The Draft 2022 deliverable was prepared by NCTCOG under the guidance of the Water Resources Council, which consists of representatives from the North Central Texas region’s joint treatment works and their customers, representatives from non-profit organizations, and other water quality experts. The Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) then incorporates the annual North Central Texas WQMP into its statewide water quality
planning efforts.
At its next meeting on July 13, 2022, the Water Resources Council will discuss the Draft 2022 WQMP and public comments received, and then consider recommending it for adoption by NCTCOG's Executive Board. NCTCOG's Executive board is scheduled to review the Draft 2022 WQMP at its meeting on August 25, 2022. Pending adoption by NCTCOG's Executive Board, the Final 2022 Update to the North Central Texas WQMP will be submitted to TCEQ. This project is funded through a grant from TCEQ and U.S. EPA.
