        (1) The summary report must identify concerns relating to the watershed or bodies of water, including an identification of bodies of water with impaired or potentially impaired uses, the cause and possible source or use impairment, and recommended actions that may be taken to address those concerns.       
        (2) The summary report must discuss the public benefits from the water quality monitoring and assessment program, including efforts to increase public input in activities related to water quality and the effectiveness of targeted monitoring in assisting the permitting process.       
        (3) Prior to submittal of the report to the agencies listed in subsection (a) of this section, the river authority will present the report to the basin steering committee for approval and will also make the report available to water right holder and wastewater permit holders for review and comment.       
        (4) All comments regarding satisfaction with or suggestions for modification of the report for the watershed, the operation and/or effectiveness of the monitoring and assessment program, and the use of funds shall be considered, summarized, and submitted, along with the approved summary report, to the governor, the lieutenant governor, and the speaker of the house of representatives not later than 90 days after submission to the commission and other agencies listed in paragraphs (1) - (3) of this subsection.       
      (b) Basin highlight reports. Each river authority and designated local government will develop a basin highlight report annually to be provided to each member of the basin steering committee and all fee payers within the basin. This report should summarize Texas Clean Rivers Program activities conducted in the basin. Procedures for electronic distribution should be developed to ensure most efficient availability to the public.
