Deputy Director, Litigation
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Filed: December 3, 2024
APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. OP III ATX Georgetown 220, LP, 500 West 5th Street, Suite 700, Austin, Texas 78701, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016474001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 990,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on January 25, 2024.
The domestic wastewater treatment facility will be located approximately 0.95 miles northeast of the intersection of County Road 107 and County Road 110, in Williamson County, Texas 78626. The treated effluent will be discharged to an unnamed creek, thence to Huddleston Branch, thence to Mankins Branch, thence to San Gabriel/North Fork San Gabriel River in Segment No. 1248 of the Brazos River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are limited aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary of Huddleston Branch and the Huddleston Branch upstream of the confluence with an unnamed tributary located approximately 0.4 miles upstream of County Road 106 and high aquatic life use for the Huddleston Branch downstream of the confluence with an unnamed tributary located approximately 0.4 miles upstream of County Rd 106. The designated uses for Segment No. 1248 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, aquifer protection, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code Section 307.5 and the TCEQ's Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the receiving waters was performed.

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for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn.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. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.
C. As an alternative method of claiming a "INSTANT MILLIONS" Scratch Ticket Game prize, the claimant may submit the signed winning Scratch Ticket and a thoroughly completed claim form via mail.

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;
C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the Scratch Ticket presented for payment; or
D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending payment of the claim.
2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18.

When a signature is placed on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the Scratch Ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

Notice of Availability and Request for Public Comment
Notice of Availability and Request for Public Comment Within 30 Days.
Proposed Amended Draft Natural Resource Damage Assessment Plan; Mountain Creek Lake: Naval Air Station Dallas and Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, Dallas, Dallas County, Texas
AGENCIES: Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and Texas General Land Office (GLO) (collectively, the Trustees).
ACTION: Notice of availability of a proposed Amended Draft Natural Resource Damage Assessment Plan, Mountain Creek Lake: Naval Air Station Dallas and Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant (Draft Assessment Plan) and of a 30-day period for public comment on the Amended Draft Assessment Plan beginning on the date of publication of this notice.
SUMMARY: This notice serves to inform the public that the Trustees have developed an Amended Draft Assessment Plan to describe how the Trustees propose to determine and quantify natural resource injuries and damages to Mountain Creek Lake and the associated nearshore zone impacted by the release of oil or hazardous substances at or from Naval Air Station Dallas and the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant. Due to a regulatory change, the Trustees are amending the assessment plan to add two per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS),to the list of chemicals of concern and providing another opportunity for public comment due to the change.
This opportunity for public review and comment on the Amended Draft Assessment Plan is made pursuant to 43 CFR §11.32(c).
ADDRESSES: Interested members of the public may request a copy of the Draft Assessment Plan by contacting Kimberly Biba at the TPWD, Coastal Fisheries Division, 1502 FM 517 Road East, Dickinson, Texas 77539; by phone at (281) 534-0133; or by email at Kimberly.biba@tpwd.texas.gov.
DATES: Public comments on the Amended Draft Assessment Plan must be submitted in writing to Kimberly Biba at the same mailing or e-mail address within 30 days of the publication date of this notice. The Trustees will consider all written comments received during the comment period.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The natural resource damage assessment and restoration (NRDAR) is being conducted jointly by the Trustees pursuant to their respective authorities and responsibilities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. §§9601-9675) and other applicable federal and state laws. The Trustees were designated by the governor of Texas as trustees for natural resources pursuant to Section 107(f)(2)(B) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. §9607(f)(2)(B). Relevant regulations include Subpart G of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (40 CFR §§300.600-300.615) and U.S. Department of the Interior's (DOI's) NRDAR Regulations at 43 CFR Part 11 (DOI NRDAR Regulations), which provide guidance for the NRDAR process under CERCLA.
The U.S. Department of the Navy formerly owned and operated the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant and Naval Air Station Dallas, located along the northwest shore of Mountain Creek Lake in the City of Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.
Pursuant to 43 CFR Part 11, the Trustees completed a Preassessment Screen and Determination (PAS) in July 2000, which determined that sufficient information was available to proceed with a NRDAR. Specifically, the Trustees have determined that a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance occurred from Naval Air Station Dallas and the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant; natural resources for which the Trustees may assert trusteeship under CERCLA have been or are likely to have been adversely affected by the release; the quantity and concentration of the discharged oil or released hazardous substance is sufficient to potentially cause injury to natural resources; data sufficient to pursue an assessment are readily available or likely to be obtained at a reasonable cost; and response actions carried out or planned do not or will not sufficiently remedy injury to natural resources without further action.

On November 8, 2024, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) published a Notice of Proposed Waiver in the Texas Register. See Tex. Reg. Vo. 49, No. 45 Page 9075. That notice set forth TxDOT's intention to issue a waiver of the domestic iron and steel requirements for the pump station project, identified as CSJ 14-0914-04-362, related to the Interstate 35 improvement project due to the lack of domestically produced iron and steel pump components sufficient for the project. The notice provided a 15- day period for public comments on the proposed waiver. The comment period ended at 5 p.m. on Monday November 25th, 2024.
TxDOT did not receive any comments in response to the Notice of Proposed Waiver.
After substantial efforts to find domestically sourced pump components, including a market analysis conducted on behalf of TxDOT, Marc Williams, the Executive Director of TxDOT, found that neither those efforts nor public response to the notice of the proposed waiver identified domestically manufactured items capable of satisfying the project requirement and further found that the issuance of the waiver is essential to achieving the goal of providing a pump station that can effectively drain the Interstate 35 project for the safety of the traveling public and improve the water quality of the area by removing trash and sediment from discharged water.
In conformance with Texas Transportation Code, §223.045 and the application of a waiver process that is analogous to the process used for a waiver of preference provisions for iron and steel and iron and steel products that are required under federal law for an improvement made with federal aid, Marc Williams issued a waiver of the iron and steel domestic sourcing requirements for the pump station project, identified as CSJ 14-0914-04-362, effective December 13, 2024. A copy of the waiver is available upon request by emailing TxDOTGeneralCounsel@txdot.gov. with the subject line "Pump station waiver."
