House Bill (HB) 3 and Senate Bill (SB) 3, 80th Legislature, 2007, require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to adopt by rule appropriate environmental flow standards for each river basin and bay system in the state.

Environmental flow standards for the river and bay systems consisting of the Sabine and Neches Rivers and Sabine Lake Bay, and the Trinity and San Jacinto Rivers and Galveston Bay were adopted by the Commission on April 20, 2011.

Staff continues to work on implementation of the new environmental flow standards. If you are interested in having specific issues considered, please submit your written comments to Steve Ramos at steve.ramos@tceq.texas.gov by July 8, 2011.

Comments will also be accepted at the upcoming Water Rights Advisory Workgroup meeting at a date to be determined.
