About the Advisory Group

This voluntary group provides advice and comment to the TCEQ on its project to improve water quality in the Leon River. The Leon River is one of several segments being addressed under a TMDL project to improve water quality in the San Antonio, Guadalupe, and Brazos River Basins. Committee members represent government, permitted facilities, agriculture, business, and environmental and community interests in the watershed.

This group advises the TCEQ about its TMDL work for the Leon River Below Proctor Lake, Segment 1221. The Brazos River Authority  is working with the TCEQ on this project. James Miertschin and Associates is the primary contractor for developing the TMDL.
