View on source(a)In this section, "development board" means the Texas Water Development Board. (a-1) A district shall, not later than three years after the creation of the district or, if the district required confirmation, not later than three years after the election confirming the district's creation, submit the management plan required under Section 36.1071 to the executive administrator for review and approval.
(b)Within 60 days of receipt of a district's management plan adopted under Section 36.1071, readopted under Subsection (e) or (g) of this section, or amended under Section 36.1073, the executive administrator shall approve the district's plan if the plan is administratively complete. A management plan is administratively complete when it contains the information required to be submitted under Sections 36.1071(a) and (e) or meets the requirements of Section 36.1071(b-2), if applicable. The executive administrator may determine whether conditions justify waiver of the requirements under Section 36.1071(e)(4).
(c)Once the executive administrator has approved a district's management plan:
(1)the executive administrator may not revoke but may require revisions to the approved management plan as provided by Subsection (g); and
(2)the executive administrator may request additional information from the district if the information is necessary to clarify, modify, or supplement previously submitted material, but a request for additional information does not render the management plan unapproved.
(d)A management plan takes effect on approval by the executive administrator or, if appealed, on approval by the development board.
