Environmental Leadership Policy
The Brazos River Authority provides leadership in protecting and improving the quality of water within the Brazos River watershed.
We maintain a basin-wide watershed program designed to identify significant long-term water quality trends, characterize watershed conditions, support the permitting process, and provide valuable data for the classification of waters. The Brazos River Authority identifies water quality issues and impacts throughout the Brazos River watershed and works with appropriate entities to solve identified problems. The Authority maintains a strong environmental management system and conducts rigorous evaluations of its operations and facilities to ensure ongoing improvement in environmental protection. The Brazos River Authority implements innovative and effective actions designed to provide excellent water quality, and achieve high environmental leadership goals.
As a leader in water quality management, the Authority strives to implement water quality protection standards and practices for its facilities and projects and, at a minimum, to maintain and implement State and Federal water quality standards.
In the Authority's role as a water quality leader, and to ensure the highest level of environmental protection for the Brazos River watershed, our staff participates in activities and events and serves on committees to facilitate the protection, improvement, and good stewardship of watersheds throughout the State of Texas.
The Authority's Environmental Services Section conducts comprehensive water quality monitoring, analysis, and data management to provide valuable scientific information on basin environmental conditions.

Quality Management
Quality is "the totality of characteristics of an entity that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs" [ISO
8402. 1994]. The Environmental Quality Management procedures
and practices include systematic quality planning, assurance,
and control activities. Quality management is designed to
ensure the integrity of environmental data produced by the
Authority's Environmental Services Section, and to satisfy
the needs of the regional projects undertaken by the Authority.
