This layer is intended to locate the Texas GCDs, to display the geographic extent of the GCD unit boundaries, and to satisfy the requirements of Texas Water Code, Chapters 35 and 36. Each individual GCD unit is responsible for maintaining its boundary records. TCEQ compiles this dataset to offer a statewide coverage of the existing GCDs for the general public. This dataset serves as a management and planning tool to support the statewide groundwater programs conducted by the state agencies. This dataset should not be used for any private or legal boundary disputes.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Texas groundwater conservation districts (GCD) are units of local government authorized and ratified at the local level to manage and protect groundwater. The GCDs are created through special law by the Texas Legislature or by administrative procedures through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The GCDs are authorized with powers and duties that enable them to manage groundwater resources, such as conservation, preservation, protection, recharging, and prevention of waste of the groundwater resources within their jurisdictions. The GCDs are governed by an elected or appointed board of directors, having three primary GCD authorities: permitting water wells, developing a comprehensive management plan and adopting the necessary rules to implement the management plan. TCEQ has exclusive jurisdiction for the creation of GCDs and the dissolution of GCDs under specific circumstances.</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV>
