Coordinating Implementation of the Tres Palacios Watershed Protection Plan

Summary

Texas Water Resources Institute will coordinate with stakeholder groups to update and identify water quality project needs and work with state and federal agencies to acquire technical and financial resources to implement WPP management measures.  TWRI will develop publications, newsletters, fact sheets, website content and other materials that promote watershed pollution prevention.  TWRI will coordinate and conduct water resources education and outreach efforts across the Tres Palacios Creek watershed and organize educational programs such as the Texas Well Owner Network.  Success will be evaluated based on the number of educational programs brought to the watershed and attendance at these programs. Progress towards achieving milestones established in the WPP will be tracked to determine when to implement of the Tres Palacios I-Plan, upon the TCEQ’s approval.  Progress will also be tracked through water quality data collected by the Clean Rivers Program on Tres Palacios Creek.
