Background Information:
Narrative: The Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan has been an ongoing program since January 2013. The partnership between three of its signatories, the Edwards Aquifer Authority (Program Manager), City of San Marcos and Texas State University have complied with an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) since that date. The current ILA terminates on December 31, 2020, so a new ILA is proposed to cover the period 2021 - 2028. This time period represents the final years of the current Incidental Take Permit.
