The mission of the Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District is to conserve, preserve and protect the quality and quantity of the groundwater resources for the citizens of Comanche and Erath Counties. To accomplish its Mission, the District will work to minimize the draw down of the water table, prevent the waste of groundwater, prevent interference between the wells, protect the existing and historic use of groundwater, prevent the degradation of the quality of groundwater, use public education to promote water conservation, give consideration the service needs of municipal water utilities and the agricultural community, and carry out the powers and duties conferred under Chapter 36 of the Texas Water Code. The District believes that the economy, environment, and quality of life will all be positively impacted by the achievement of its mission. II. Purpose of Management Plan
The 75th Texas Legislature in 1997 enacted Senate Bill 1 ("SB 1")1 to establish a comprehensive statewide water planning process. In particular, SB 1 contained provisions that required groundwater conservation districts to prepare management plans to identify the water supply resources and water demands that will shape the decisions of each district. SB 1 designed the management plans to include management goals for each district to manage and conserve the groundwater resources within their boundaries. In 2001, the Texas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 2 ("SB 2")2 to build on the planning requirements of SB 1 and to further clarify the actions necessary for districts to manage and conserve the groundwater resources of the state of Texas. The Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District’s management plan satisfies the requirements of SB 1, SB 2, the statutory requirements of Chapter 36 of the Texas Water Code, and the administrative requirements of the Texas Water Development Board's (TWDB) rules.
