Reports
TFS regularly monitors randomly selected forest operations to evaluate the level of BMP implementation in Texas. Since 1991, overall BMP implementation has increased by almost 20 percent to an all-time high of 94 percent in 2015.
TFS also conducted an intensive, highly technological stream monitoring project designed to test the effectiveness of BMPs in protecting water quality. Results showed that Texas BMPs, when applied properly, are effective in protecting water quality.
