Primary activities. For library faculty, performance or activities as listed in the job description and expressed in the annual Library Faculty Assigned Activities form constitutes 80% of the assigned duties for library faculty. Demonstration of job performance will differ according to the area of responsibility within the Library and the particular circumstances of each library faculty member.
Primary activities. The Superintendent shall possess the following powers and be charged with the following duties:
Primary activities. Up to 30 sites (xxxxx, springs, recharge sites, and cave streams) will be sampled across the confined, transition, and recharge zones of the BSEA. Final site selections will be dependent on access and permissions, but we are working to secure these now. I (Xxxxxxxx) have spoken with staff at the BSEACD before submission of the proposal, and more recently, and have confirmed that the District will collaborate with us and provide access to xxxxx they own, and/or to provide contact information for landowners with whom they have existing good relationships. We plan to monitor several locations in the Xxxxxx Springs Complex using drift nets that will be checked frequently. Exactly which locations will be monitored will be determined based on conversations with City of Austin staff, but we anticipate 3-5 sites that include some or all of the following spring openings: Main, Eliza, Sunken Garden, and Upper Xxxxxx. We plan to divide the remaining ~25 sites approximately equally between 1) xxxxx in the recharge zone that have produced groundwater invertebrates in the past (i.e., Xxxxxxx Water Quality Well, Zara Headquarters Well, etc.), 2) xxxxx in the deep freshwater confined zone (these may be harder to access and/or sample, but we have accessed some of these in the past, such as the Xxxx Transect xxxxx, for geochemical and isotopic samples), 3) xxxxx at or near the fresh- saline water interface, but without dissolved oxygen (BSEACD staff have told us that there are several sites that may be suitable and accessible for these samples, which would be for geochemistry, water and sulfur isotopes, POM, and bacteria sampling only, as sites without DO (and with H2S) do not harbor eukaryotes), 4) drift- and hand-sampling in cave streams in the recharge zone (i.e., Blowing Sink Cave) where cave invertebrates are known to occur, and 5) water and POM samples collected in streams crossing the recharge zone where they enter the aquifer (numerous direct recharge sites along Barton, Williamson, Xxxxxxxxx, Bear, Little Bear, and Onion Creeks where access is controlled by CoA or BSEACD). Finally, we will coordinate with the BSEACD to collect samples from targeted depths (in the Xxxxxxx or Upper Trinity aquifer strata) at their XxxxXxx Multi-Port xxxxx whenever it is possible, though those samples would only be for various analyses of POM and dissolved constituents (not invertebrate sampling). We have done this in the past at one of these xxxxx. At each site, some or all of the fo...
