The Southeast Texas Photochemical Modeling Committee (SETPMTC)
is a TCEQ advisory group organized to assist the agency in
addressing technical and scientific issues relating to air quality
in the Houston/Galveston/Brazoria (HGB) and Beaumont/Port Arthur
(BPA) areas. The SETPMTC includes representatives from industry,
county and city government and various environmental groups.
Participating in the SETPMTC
Anyone who is interested in these topics may attend this
advisory group’s meetings and participate in the discussion.
If you have any question about this advisory group or would like to
be added to a mailing list for the group, please send an e-mail to
aqp@tceq.state.tx.us with
“SETPMTC” in the subject line.
Committee Meetings
The SETPMTC holds bimonthly meetings to share and discuss
technical issues related to the photochemical modeling of air
quality. Meeting notifications, agendas and pertinent materials
from those meetings will be available on this page.
Meeting Schedule
Meetings are held at the offices of the Houston-Galveston
Area Council, 3555 Timmons Avenue
Houston, Texas,
beginning at 10 a.m. The tentative agenda will be posted on this
page one week prior to each meeting.
