TITLE 30ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
PART 1TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
CHAPTER 298ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW STANDARDS FOR SURFACE WATER
SUBCHAPTER BTRINITY AND SAN JACINTO RIVERS, AND GALVESTON BAY
RULE §298.210Findings

(a) The Trinity and San Jacinto rivers, their associated tributaries, Galveston Bay, and the associated estuaries are healthy and sound ecological environments.

(b) The commission finds that these sound ecological environments can best be maintained by a set of flow standards that implement a schedule of flow quantities that contain subsistence flow, base flow, and one level of high flow pulses at defined measurement points. Minimum flow levels for these components will vary by season and by year since the amount of precipitation and, therefore, whether a system is in subsistence or base flow conditions, will vary from year to year and within a year from season to season, and the number of pulses protected will also vary with the amount of precipitation.
