Texas Integrated Report of Surface Water Quality for Clean Water Act Sections 305(b) and 303(d)

The Texas Integrated Report evaluates the quality of surface waters in the state and provides resource managers with a tool for making informed decisions when directing agency programs.

The Texas Integrated Report describes the status of Texas’ natural waters based on historical data and the extent to which they attain the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards.

The Texas Integrated Report satisfies the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act Sections 305(b) and 303(d). The TCEQ produces a new report every two years in even-numbered years, as required by law. The 303(d) List must be approved by the EPA before it is final.

An advisory group works with the TCEQ on biennial reviews of the Guidance for Assessing Texas Surface Water Quality. This guidance is included with each Integrated Report.
