31 Tex. Admin. Code § 356.72 - Annual Report Review

(a) When a district has received an annual report required under Texas Water Code § 36.1015(e)(6) and reviewed the report for any missing information, the district will submit the report to the agency and request a review, under Texas Water Code § 36.1015(j). The agency will investigate and issue a technical report to the district that sent the request, subject to subsection (b) of this section.
(b) Upon receipt of a request, the agency will determine whether it has received the applicable annual report and all of the information required under Texas Water Code § 36.1015(e)(6), and for a project located in a designated brackish groundwater production zone in the Gulf Coast Aquifer, the information required to be collected under Texas Water Code § 36.1015(e)(5) related to subsidence. If the agency has not received all of the information required under Texas Water Code § 36.1015(e)(6) or §36.1016(e)(5), as applicable, the agency will notify the district of the missing information and will not conduct a technical review of the reports until all required information is received.
(c) Not later than the 120th day after the date the agency receives all of the required information, the agency will investigate and issue a technical report on whether:
(1) brackish groundwater production from the designated brackish groundwater production zone under the project that is the subject of the report is projected to cause:
(A) significant aquifer level declines in the same or an adjacent aquifer, subdivision of an aquifer, or geologic stratum that were not anticipated by the agency in the designation of the zone;
(B) negative effects on quality of water in an aquifer, subdivision of an aquifer, or geologic stratum; or
(C) for a project located in a designated brackish groundwater production zone in the Gulf Coast Aquifer, subsidence during the permit term; or
(2) enough information is available to determine if brackish groundwater production from the designated brackish groundwater production zone under the project that is the subject of the report is projected to cause the conditions listed in paragraph 1 of this subsection.
