Interested parties have until September 1, 2014, to submit comments on the proposed rules for state water plan funding through the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT) and State Water Implementation Revenue Fund for Texas (SWIRFT).
Stakeholders interested in providing input on the draft rules can send written comments to rulescomments@twdb.texas.gov; to our General Counsel at P.O. Box 13231, Austin, TX 78711-3231; or through our online comment form.
The comment period opened July 11, 2014, when the draft rules were published in the Texas Register. Since then, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has held three work sessions in San Antonio, San Angelo, and Fort Worth. The work sessions provided opportunities for the public to hear updates on the rule-making process and to comment before the Board. The TWDB encourages the public to continue participating in the rule development process by submitting comments before the September 1, 2014, deadline. The final version of the rules is scheduled to be published in December 2014.
