| (a) If a district makes a request under Texas Water
Code §36.1015(j), the agency will investigate and issue a technical
report to the district that sent the request, subject to subsection
(b) of this subsection.
(b) Upon receipt of a request, the agency will determine
whether it has received the applicable annual report and all of the
information required under Texas Water Code §36.1015(e)(6), and
for a project located in a designated brackish groundwater production
zone in the Gulf Coast Aquifer, the information required to be collected
under Texas Water Code §36.1015(e)(5) related to subsidence.
If the agency has not received all of the information required under
Texas Water Code §36.1015(e)(6) or §36.1016(e)(5), as applicable,
the agency will notify the district of the missing information and
will not conduct a technical review of the reports until all required
information is received.
(c) Not later than the 120th day after the date the
agency receives all of the required information, the agency will investigate
and issue a technical report on whether:
(1) brackish groundwater production under the project
that is the subject of the report from the designated brackish groundwater
production zone is projected to cause:
(A) significant aquifer level declines in the same
or an adjacent aquifer, subdivision of an aquifer, or geologic stratum
that were not anticipated by the agency in the designation of the
zone;
(B) negative effects on quality of water in an aquifer,
subdivision of an aquifer, or geologic stratum; or
(C) for a project located in a designated brackish
groundwater production zone in the Gulf Coast Aquifer, subsidence
during the permit term; or
(2) whether not enough information is available to
determine whether brackish groundwater production under the project
that is the subject of the report from the designated brackish groundwater
production zone is projected to cause the conditions listed in subsection
(c)(1) of this section.
