to 90,000 acre-feet per year. 12. This request is based on numerous hydrologic studies since the 1960's by GBRA engineers, the TNRCC staff and the staff of the TWDB confirming Canyon Reservoir's ability to deliver more water without negatively affecting senior water rights, environmental flows, or having significant long-term impacts on the level of the lake. 13. Canyon Reservoir's increased supply is critical to sustaining human life. 14. This same increased supply is needed now to prevent over pumping of area aquifers, including the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers. 15. This amendment provides the source for several vital regional water supply projects that will benefit numerous entities including the cities of Kerrville, Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, Bulverde, New Braunfels, San Marcos, Victoria, Kyle, Buda and the Comal ISD. 16. The effect on Canyon Lake will be minimal in that TNRCC's additional instead flow requirements that will be part of the new permit amendment will actually increase flows downstream of the lake during normal times. 17. The downstream flows will also be significantly increased during drought periods due to the deliveries of the additional stored water from Canyon Reservoir. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS: PART 1. That the City Council of San Marcos confirms its support of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority's pending application to TNRCC to amend its existing Canyon Reservoir water right, Certificate of Adjudication No. 18-2074 and hereby requests the duly-appointed Commissioners of the TNRCC to approve the permit amendment without delay.
