Item 1970 National Power Survey(United States Federal Power Commission, 1970) United States Federal Power CommissionThe National Power Survey is reported in four parts. Part I contains the report of the Commission and the independent report of the Task Force on the Environment. Parts II and III contain the reports of the six regional advisory committees. Part IV contains the reports of the technical advisory committees on generation, transmission, distribution and load forecasting methodology. Two advisory committee reports, Underground Power Transmission, April 1966, and Prevention of Power Failures, Volume II, June 1967, have been given wide distribution as separate publications. The Commission's report is intended to serve as a general long-range guide rather than a directive or firm plan. It illustrates possible patterns of efficient development based upon assumptions outlined in the report and with the passage of time, modifications to reflect variances from the assumptions will be inorder. For example, if fast breeder nuclear reactors should be developed earlier than the present target dates, or if the price of fossil fuel should increase more than projected, the estimated generation from fossil fuel generation might be increased.Item 1972 Annual Report(University of Houston, 1972) Texas Law Institute of Coastal and Marine ResourcesThe 1972 Annual Report of the Texas Law Institute of Coastal and Marine Resources, a consortium of state law schools, located at the Bates College of Law, University of Houston, is in two parts. The first reports to the Governor of Texas and members of the Legislature, pursuant to SCR 8 and SCR9 of the 62nd Legislature (1971), which directed the Interagency Council on Natural Resources and the Environment to work with the Texas Law Institute in analyzing the legal and institutional problems associated with the Coastal Zone Management Program. The second part summarizes the work of the Texas Law Institute accomplished pursuant to a grant from the National Science Foundation, and includes proposal for further research during 1973-74.Item 1973 Annual report; Water Pollution Control Program.(The City of Houston, Department of Public Health, Pollution Control Division, 1973) The City of Houston, Department of Public Health, Pollution Control DivisionThis report details the activities and accomplishments of the City of Houston Water Pollution Control Program. It includes a description of the work procedures used and an analysis of the data collected on the quality of the water in the bayous of the city. Analysis of the data shows definite improvements in the water quality in all six of the major bayous; Sims, Brays, Buffalo, White Oak, Hunting, and Halls-Greens Bayou. There was an overall percentage improvement in dissolved oxygen of 9 percent and a 72.6 percent improvement in oil and grease over 1972. The coliform count was also significantly lower and the biochemical oxygen demand level had an overall average of only 10.2 milligram per liter which is well below the Texas Water Quality Board requirement for intrastate waters.Item The 1978 Houston-Galveston and Texas Gulf Coast Vertical Control Surveys(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Survey, 1980) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean SurveyComparisons between leveling surveys of different epochs are used to determine vertical displacement of permanent bench marks. Displacement of bench marks usually represents the movement of the surrounding area. In this report, the 1978 Houston-Galveston and Texas Gulf Coast releveling surveys are compared to the 1963, 1973, and 1976 releveling results. The changes in elevations of bench marks common to two or more epochs are tabulated and plotted in appendix A. From, these differences, contour maps were prepared for the 1963-78 and 1973-78 epochs in the 2 degrees x 2 degrees area of maximum subsidence. Annual subsidence rates computed for the 1973-78 period are about 25 percent less in the maximum subsidence area than the rates computed for the 1963-73 period.Item 1978 releveling Harris-Galveston area.(Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, 1979) U.S. National Geodetic Survey.This material represents adjusted elevation data derived from work done by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) under the basic sponsorship of the Harris Galveston Coastal Subsidence District and with the aid of a number of interested federal agencies. The actual field work was completed in January, 1979. The elevations listed here are for specific bench marks and should not be used to represent the elevation of nearby structures, roadways, etc. The 1978 data is expected to be published in July, 1979 and will include maps showing the subsidence which occurred from 1973 to 1978.Item 1980 Texas outdoor recreation plan, the golden crescent region: region 17.(Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission., 1980) Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.No abstract availableItem 1980 Texas outdoor recreation plan, the Gulf coast region: region 16.(Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission., 1980) Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.No abstract availableItem 1980 Texas Outdoor Recreation Plan: the state summary.(Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Consumer Planning Section., 1980) Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Consumer Planning Section.No abstract availableItem 1980 Texas outdoor recreation plan: the South East Texas region: region 15.(Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 1980) Texas PArks and WIldlife Commission.No abstract availableItem 1982 census of agriculture.

This report includeds a table finding guide to assist the user in locating those statistical tables that contain the data that are needed.Item The 1990 national shellfish register of classified estuarine waters(U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Strategic Assessment Branch, Office of Oceanography and Marine Assessent, National Ocean Service, 1991) U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Strategic Assessment Branch, Office of Oceanography and Marine Assessent, National Ocean ServiceThis register describes declines in estuarine water quality, decreases in the acreage of approved molluscan shellfish - growing waters, and continuing declines in the Nation's shellfish harvests. Relationships between these declines are discussed. Although declines in any given year, and even from 1985 to 1990, are not dramatic, an almost inexorable trend that threatens to destroy the harvest of wild or natural shellfish continues throughout the Nation's coastal areas.Item The 1991 General Land Office, coastal management initiative.(1991) Texas General Land Office.No abstract availableItem 1992 National Coastal Cleanup Results(Center for Marine Conservation, 1993) Center for Marine ConservationThis book reports the data collected in the United States during volunteer trash cleanup days.
