WEAT

Advocacy is fundamental to WEAT's mission. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit technical and educational organization, WEAT is dedicated to promoting scientifically sound environmental policy and regulations. To support this goal, WEAT monitors activities at state and federal regulatory agencies (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality - TCEQ and EPA) as well as the Texas Legislature. We keep our members informed of policy developments and serve as a resource to state and federal policymakers by offering our expertise and insight on water quality and resource related issues... The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) develops and enforces federal and state rules governing the operation of wastewater facilities in Texas. Rule changes can come from new laws passed by the Texas Legislature or Congress, as well as policy changes from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). TCEQ rules can also be changed through petitions from concerned citizens as well as TCEQ staff..
