The Attoyac Bayou watershed has been considered impaired due to elevated E. coli concentrations that routinely exceed state water quality standards since 2000.
Bayou Watershed Protection Plan to address these E. coli impairments. TWRI published the plan in July 2014. This plan includes management recommendations for E. coli sources that are practical and acceptable to stakeholders.
In 2009, stakeholders formed the Attoyac Bayou Watershed Partnership and developed the Attoyac Bayou Watershed Protection Plan to address these E. coli impairments. TWRI published the plan in July 2014. This plan includes management recommendations for E. coli sources that are practical and acceptable to stakeholders.
TWRI, Angelina & Neches River Authority, Pineywoods Resource Conservation & Development and Stephen F.
