the
Arroyo Colorado watershed

The Arroyo Colorado Watershed Steering Committee is a voluntary
group that advises the TMDL Program regarding the development of a
watershed protection plan that will include a TMDL for dissolved
oxygen in Arroyo Colorado Tidal (Segment 2201).
About the Advisory Group
The TCEQ worked with interested stakeholders to form a group
that has balanced representation from government, permitted
facilities, agriculture, business, environmental, and community
interests in the Arroyo Colorado watershed. Anyone who is
interested may attend meetings of this advisory group. Time is set
aside at each meeting for questions and comments from all
stakeholders in attendance.
Stakeholders in the Arroyo Colorado have formed the Arroyo Colorado Watershed
Partnership to promote and implement the watershed protection
plan. Their Web site also reports studies and activities of the
Steering Committee and its work groups.
Scheduled Meetings
No meetings are currently scheduled. See the individual Work Group pages for their meetings.
