Additionally, the Texas Water code (TWC), § 5.012 and § 5.013, gives the TCEQ primary responsibility for implementing the laws of the State of Texas relating to water and adopting rules necessary to carry out its powers and duties under the TWC. The TCEQ, under the authority of the TWC and the Texas Health and Safety Code, requires owner’s to provide notice to the public that certain types of OSSFs are located on specific pieces of property.
