The Texas Environmental Research Consortium (Consortium) was established in February 2002 to help policymakers and regulatory agencies improve their understanding of ozone science and air modeling along the East Texas Gulf Coast Region through directed research and applied science projects. The goals of the Consortium are:
- To coordinate with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to develop and implement an air quality research agenda that augments the TCEQ's research efforts and leads to improved understanding of ozone science and air modeling in the East Texas Gulf Coast region; and
- To support and facilitate the development of sound air quality policies in the State of Texas and within the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria non-attainment region during the mid-course review in 2004 and beyond.
HARC is the Research Management Organization for the Consortium.
