Notice of Public Hearings and Opportunity for Comment on the Edwards Aquifer Protection Program
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) conducts annual public hearings to receive comments from the public on actions the commission should take to protect the Edwards Aquifer from pollution, as required under Texas Water Code, §26.046. These annual public hearings are held by the Edwards Aquifer Protection Program and cover the TCEQ rules, found at Title 30, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 213, which regulate development over the delineated contributing, recharge, and transition zones of the Edwards Aquifer. These annual public hearings assist the commission in its shared responsibility with local governments, such as cities, counties, and groundwater conservation districts, to protect the water quality of the aquifer.
