Rulemaking Petitions
The Texas Aggregates and Concrete Association (TACA) and the Lake Houston Area Grassroots Flood Prevention Initiative (FPI) filed separate petitions for rulemaking with TCEQ on June 15, 2020, and June 23, 2020, respectively. Both organizations recommended the TCEQ adopt a new rule that would establish best management practices for commercial sand mining and other lawful purposes within the San Jacinto Watershed. The commission approved the two petitions to initiate rulemaking with stakeholder involvement on August 12, 2020.
