9. Agenda/Outcomes/Comments:
________________________________________________________________________ The first Stakeholder Advisory Forum (SAF) for the updated Trinity-Hill Country Groundwater Availability Model (GAM) was held at the Kendall County Historic Courthouse in Boerne, Texas, on June 7, 2005. Topics covered during the meeting were the work to be done to update the model, an overview of groundwater modeling, the hydrogeology of the Trinity-Hill Country aquifer, and the tentative work schedule. We plan to update the model to meet GAM standards, add the Lower Trinity aquifer to the model, make adjustments to the structure of the existing layers, and redistribute recharge and pumping. According to the present tentative work schedule, work to update the model, including the report, may be completed by the end of 2005. During the meeting, stakeholders asked several questions pertaining to various aspects of the model. The following is a synopsis of stakeholder questions and comments (bold) and our responses (italics).
• How will the Hammett Shale be simulated? We will simulate the Hammett Shale using the vertical hydraulic conductivity for groundwater flow between the Middle and Lower Trinity aquifers. Vertical hydraulic conductivity values will be determined through the model calibration process.
• Would model efforts by groundwater conservation districts (GCDs) duplicate work done on GAM? Modeling efforts by GCDs will likely supplement work done on GAM. The GAMs developed by the TWDB are regional-scale models designed to give a “big picture” view of aquifer responses to projected pumping and drought. Sometimes GCDs need to address local-scale issues within their boundaries that would be better addressed using local-scale models.
• How well does the model simulate Jacob's well spring? We will check on that.

• A stakeholder noted that Bexar Met Water District is looking at pumping 15,000 acre-feet per year in northern Bexar County. We will check to see whether that pumping is included in the projected pumping in the model.
• A stakeholder has observed groundwater flow to the north near the Haby Crossing Fault. When we run the model we will try to simulate this but there is the possibility that northward groundwater flow in that part of the aquifer may be a local-scale issue that can not be replicated in a regional-scale model.
• New pumping test information. We are interested in incorporating into the model any pumping test data that GCDs or other entities have collected.
• Stakeholder had questions related to how well the model predicted future aquifer responses. Model uncertainty is related to uncertainty in input parameters, pumping projections, and climate assumptions. The uncertainties increase into the future. We plan to study model uncertainty in the future.
• LBG-Guyton Associates did a Lower Trinity aquifer study for regional water planning groups in the model area. We will review these study reports and incorporate applicable data.
• Need to look for recharge data related to Cibolo Creek in the Trinity Glen Rose GCD groundwater management plan. We will attempt to acquire a copy of this report and incorporate the applicable data.
• What are the sources of structural geology data. We obtain structural geology data from different sources including previous studies, geophysical logs, and drillers’ logs.
