Abstract

There are presently 108 existing and planned facilities in the study area that are permitted to discharge 118 MGD of treated wastewater. The purpose of this intensive survey was to provide the Texas Water Commission with valid information to: (1) determine quantitative cause and effect relationships of water quality; (2) obtain data for updating water quality management plans, setting effluent limits, and where appropriate, verifying the classifications of segments; (3) set priorities for establishing or improving pollution controls; and (4) determine any additional water quality management actions required.
