Kudos

“As a safety manager, I hold subcontractors to the highest standards, particularly when performing high-risk tasks such as scientific diving.  Zara easily met my expectations in the field by diligently documenting inspections and cylinder levels, consistently observing their approved dive safety plans, and behaving safely in each task they performed.  I appreciated their professionalism in performing their tasks safely throughout the project”

 “During construction of a project in San Antonio, we uncovered a unknown karst feature near the mapped limits of the Robber Baron Cave.  After one call to Zara, we had specialists in the feature who were able to evaluate, monitor, sample for endangered species and provide a closure plan.  We were very pleased with Zara’s quick response and expertise which allowed construction to proceed according to schedule.”

PictureThis is our back yard. Stop by for a visit!
The Zara Environmental office is located on the west side of Manchaca, Texas. Our building is perched on the edge of Bear Creek, just downstream of the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. A fault juxtaposing the Austin Chalk against the Buda Limestone Formations causes a waterfall that drops into a large plunge pool. When sufficient flow makes it across the recharge zone this stretch makes for a fun paddling trip.

The City of Austin has chosen Zara Environmental to host a stream gauge measuring the discharge of Bear Creek at our office.  The Bear Creek watershed upstream of Zara has a Catchment of over 16,000 acres, with an over 9 kilometer stream segment passing through the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone.  It is the City's goal to quantify the amount of recharge along this stretch of Bear Creek by comparing the flows at upstream gauges along Bear Creek to the gauge at Zara.
