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

The TCEQ Executive Director has determined that a minor amendment to the license is appropriate because it does not pose a detrimental impact and is in consideration of maintaining public health and safety, worker safety, and environmental health. The license will be amended to incorporate the updated Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Order (Docket No. 70-7005) to relocate the transuranic waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) from the Federal Waste Facility to the Bin Storage Area 1 (BSA-1) and prepare the LANL waste in an enclosure at BSA-1 to make it transport ready, increase the financial assurance of the disposal facility to cover the Phase 2a expansion of the Compact Waste Facility (CWF), revise procedure EV-1.0.0, Consolidated Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, to account for changes in monitoring wells due to necessary relocations from the CWF Phase 2a expansion, authorize higher activity waste (beyond the currently authorized license condition (LC) 192 exempt waste) for processing using GeoMelt In Container Vitrification (ICV), and revise procedure RS-5.0.0, Radiological Waste Process for the RCRA Landfill, to change the values in table 1, "Controlling Concentrations", used for determining if waste is eligible for the LC 192 exemption. The license will not be amended to extend the time that the Licensee can store transuranic waste that originated at LANL to December 31, 2024. The license application, the Executive Director's technical summary, and the amended draft license are available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ's central office in Austin, Texas and at the Andrews Public Library, 109 NW 1st Street, Andrews, Texas, 79714.

The commission staff proposes a DO when the staff has sent the Executive Director's Preliminary Report and Petition (EDPRP) to an entity outlining the alleged violations; the proposed penalty; the proposed technical requirements necessary to bring the entity back into compliance; and the entity fails to request a hearing on the matter within 20 days of its receipt of the EDPRP or requests a hearing and fails to participate at the hearing. Similar to the procedure followed with respect to Agreed Orders entered into by the executive director of the commission, in accordance with Texas Water Code (TWC), §7.075, this notice of the proposed order and the opportunity to comment is published in the Texas Register no later than the 30th day before the date on which the public comment period closes, which in this case is January 5, 2024. The commission will consider any written comments received, and the commission may withdraw or withhold approval of a DO if a comment discloses facts or considerations that indicate that consent to the proposed DO is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the statutes and rules within the commission's jurisdiction, or the commission's orders and permits issued in accordance with the commission's regulatory authority. Additional notice of changes to a proposed DO is not required to be published if those changes are made in response to written comments.

A copy of the proposed DO is available for public inspection at both the commission's central office, located at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building A, 3rd Floor, Austin, Texas 78753, (512) 239‑3400 and at the applicable regional office listed as follows.

Notice of Public Meeting for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016281001

APPLICATION. Gram Vikas Partners, Inc., 214 West Bandera Road #114-474, Boerne, Texas 78006, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016281001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 300,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on January 10, 2023.

The facility will be located approximately 0.2 miles west of the intersection of County Road 341 and County Road 442, in Medina County, Texas 78861.

The treated effluent will be discharged directly to Hondo Creek in Segment No. 2114 of the Nueces River Basin. The designated uses for Segment No. 2114 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 TCEQ 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 Hondo Creek, which has been identified as having high aquatic life uses. 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 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.
