Section 356.31 - Desired Future Condition Package Submission Date(a) The desired future conditions for the relevant aquifers within the groundwater management area must be approved by a resolution adopted by a two-thirds vote of all the district representatives in a groundwater management area not later than January 5, 2027, in accordance with Texas Water Code § 36.108. Subsequent desired future conditions must be proposed and finally adopted by the district representatives before the end of each successive five-year period after that date.(b) A designated representative of the groundwater management area must provide complete copies of all documents required under § 356.32 of this subchapter (relating to Desired Future Condition Package) to the executive administrator no later than 60 days following the date on which the district representatives within the groundwater management area adopted desired future conditions.(c) The district representatives in a groundwater management area may, as part of the process for adopting and submitting desired future conditions, propose classification of a relevant aquifer or portions of a relevant aquifer as non-relevant if the districts determine that aquifer characteristics, projected groundwater demands, and current groundwater uses do not warrant adoption of a desired future condition. Non-relevant aquifers do not require a desired future condition. The districts must submit the following documentation for non-relevant aquifers to the agency as part of the desired future condition package:(1) A description, location, and/or map of the aquifer or portion of the aquifer;(2) A summary of aquifer characteristics, projected groundwater demands, and current groundwater uses, including the total estimated recoverable storage as provided by the executive administrator, that support the conclusion that desired future conditions in adjacent or hydraulically connected relevant aquifer(s) will not be affected; and(3) An explanation of why the aquifer or portion of the aquifer is non-relevant for joint planning purposes.31 Tex.
