The Texas Legislature
created the Pineywoods Groundwater Conservation District (PGCD)
and public confirmation was on November 6, 2001. The PGCD's
mission is to provide for the conservation, preservation,
protection, recharging, and prevention of waste of
groundwater, and of groundwater reservoirs or their
subdivisions, and to control
subsidence caused by withdrawal of water from those
groundwater reservoirs or their subdivisions, consistent
with the objectives of Section 59, Article XVI, Texas
Constitution, groundwater conservation districts may be
created as provided by this chapter. The Pineywoods
Groundwater Conservation District issues water well permits
and operating permits for exempt and non-exempt wells,
collects groundwater information and investigates water
quality. It is the belief of the Texas Legislature,
District's residents and the Board of Directors that
groundwater is best managed locally through a groundwater
conservation district. This belief is realized by the
adoption and implementation of a management plan outlining
the goals, methods, and procedures utilized in the
management of the groundwater resources of the District.
The District's Management
Plan was approved on February 25, 2004. The Districts Enforcement Authority is
established by the Texas Water Code §36.102.
