This contract will allow for maintenance at 13 City ponds on an as needed basis with the use of Texas Department of Agriculture, Clean Water Act, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved herbicides and algaecides as required and within the conditions of all Federal and State permits for the treatment of water sites/ponds.
