INTRODUCTION
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act as Amended, passed
in the closing days of the 92nd Congress, has been hailed as the
most far reaching environmental protection measure ever enacted by
Congress. Section 208 of the FWPCAA was Included to encourage
states and local governments to engage in areawide planning and
management of i'raste treatment and water quality control programs.
The Nation's governors are the primary decision makers under Section
208. The governor may designate urban-industrial areas which he
identifies as having a "substantial" wa*.er quality control problem.
When an area is designated, an areawide planning agency must also
be designated. The Texas Water Quality Board was charged by the
Governor through Executive order #18 to provide recommendations
for designated areas and planning agencies. These recommendations
are contained herein as is a copy of Executive Order #18 rnd other
informational data, it is the purpose of the public hearings to
solicit advice from the public, affectod local officials, and
other concerned parties concerning the proposed designated areas
and they planning agencies.

standard can be achieved for the next five years if the City of
San Antonio waste treatment plants treat their effluent to the
maximum level achievable with current technology. Based on the
uncertainty of the growth projections, the degree of reliability of
the computer model, and the unproven reliability of currently
developing waste treatment technology, it is highly possible that
the streams will not meet the fishable, swimmable objective for
