Urging the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to take immediate and decisive action to protect the Edwards Aquifer.
This concurrent resolution (HCR 121) urges the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to take immediate action to protect the Edwards Aquifer from contamination. It specifically calls for the TCEQ to prevent irreversible pollution from wastewater discharges (like the proposed Guajolote Ranch plan) and construction activities that threaten the aquifer’s recharge zones. The resolution cites a Southwest Research Institute study showing such wastewater systems would "significantly degrade" water quality for the aquifer, which supplies clean drinking water to 1.7 million Texans. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change laws but formally requests regulatory action from the TCEQ.
