Remediation of contaminated groundwater can be challenging and costly. By restricting the use of groundwater beneath a property for potable purposes using a Municipal Setting Designation (MSD), the costs to address the contamination can be reduced as well as assist in the redevelopment of properties. An MSD is an ordinance that restricts groundwater beneath a property for potable purposes which must be approved by the respective municipality and certified by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. In this presentation, Clayton will go over the criteria that must be met in order to be eligible for an MSD as well as the challenges and advantages of an MSD.
