***On Behalf of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality***

With the approval of the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council Planning Framework , Toby Baker, Texas’ appointee to the RESTORE Council and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Executive Director, working with various Texas based workgroups and County Judges representing RESTORE eligible counties, has identified programs/projects that are being considered for submission as pre-proposals to the RESTORE Council for Bucket 2 funding consideration. That round of funding is estimated at $360 million for the five Gulf Coast states.

As part of that effort, Baker is hosting two public meetings to receive public comment on each of the 23 potential programs/projects listed under 17 designations. These proposals will be the focus of the public meetings and requested public comment.
