Combined Notice of Public Meeting Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Water Quality Permit (NORI) and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016601001

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. GRBK Edgewood LLC and Rummel & Rohde Farms Ltd., 5501 Headquarters Drive, Suite 300W, Plano, Texas 75024, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016601001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 660,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on August 19, 2024.

This combined notice is being issued to update the facility location that was included in the NORI.

The facility will be located at 1051 County Road 369, Taylor, in Williamson County, Texas 76574 . The treated effluent will be discharged to North Fork Mustang Creek, thence to Mustang Creek, thence to Brushy Creek in Segment No. 1244 of the Brazos River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are limited aquatic life use for North Fork Mustang Creek and intermediate aquatic life use for Mustang Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 1244 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, aquifer protection, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and the Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the receiving waters was performed. A Tier 1 antidegradation review has preliminarily determined that existing water quality uses will not be impaired by this permit action. Numerical and narrative criteria to protect existing uses will be maintained. A Tier 2 review has preliminarily determined that no significant degradation of water quality is expected in Mustang Creek, which has been identified as having intermediate aquatic life use. Existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application.

The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director's preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Taylor Public Library, reference area, 801 Vance Street, Taylor, Texas.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments about this application. The TCEQ will hold a public meeting on this application because it was requested by a local legislator.

The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. A public meeting will be held and will consist of two parts, an Informal Discussion Period and a Formal Comment Period. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing under the Administrative Procedure Act. During the Informal Discussion Period, the public will be encouraged to ask questions of the applicant and TCEQ staff concerning the permit application. The comments and questions submitted orally during the Informal Discussion Period will not be considered before a decision is reached on the permit application and no formal response will be made. Responses will be provided orally during the Informal Discussion Period. During the Formal Comment Period on the permit application, members of the public may state their formal comments orally into the official record. A written response to all timely, relevant and material, or significant comments will be prepared by the Executive Director. All formal comments will be considered before a decision is reached on the permit application. A copy of the written response will be sent to each person who submits a formal comment or who requested to be on the mailing list for this permit application and provides a mailing address. Only relevant and material issues raised during the Formal Comment Period can be considered if a contested case hearing is granted on this permit application.

The Public Meeting is to be held:

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 7:00 p.m.

Williamson County Exposition Center

Persons with disabilities who need special accommodations at the meeting should call the Office of the Chief Clerk at (512) 239-3300 or (800) RELAY-TX (TDD) at least five business days prior to the meeting.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court.

TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant's name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period; and the statement "[I/we] request a contested case hearing." If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group's representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member's location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group's purpose.

Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed.

This is a notice for a notice and comment hearing on Federal Operating Permit Number O3961.

Date: May 27, 2025

Time: 7:00 p.m.

Location: Columbus Club Hall Brazoria

Brazoria, Texas 77422

Application and Draft Permit. Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, LP, 10001 Six Pines Dr, The Woodlands, Texas 77380-1498, an All-Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing facility, has applied to the TCEQ for a Renewal of Federal Operating Permit (herein referred to as permit) No. O3961, Application No. 35813 to authorize operation of the Polyethylene Units 40 41 and 1-Hexene Unit 81. The area addressed by the application is located at 21441 Loop 419 in Sweeny, Brazoria County, Texas 77480-1426. This application was received by the TCEQ on October 19, 2023.

The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, will codify the conditions under which the site must operate. The TCEQ Executive Director recommends issuance of the draft permit. The purpose of a federal operating permit is to improve overall compliance with the rules governing air pollution control by clearly listing all applicable requirements, as defined in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC) §122.10. The permit will not authorize new construction or new emissions.

Notice and Comment Hearing. The hearing will be structured for the receipt of oral or written comments by interested persons. Registration and an informal discussion period with commission staff members will begin during the first 30 minutes. During the informal discussion period, the public is encouraged to ask questions and engage in open discussion with the applicant and the TCEQ staff concerning this application and draft permit. Issues raised during this discussion period will only be addressed in the formal response to comments if the issue is also presented during the hearing. After the conclusion of the informal discussion period, the TCEQ will conduct a notice and comment hearing regarding the application and draft permit. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. A reasonable time limit may be established at the hearing to assure that enough time is allowed for every interested person to speak. There will be no open discussion during the hearing. The purpose of this hearing will be to receive formal public comment which the TCEQ will consider in determining whether to revise and/or issue the permit and in determining the accuracy and completeness of the permit. Any person may attend this meeting and submit written or oral comments. The hearing will be conducted in accordance with the Texas Clean Air Act §382.0561, as codified in the Texas Health and Safety Code, and 30 TAC §122.340.

Persons who have special communication or other accommodation needs who are planning to attend the hearing should contact the TCEQ Public Education Program toll free at (800) 687-4040 or (800) RELAY-TX (TDD), at least five business days prior to the hearing.

Dow Hydrocarbons and Resources LLC and The Dow Chemical Company , 2301 North Brazosport Boulevard, Freeport, Texas 77541, which operates Dow Texas Operations, an organic and inorganic chemical manufacturing plant, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a major amendment of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0000007000 to authorize the discharge of cooling tower blowdown and stormwater from additional sources via Outfall 001; authorize the discharge of cooling tower blowdown and stormwater from additional sources via Outfall 201; modify effluent limitation allocations at Outfall 601 for the chlor-alkali process wastewater contributing sources; increase effluent limitations at Outfall 701; increase effluent limitations at Outfall 202; authorize the additional discharge of once-through cooling water via Outfall 403; increase effluent limitations at Outfall 503; include permit language that acknowledges the internal recycling of raw water solids clarification decant water into the Dow raw water canal; incorporate the use of bioaccumulation equivalency factors in applicable effluent limitations and monitoring/reporting requirements for polychlorinated biphenyl compounds and dioxin/dibenzofuran compounds; increase the effluent limitations for total purgeable halocarbons at multiple outfalls (Outfalls 101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601, 701, 002, 102, 103, 203, and 403); remove effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for total phenols at Outfalls 701 and 202; and remove Outfall 111 from the permit.

The draft permit authorizes the discharge of previously monitored effluents (including process wastewater, utility wastewater, and stormwater discharges from Internal Outfalls 101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601, 701, 901, and 211), utility wastewater, stormwater, and previously regulated discharges from other facilities on a continuous and flow-variable basis via Outfall 001; previously monitored effluents (including process wastewater, utility wastewater, and stormwater discharges from Internal Outfalls 102 and 202), process wastewater, utility wastewater, and stormwater at a daily average flow not to exceed 500,000,000 gallons per day via Outfall 002; previously monitored effluents (including process wastewater, utility wastewater, and stormwater discharges from Internal Outfalls 103, 203, 403, and 503), stormwater, and previously regulated discharges from BASF on a continuous and flow-variable basis via Outfall 003; and stormwater on an intermittent and flow-variable basis via Outfall 004. The TCEQ received this application on May 28, 2019.

The facility is located at 2301 North Brazosport Boulevard, north of the City of Freeport, Brazoria County, Texas 77541. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application.

https://gisweb.tceq.texas.gov/LocationMapper/?marker=-95.38,28.986111&level=18

The effluent is discharged via Outfalls 001, 002, and 003 to the Dow Canal, thence to the Brazos River Tidal in Segment No. 1201 of the Brazos River Basin; and via Outfall 004 by one of two routes (based on water releases by pumps in the Flag Lake Drainage Canal) to either a) East Union Bayou, thence to the Intracoastal Waterway, thence to Old Brazos River Channel Tidal in Segment No. 1111 of the San Jacinto-Brazos Coastal Basin, or to b) Flag Lake Drainage Canal Tidal, thence to the Brazos River Tidal in Segment No. 1201 of the Brazos River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is intermediate aquatic life use for Flag Lake Drainage Canal. The designated uses for Segment No. 1201 are high aquatic life use, primary contact recreation, and public water supply. The public water supply use for Segment No. 1201 only applies from the upstream boundary to 300 meters (330 yards) downstream of State Highway 332 in Brazoria County, which does not include the locations of the permitted outfalls. The designated uses for Segment No. 1111 are high aquatic life use and primary contact recreation.

In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and TCEQ's Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the receiving waters was performed. A Tier 1 antidegradation review has preliminarily determined that existing water quality uses will not be impaired by this permit action. Numerical and narrative criteria to protect existing uses will be maintained. A Tier 2 review has preliminarily determined that no significant degradation of water quality is expected in the Flag Lake Drainage Canal, and the Brazos River Tidal, which have been identified as having intermediate and high aquatic life uses, respectively. Existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received.

The TCEQ executive director reviewed this action for consistency with the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) goals and policies in accordance with the regulations of the General Land Office and has determined that the action is consistent with the applicable CMP goals and policies.

The TCEQ executive director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The executive director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. A public meeting will be held and will consist of two parts, an Informal Discussion Period and a Formal Comment Period.

Notice and Opportunity to Comment on Requests for Consistency Agreement/Concurrence Under the Texas Coastal Management Program

On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439 - 1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of March 17, 2025 to April 4, 2025. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.20(f), 30.30(h), and 30.40(e), the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, April 11, 2025. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 11, 2025.

Federal Agency Activities:

Applicant: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Location: The Project's study area includes segments of the Cedar Bayou Navigation Channel and the Houston Ship Channel (HSC) within portions of the Tabbs Bay, Trinity Bay, and Galveston Bay (i.e., the Galveston Bay System) in Chambers and Harris Counties, Texas. The Study area also includes the Cedar Port terminal at Cedar Port Industrial Park in Baytown, Texas, and several dredged material management islands adjacent to the HSC.

Project Description: The Cedar Port Navigation Improvement District (CPNID), in coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), is evaluating the feasibility and Federal Interest of the Cedar Port Navigation and Improvement District Channel Deepening Project, Baytown, Texas (Project) under the authority found in Section 216 of the Flood Control Act of 1970, as amended. The Project would provide a deep-water connection between the HSC and a planned future deepwater terminal facility at Cedar Port Industrial Park while enhancing efficient, safe, and reliable navigation in the Cedar Bayou Navigation Channel and HSC. The CPNID is serving as the Non-Federal Interest (NFI) under the authority granted in Section 203 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, as amended, which authorizes NFIs to complete feasibility studies, and associated environmental compliance, on their own and to submit the completed study to the Secretary of the Army for recommendation to Congress.

After considering the available options, a new approximately 3.84 mile deep-draft channel connecting the HSC to the Cedar Port Industrial Park through Atkinson Island was determined to be the tentatively selected plan (TSP). In addition to constructing a deep-draft channel, the TSP would include using dredged material to build two beneficial use islands and shoreline protection. The two beneficial use islands would be built in stages with the first site built using dredged material and designed to support oyster and wetland habitat, and the second site built over time with maintenance dredged material. As part of this alternative, a new Dredge Material Placement Area would be constructed to support future USACE HSC projects, compensating for the 50-year Dredged Material Management Plan capacity lost due to dredging the TSP channel route.

Project Description: The Port of Corpus Christi Authority proposes to construct a 100-million-gallon per day upland seawater desalination facility, including a seawater intake structure, two outfall diffuser structures, two 14-foot-diameter pipes, one 60-inch-diameter pipe, freshwater product pipelines, and other supporting infrastructure. The intake structure and one outfall diffuser will be located approximately 1.3 and 1.8 miles southeast of San Jose Island, respectively, in the Gulf at depths of approximately -35 and -37 feet mean lower low water, respectively. Approximately 6.7 miles of 14-foot-diameter pipelines will be installed by subterranean tunnel boring machine. Muck soils removed during tunneling will be maintained onsite in uplands during construction and dewatered similarly to dredge material, with a dewatering outfall structure into Redfish Bay adjacent to Aransas Channel. Once sufficient dewatering has occurred the material will be used onsite as upland grading material. Marine life protection screens and a return channel are included to mitigate marine fauna impacts.

The finished water pipeline is proposed to include parallel pipes of 48 - 52" diameter installed by upland open trenching and micro tunneling and/or horizonal directional drilling below marine wetlands, open water, and sand/mud flats. The finished water pipeline will connect to an existing Aransas Pass, Texas, water distribution infrastructure. Additionally, Harbor Island has existing tie-in infrastructure to an active Nueces County Water Control and Improvement District 4 12-inch freshwater pipeline that leads to Port Aransas and Mustang Island, Texas. The applicant does not propose to compensate for temporary impacts to freshwater herbaceous and scrub/shrub wetlands.

2.0 Determination of Prize Winners. The determination of prize winners is subject to the general Scratch Ticket validation requirements set forth in Texas Lottery Rule 401.302, Scratch Ticket Game Rules, these Game Procedures, and the requirements set out on the back of each Scratch Ticket. A prize winner in the "CASH LINE BINGO" Scratch Ticket Game is determined once the latex on the Scratch Ticket is scratched off to expose 120 (one hundred twenty) Play Symbols. The player completely scratches the "CALLER'S CARD" area to reveal twenty (20) Bingo Numbers. The player scratches only those Bingo Numbers on the four (4) "BINGO CARDS" that match the "CALLER'S CARD" Bingo Numbers. The player also scratches the four (4) "FREE" spaces on the four (4) "BINGO CARDS". If a player matches all Bingo Numbers in a complete vertical, horizontal or diagonal line, the player wins the prize in the corresponding prize legend for that "BINGO CARD". RED LINE: If the player matches all the Bingo Numbers in a RED LINE, the player wins DOUBLE the Line prize for that "BINGO CARD". If the player matches all Bingo Numbers in all four (4) corners, the player wins the prize in the corresponding prize legend for that "BINGO CARD". If the player matches all Bingo Numbers to complete an "X", the player wins the prize in the corresponding prize legend for that "BINGO CARD". Notes: Winning pattern(s) may use one (1) or more "FREE" spaces. Only the highest prize per "BINGO CARD" will be paid.
