eceives notice from another agency or when <strong>TCEQ</strong> independently documents a case<br />
of groundwater contamination, the <strong>TCEQ</strong> must make every effort to provide notice,<br />
via first class mail, to each owner of a private drinking water well that may be<br />
affected by the contamination. The notice must be provided within 30 days of the<br />
determination (or receipt of information from another agency). Additionally, notice<br />
must also be provided to any applicable groundwater conservation district.<br />
The TGPC adopted rules as required by the statute to “prescribe the form <strong>and</strong> content<br />
of notice” provided by the <strong>TCEQ</strong>. New 31 TAC §601.10 became effective on<br />
November 12, 2003 (Appendix 4). The <strong>TCEQ</strong> Executive Director sent letters to other<br />
members of the TGPC to alert them of the statute <strong>and</strong> their need to inform <strong>TCEQ</strong> of<br />
new cases of contamination. Since the statute became effective on September 1,<br />
2003, <strong>TCEQ</strong> staff has implemented various activities resulting in mailed notice to<br />
well owners within the m<strong>and</strong>ated timeframe. 39 new cases of contamination during<br />
calendar year 2009 required notice to private drinking water well owners <strong>and</strong> are<br />
listed in Figure 4.<br />
