Public Participation and the Implementation Plan
The Cole and Ropes Parks Bacteria Reduction Implementation Plan Coordination Committee (CARP) is a community elected group that will be drafting an Implementation Plan – a public plan to reduce bacteria levels at Cole and Ropes Parks. This committee and its workgroups met throughout 2012 and 2013 to develop a draft plan. If you have questions about this effort, please give us a call at 361-882-3439.
Background on Bacteria Issue
Data from the Texas Beach Watch Program show bacteria concentrations were higher than the criteria for protecting contact recreation activities, such as swimming or windsurfing, at Cole Park and Ropes Park beaches in Corpus Christi, TX. The goal of this project is to reduce bacteria levels at these beaches in order to protect people who use the beaches for contact recreation.
