TCEQ adopts draft 2026 Texas Integrated Report for submission to EPA
Summary
The commission approved the draft 2026 Texas Integrated Report (CWA sections 303(d)/305(b)) for submittal to EPA after staff summarized the methodology, public comment, and recommended redesignations; commissioners authorized minor non‑substantive revisions prior to filing.
TCEQ staff presented the draft 2026 Texas Integrated Report, which summarizes the state’s surface‑water quality assessments and lists impaired assessment units under Clean Water Act sections 303(d) and 305(b). Jason Gotto of the Water Quality Planning Division described the stakeholder process, the public comment period (Nov. 14–Dec. 13, 2025), and staff responses to five public comment letters included in the meeting materials.
Staff recommended adoption for submittal to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and requested permission to make non‑substantive edits before filing. The Office of Public Interest Counsel (Jessica Anderson) also recommended adoption, noting the report aids stakeholders by identifying water‑quality status across the state. Commissioners noted the proposed redesignation of 53 segments and voted to adopt the draft report for EPA submission.
