Description:
This agreement provides funding for the operation of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) continuing environmental programs while giving it greater flexibility to address its highest environmental priorities, improve environmental performance, achieve savings, and strengthen the partnership between TCEQ and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This agreement funds state continuing environmental programs for air, water, land, pollution prevention, and chemical safety.

Activities:
The activities to be performed include assisting the TCEQ in administering the state's base water quality program that aims to prevent, reduce, and eliminate water pollution through standard-setting, monitoring, permitting, and enforcement activities. It also aims to assist in administering the state's environmental management programs, which monitor, abate, and control hazardous solid waste, air pollution, and pesticides.

Subrecipient:
Subrecipient activities include monitoring and assessment, which will assist TCEQ in establishing and maintaining adequate measures for prevention and control of surface and groundwater pollution. Additionally, subawards are local air programs to operate, support, and maintain air monitoring stations.

Outcomes:
The anticipated deliverables include annual and final progress reports, quality assurance project plans, and final project reports. The expected outcomes from this agreement are associated with managing continuing environmental programs, which include activities to protect and maintain air, water, land, pollution prevention, and chemical safety.

Direct beneficiaries of this program are the citizens of the state of Texas.
