RE: Proposed Resolution No. 14976
COMMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:

Quality totaling $66,768.50 for annual Consolidated Water Quality Fees (CWQ Assessment Fee).
Account to be charged: 410-1256-532.54-00.
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill 818 requires a comprehensive water quality assessment (evaluation) in each river basin in
Texas (Texas Water Code §26.0135). Senate Bi11818 requires the TCEQ to recover the reasonable costs
of the assessment program from wastewater permit and water use permit holders. The permitted daily
average flow and maximum pollutant loading are used as the basis for calculatirig these fees.
BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT:
Funds aze budgeted and available in the Utility Operations Department, Wastewater Treatment Division
budget account no.410-1256-532.54-00. This amount shows an decrease of $8,961.50 from last yeaz's
total of $75,730 due to the effluent limits for the Port Acres W WTP being reduced during our last permit
renewal cycle.
STAFFING/EMPLOYEE EFFECT:
None.
SUMMARY:
