvements in this zone are recommended only after Calhoun County has the management capacity to properly oversee these far-flung locations. The phasing outlined below emphasizes low -impact recreational improvements (such as hiking/walking trails) first, followed by improvements that will open up this area to a wider range of visitors. Each phase will require further design and engineering before construction. Phasing of Improvements in Limited Recreation Zone 1. Develop a limited trail network that follows the levee and provides views and access to both Green Lake and the Victoria Barge Canal. Develop bank fishing access points on the southern end of the levee, particularly along the barge canal. Consider restricting access to at least half of the levee 2. Place limited picnicking facilities (picnic tables) in open area along the barge canal, approximately 0.75 miles from the southern end of the levee 3. Extend 2-lane roadway 0.75 miles north along the levee and construct small parking area 4. Further improve trail network north of new parking area; open access to entire 2.7-mile levee 5. Develop formal picnic area adjacent to new parking area 6. Identify locations for additional fishing piers/ fishing access along lake side of levee 7. Consider construction of bird blinds, observation decks, or other viewing platforms in scenic or noteworthy locations An estimate of project costs is included as an appendix to this plan. At this stage of planning, however, it is difficult to estimate true project costs. Most projects identified in this document require additional design and engineering before costs can be accurately estimated. PROJECT FUNDING The majority of survey respondents favor using fundingfrom state and federal grants to develop the park. Typically, matching funds are required for grants. When required, a decision as to the source of matching funds must be made before a grant application is submitted.

The majority of the proposed improvements and activities included in this plan will have no impact on these resources. However, Calhoun County will work with the proper authorities to ensure that these important resources are protected during park design, construction, and operation. GROUND DISTURBANCE The Antiquities Code of Texas requires political subdivisions of the state to notify the Texas Historical Commission (THC) of ground -disturbing activity on public land, including the construction of recreational parks. THC must be notified prior to commencing any project that will involve five or more acres of ground disturbance, 5,000 or more cubic yards of earth moving, or will affect a recorded archeological site. The Antiquities Code can be found at Texas Natural Resource Code, Title 9, Chapter 191. Additional information about THE rules and regulations can be found at wwwthc.state.tx.us. WETLAND DISTURBANCE The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) is responsible for protecting the integrity of the nation's waterways through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which is a program established to regulate the discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of the United States. Filling for commercial development, public infrastructure (including parks), dams, and conversion of wetlands for farming are some of the activities regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Regulated activities in wetlands and waters of the U.S. are controlled by a permit review process administered by the USAGE, and the objective of the program is to insure no discharge of dredged or fill material be permitted if the nation's waters would be significantly degraded or if a practicable alternative exists that is less damaging to the aquatic environment. More information about USAGE rules and regulations can be found at http://wwwusace.arinymil. P_M Project Construction Rules and Regulations cojetiq} ed. ' ............................................................................................................ IMPLEMENTATION ENDANGERED SPECIES PROTECTIONS The Endangered Species Act (ESA) provides a program for the conservation of threatened and endangered plants and animals and the habitats in which they are found. The lead federal agencies for implementing ESA are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries Service. The FWS maintains a worldwide list of endangered species. Species include birds, insects, fish, reptiles, mammals, crustaceans, flowers, grasses, and trees. Several threatened or endangered species have been observed at Green Lake, including Bald Eagles, Piping Plovers, and Whooping Cranes. The law requires federal agencies, in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or the NOAA Fisheries Service, to ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of designated critical habitat of such species. The law also prohibits any action that causes a "taking" of any listed species of endangered fish or wildlife. "Takings" can include alteration of habitat used by the species of concern, both on public and private land. PARK MANAGEMENT Opening a park of Green Lake's size will be a new undertaking for Calhoun County. The following management considerations will be important as the County embarks on this ambitious project: COUNTY PARK BOARD It is recommended that the Calhoun County Commissioners Court establish a county park board to oversee the maintenance and operation of Green Lake County Park. Complete information on the establishment, duties and powers of Texas park boards can be found in the Texas Local Government Code, Title 10, Subtitle B, Chapter 320, attached as Appendix C. In the alternative, it is recommended that a park supervisor be hired to oversee the maintenance and operation of the park. RULES AND REGULATIONS Park rules and regulations are needed for the health, safety and protection of visitors, wildlife, natural resources, and property within the park. Typical areas of concern that will need to be addressed by the Calhoun County Commissioners Court or county park board include: • Hours of operation • Weapons, firearms, fireworks • Hunting Discussions by natural resource advisors recommended that limited archery hunting (deer, feral hog) be allowed in lowland areas, and that alligator harvesting continue to occur. However, waterfowl hunting was not recommended due to potential conflicts with public use of the property. • Water safety Limiting the size of motors allowed on Green Lake has been discussed, as a method of ensuring the safety and comfort of all park users. The lake's large size, shallow depth, and choppy conditions can be extremely hazardous, and active patrols of the lake may be necessary. The County also does not own the entire shoreline; property boundaries will have to be clearly marked to avoid trespassing on adjoining properties. • Natural habitat protection The County will need to maintain exclusion zones around the existing bird island and any additional sensitive bird habitat. These zones should be clearly marked with buoys, and advertised on boat ramp signage. • Alligators, wildlife To prevent conflicts between visitors and wildlife, rules or regulations may need to be enforced to prevent the feeding or handling of wildlife. • Littering, solid waste 59 Rules and Regulations continued . ............................................................................................................. IMPLEMENTATION • Fires • Pets • Alcohol use • Archeological sites • Noise limits • Vandalism. • Off -road travel, all -terrain vehicles Off -road travel will need to be prohibited to ensure the ecological integrity of Green Lake's many different habitat types • Camping, picnicking NTTP://T WO.TEXAS.GOV/SP E T/PARXINFO/RULES_AND_RE ULATIONS See for an example of possible rules and regulations to be implemented. FEES Most public parks of Green Lake's size charge fees for entrance and certain activities. These fees are typically used to support park operations, fund newimprovements at the site, and/or cover staff salaries. Over 75% of surveyed county residents supported the collection of fees for certain park activities (such as camping) at Green Lake. Roughly two-thirds of respondents also supported the collection of entrance fees. While these fees will ultimately have to be set and collected by a county parks board, survey results suggested that the following median amounts would be supported by county residents: LAW ENFORCEMENT Local, county, state and federal law enforcement officers ensure the safety of the public and the protection of natural resources. They address illegal activities, including poaching, taking of endangered species, dumping of trash, illegal operation of all terrain vehicles, trespassing, and more. Texas game wardens holdfederal commissions issued by the U S. Department of the Interior and the US. Department of Commerce for purposes of enforcing federal fisheries and wildlife laws in Texas. A cooperative working relationship with local law enforcement officers is vital for the success of the park. .... ......... ......... .....

County staff willneed to combat invasive and exotic species, actively manage constructed wetlands, maintain coastal prairie, balance wildlife populations, and combat the impacts of public access and use. Additional information on many of these actions can be found in the attached appendices. Calhoun County should also call on natural resource advisors, including other public land managers, local master naturalists, and academic institutions, as they work to manage the property. VEGETATIVE INVASIVE SPECIES The Green Lake site supports a diverse plant community. Unfortunately, not all of types of plants on the site are beneficial. Green Lake's natural resources and economy can be degraded by invasive species if left unchecked. These unwanted invaders are often unintentionally introduced through the everyday activities of visitors, wildlife, and birdlife. However they arrive, once invasive species are established, they have the potential to change_the Green Lake ecosystem forever. For more information about the invasive species found at Green Lake, please refer to the "Invasive Species" section earlier in this document. Key threats include fast -spreading invasives like black mimosa, and native successional species like huisache and mesquite. Many methods are available to manage the invasive plants and rehabilitate sites at Green Lake. A successful plan of attack depends on integrated management that considers all methods relative to the site and its invaders. These methods, including techniques to ensure water quality protection, are presented in greater detail in Appendix D. ALLIGATOR MANAGEMENT Alarge population of alligators currentlyexists at Green Lake. The American alligator is federally classified as "threatened due to similarity of appearance" to other endangered and threatened crocodilians. This provides federal protection for alligators but allows state -approved management and control programs. Alligators can be legally taken in Green Lake but only by individuals with proper licenses or permits issued by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. For information about alligator tag issuance and requirements, contact the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management office. FERAL HOGS Feral hogs (wild hogs) can be found at Green Lake. Because of their destructive feeding habits and potential to spread disease, feral hogs are a threat to native wildlife and habitat. Feral hogs are not a game or non -game species in Texas. Instead, they are considered exotic livestock and fall under the ownership of the landowner and not the citizens of the state. Calhoun County or its agents are allowed to kill feral hogs at Green Lake without a hunting license if the hogs are causing damage. However, a valid Texas hunting license is required for trapping or snaring hogs as these activities could affect other wildlife species. Additional information about controlling and managing feral hogs can be found at wwwferalliogs. tamu.edu/publications and wvwtpwd.texas.gov/ huntwild/wild/nuisance/feral_hogs. CA WHAT'S NEXT? Building a county park at Green Lake will be a long-term undertaking. This plan is meant to provide guidance throughout that process. As work is completed to open the property to the public, plans may change to better reflect conditions on the ground. However, the overarching vision and goals outlined by this document will continue to guide the County's efforts.

Box 49 Port Lavaca, Texas 77979 March 11, 2016 County of Calhoun The Honorable Judge Mike Pfeifer 211 S. Ann St. Port Lavaca, Texas 77979 RE: Optional Homestead Exemption Dear Judge Pfeifer: CONSOLIDATED APPRAISAL AND TAX SERVICES Appraisal: (361) 552-8808 Collections: (361) 552-4560 Pax: (361)552.4787 Web: www.calhounead.org Pursuant to Section 11.13(n) of the Texas Property Tax Code "... an individual is entitled to an exemption from taxation by a taxing unit of a percentage of the appraised value of his residence homestead if the exemption is adopted by the governing body of the taxing unit before July 1 in the manner provided by law for official action by the body. If the percentage set by the taxing unit produces an exemption of less than $5,000 when applied to a particular residence homestead, the individual is entitled to an exemption of $5,000 of the appraised value. The percentage adopted by the taxing unit may not exceed 20 percent". The County of Calhoun currently offers a 20% optional homestead exemption. Pursuant to 11.13(n-1) of the Texas Property Tax Code the governing body of a school district, municipality or county that adopted an exemption under Subsection (n) for the 2014 tax year may not reduce the amount of or repeal the exemption. This subsection expires December 31, 2019. Should the governing body desire to change the existing option ion "65 or older" or o tp ional Disabled Person exemption amount, (does not include a disabled veteran's exemption), please contact our office by April 6, 2016, in order for us to include it on the appraisal notices. Please be aware that decreasing an optional exemption amount would require the appraisal district to send a notice to all the property owners within the taxing unit affected by the change. Please refer to the enclosed listing of exemptions currently in place for your taxing unit. Should you have any questions or need assistance please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, JeS e W.
