Texas Gulf Coast regional authority eyed to curb Galveston Bay pollution
An interim legislative committee recommended creating the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority to cover Harris Galveston and Chambers counties. It would regulate water quality and waste disposal, have eminent domain and enforcement powers, appoint a nine member board, and coordinate with the Texas Water Quality Board to develop area wide systems for collection treatment and disposal. The plan targets air and water pollution and seeks state rate making authority.
