These are: 1) Use the funding allotment to relocate residents <br /> of the flood plains of both the Blanco and San Marcos Rivers to non-flood plain areas, and 2) Relocate the wastewater treatment plant on the San Marcos River, currently located east <br /> of I35, to a higher area out of the flood plain of the river.
