Long expanses of overhead doors should be relieved by matching their color to the wall or trim, recessing the doors, or adding architectural details to diminish the dominance of the doors. Recommendations-Environmental Protection The City should adopt a surface water protection program to provide a mechanism for increased protection of the back-up, emergency water supply of Lake Crook through efforts at the state and local level. Based on recommendations from the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), the City should specify wellhead protection standards for groundwater protection. These elements are also applicable to surface water protection. Delineate a Lake Crook Protection Area; 2. Identify potential sources of contamination within the delineated area; 3. Specify roles and duties of local government entities; 4. Develop a management approach for land uses within the delineated area; 5. Develop a contingency approach for an emergency water supply; and 6. Ensure public awareness and participation. The City should support continued study of the environmental threats to Lake Crook, independently, and in concert with the TNRCC. The City should also participate in the Northeast Texas Regional Water Plan (Senate Bill 1 Plan). Procedures for continual review of state and federal environmental requirements should be evaluated and adopted. Initiate a maintenance assurance program for property owners within the delineated L;ake Crook Protection Area with on-site septic systems. The program should include an education and awareness element that includes the Pat Mayse Lake area, as well. Recommendations-Concentrated Feeding Operation Standards The new site plan review procedures should be applied in the "Passive Recreation/Low Impact Recreational" areas to assure compliance with all TNRCC requirements to protect against water contamination from feedlots. All proposed Concentrated Feeding Operations should be subject to City of Paris site plan review. The site plan submittal should demonstrate how the following conditions are met: • All wastes from a concentrated animal feeding operation should be controlled so that there is no discharge of waste (including stormwater runoff that comes in contact with animal waste) from the property; and no discharge of wastes, S:V8288\WPClfinal rcpun 2-01.doc 74 BWR
