Clean Rivers Program

Print Friendly, PDF & EmailPrint Friendly

stream Restoration what_is_stream_res-1In 1991, the Texas Legislature passed the Texas Clean  Rivers Act [Senate Bill 818]. The Act was intended to move Texas towards comprehensive water resources planning and management to ensure the integrity of the state’s water supply over the long term. The Clean  Rivers Act requires an ongoing assessment of water quality issues and management strategies statewide.  The Act established the Texas Clean Rivers Program under the Texas Water Commission (now the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, or TCEQ). The program is funded by fees assessed on wastewater discharge permittees and water rights holders as well as through TCEQ’s own state appropriations.

For more information on the Clean Rivers Program please visit the TCEQ CRP website. This website has information about the statewide program and links to Clean Rivers Program partner websites.


COOPERATIVE MONITORING SCHEDULE

The objective of the Cooperative Monitoring Schedule is to provide a process by which Planning Agencies will coordinate their monitoring activities with the TCEQ and other qualified monitoring organizations within the basin. The coordinated monitoring schedules are developed each spring in order to implement the new schedules for the coming fiscal year.

Further information may be found at the Lower Colorado River Authority’s website.

Plans

San Antonio River BasinQualityAssurance Project Plan

The Clean Rivers Program requires a Quality Assurance Project Plan in order to provide the level of consistency and scientific validity of data needed for decision-making across the state. Quality Assurance Project Plans are crucial for documenting how SARA plans, implements, and assesses the quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) activities related to water quality monitoring.

The San Antonio River Basin Work Plan was developed in accordance with guidance provided by the TCEQ with input from the San Antonio River Basin Steering Committee. The work plan contains the following sections: objectives, description of work that will be done under the task, new equipment, deliverables, and their due dates.
