(a) The legislature finds that:
(1) the quality of water in East Texas is materially affected by the disposal of waste throughout the region;
(2) a regional effort to study water pollution, plan corrective and preventive measures, provide coordinated facilities for waste disposal, and regulate waste disposal is far more effective than efforts on a smaller scale;
(3) solid waste, as well as other waste, may impair water quality by seepage or drainage; and
(4) creation of the district would advance the established policy of this state to maintain the quality of the water in the state consistent with:
(A) public health and enjoyment;
(B) the propagation and protection of terrestrial and aquatic life;
(C) the operation of existing industries; and
(D) the economic development of the state.
(b) All area included in the district will benefit from the exercise of the power conferred by this chapter.
