TCEQ denies request to set water trigger.

The article discusses the surprise decision passed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on February 26, 2014 after commissioners failed to set a specific water level trigger for the Highland Lakes. The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) Board of Directors initially approved an emergency request in December 2013 seeking authority to cut off water deliveries downstream unless combined lake levels were at least 1.1 million acre feet.
