About the Committee

This voluntary group provides advice and comment to the TCEQ on its project to improve water quality in Petronila Creek, one of two segments being addressed under a TMDL project for dissolved solids in the Colorado River Below E.V. Spence Reservoir and Petronila Creek. The TCEQ worked with interested stakeholders to form a group that has balanced representation for government, permitted facilities, agriculture, business, environmental, and community interests in the Houston Ship Channel watershed. Meetings of the Stakeholder Group are open to all interested parties.
