2010 SAC lessons learned from initial SB3 BBEST activities

The BBEST and BBASC groups from the Trinity/San Jacinto/Galveston Bay and the Sabine/Neches/Sabine Lake basins have completed and submitted their final reports, and their recommendations are now before the TCEQ for rulemaking on environmental flow standards in these basins. The Science Advisory Committee (SAC) thought it appropriate to reflect and report on lessons learned from the experiences of these first two BBEST groups. It is our hope that these observations will be helpful to the next group of BBEST and BBASC members as they undertake their respective responsibilities under SB3.
