Notice of District Petition

Notice issued May 23, 2024

TCEQ Internal Control No. D-04122021-017: Restore the Grasslands LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company ("RTG"), submitted a joinder petition to the revised petition filed by Harrington/Turner Enterprises L.P, a Texas Limited Partnership ("HTE"), for creation of Collin County Municipal Utility District No. 7 (District) with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The petitions were filed pursuant to Article XVI, §59 of the Constitution of the State of Texas; Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code; 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 293; and the procedural rules of the TCEQ. The petitions state that: (1) RTG is the holder of title to the Property as shown by the Collin County Tax Rolls and conveyances of Record in the proposed District; (2) there are no lienholders on the property to be included in the proposed District; (3) the proposed District will contain approximately 101.829 acres located within Collin County, Texas; and (4) all of the land within the proposed District is wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Parker, Texas. The petitions further state that the general nature of the work proposed to be done by the District, as contemplated at the present time, is to: (1) construct a water supply and distribution system for domestic purposes; (2) construct a sanitary sewer conveyance and treatment system; (3) control, abate, and amend the harmful excess of waters and the reclamation and drainage of overflowed lands within the proposed District; (4) construct and finance macadamized, graveled, or paved roads and turnpikes, or improvements in aid of those roads; and (5) construct, install, maintain, purchase, and operate such other facilities, systems, plants, and enterprises as shall be consistent with the purposes for which the District is organized, all to the extent authorized by law from time to time. According to the revised petition, a preliminary investigation has been made to determine the cost of the project, and it is estimated by the Petitioners, from the information available at this time, that the cost of said project will be approximately $44,210,000 ($27,560,000 for water, wastewater, and drainage facilities and $16,650,000 for roads). In accordance with Local Government Code §42.042 and Texas Water Code §54.016, HTE submitted a petition to the City, requesting the City's consent to the creation of the District. After more than 90 days passed without receiving consent, HTE submitted a petition to the City to provide water and sewer services to the District. The 120-day period for reaching a mutually agreeable contract as established by Texas Water Code §54.016(c) expired and information provided indicates that the Petitioners and the City have not executed a mutually agreeable contract for service. Pursuant to Texas Water Code §54.016(d), failure to execute such an agreement constitutes authorization for the Petitioners to initiate proceedings to include the land with the district.

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.

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. 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.

MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county.

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 May 20, 2024 to May 31, 2024. 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, June 7, 2024. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday July 7, 2024.

Federal Agency Activities:

Applicant: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Location: The project site is located along the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico within the Texas Point National Wildlife Refuge, approximately 1.35 miles southeast of the intersection of Texas 87 and Sea Rim Estates Road, in Sabine Pass, Jefferson County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude:

Begin Beach Fill Template: 29.683834, -93.937538

End Beach Fill Template: 29.679168, -93.841707

Project Description: The applicant is proposing beach and dune nourishment activities which will result in the permanent placement of a maximum of 4.2 million cubic yards (CY) of offshore sand material within a 5.8-mile-long by 700-foot-wide beach and dune nourishment template along the Gulf of Mexico frontage for the purpose of reducing saltwater intrusion into interior freshwater marshes in Texas Point National Wildlife Refuge and to slow shoreline retreat along the refuge coastline. The proposed project will result in permanent impacts to approximately 25 acres of wetlands and approximately 433 acres of waters and temporary impacts to approximately 5 acres of wetlands and approximately 23 acres of waters. The scope of work also includes the following: (1) construction of an approximate 500-foot by 250-foot western staging area next to Sea Rim Estates Road, (2) construction of an approximate 1.4-mile-long by 60-foot-wide western access corridor, (3) construction of an approximate 900-foot by 400-foot eastern access corridor and staging area, (4) two separate mooring area options on each side of Sabine Pass, each approximately 1,000-foot-long by 350-foot-wide, to allow the construction contractor flexibility, (5) potential construction of an approximate 0.3-mile-long by 150-foot-wide temporary pipeline corridor (if the eastern Sabine Pass mooring area is utilized) resulting in excavation of a maximum of 10,000 CY of channel bottom for the purpose of temporarily installing the transport pipe at least 2 feet below the authorized channel depth, (6) construction of an approximate 250-foot-long by 150-foot-wide temporary access channel along the western shoreline of Sabine Pass resulting in excavation of a maximum of 5,000 CY of channel bottom for the purpose of allowing shallow draft barges and construction boats access to the project site, and (7) excavation, at a conservative 1.3:1 cut to fill ratio, of a maximum of 4.2 million CY of sand material from two offshore borrow areas within the Sabine Banks; excavation methods will be trailing suction hopper dredges (hoppers) and/or hydraulic cutterhead dredges (cutterhead). Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore Borrow Area 1 is approximately 462 acres located at approximately 29.469441, -93.735081 and Offshore Borrow Area 2 is approximately 470 acres located at 29.471028, -93.710691.

Post-construction, the applicant is proposing to plant approximately 122,000 plants on the back dune, dune crest, and foredune. Plant species will consist of the following: Bitter panicum, Sea Oats, Marshhay Cordgrass, Beach morning glory, Sea purslane.

A lease for use of Federal sand resources from the OCS Offshore Borrow Areas 1 and 2 (see Project Description section above) is required from BOEM. If you have any questions concerning the lease application, you may contact Ana Rice at Ana.Rice@boem.gov. Please furnish BOEM a copy of all public notice comments. BOEM has sole regulatory authority over the use of OCS sand resources and conveyance on the OCS under the OCS Lands Act. The Corps requires a permit for all other aspects of the project, including dredging of any state water bottom areas, as well as conveyance and placement of sand resources. BOEM and the Corps are working collaboratively to ensure effective implementation of the required National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) process, the required Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 consultations, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery and Conservation Management Act Essential Fish Habitat consultation (Section 305), the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 process, and the Coastal Zone Management Act Section 307 consistency determination.

The applicant proposes to construct a jetty with an associated berthing area, a marine offloading facility (MOF) and a personnel transfer dock (PTD) with an associated berthing area, bulkheads to support the structures and a heavy haul road from the MOF to the main site.

The jetty is proposed to be constructed along the western perimeter adjacent to the Texas City Ship Channel Turning Basin, which will include an access trestle comprised of marine pile foundations, pipeline support structures, and a pile supported loading platform with marine loading arms. The jetty will also include breasting and mooring dolphins with various gangways and walkways. Berthing infrastructure will include four breasting dolphins and two mooring dolphins, with an additional four mooring bollards landward of a proposed shoreline bulkhead to accommodate the berthed vessels.

The applicant proposes to dredge approximately 15,983 cubic yards (CY) to approximately -26.32 ft MHW utilizing mechanical and/or hydraulic dredging for the jetty berthing area. The shoreline bank will be dredged on a 3 to 1 slope to facilitate a proposed shoreline bulkhead wall. Steel piles will be constructed for barge mooring. The PTD will be a floating dock with steel guide piles and an aluminum gangway to a concrete deck, pile supported platform and walkway to the shore.

Access to the site for both construction and operation will be exclusively from the water side. This will require the construction of a MOF for equipment and construction materials and PTD for personnel. Both will be constructed north of the proposed jetty. The MOF berthing area will be dredged to approximately -13.32 ft MHW with a 3 to 1 slope on the bank. A dredge volume of 6,177 CY will be required for the MOF/PTD berthing areas, utilizing mechanical and/or hydraulic dredge.

The applicant also proposes to discharge fill to construct bulkheads adjacent to both the jetty and the MOF/PTD area. The jetty bulkhead will be constructed from steel sheet pile with clean earthen fill placed behind it. A scour protection system, consisting of riprap and bedding stone with a geotextile underlayment is also proposed. This will require approximately 10,749 CY of fill below the high tide line (HTL).

The MOF bulkhead will consist of steel sheet pile bulkheads with compacted earthen fill, topped with compacted aggregate. This bulkhead will require approximately 6,546 CY of fill below the HTL.

A heavy haul road is also proposed to extend from the MOF to the main site, which will consist of compacted earthen fill with a compacted aggregate driving surface. Fill that will be required below HTL will equal approximately 102 CY.

The remaining land-based facilities will be constructed within the active Snake Island Cell C dredge material placement area (DMPA) on Shoal Point and are not proposed to impact waters of the US, wetlands, nor any special aquatic sites.

The applicant proposes to dispose of the dredge material into Shoal Point DMPA Cell C and/or Cell A.

The applicant is not proposing mitigation as the project scope avoids impacts to wetlands and special aquatic sites by design.

Public Notice - Massage Therapy Updated Criminal Conviction Guidelines

The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation (Commission) provides this public notice that at its regularly scheduled meeting held May 21, 2024, the Commission adopted amendments to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's (Department's) Criminal Conviction Guidelines pursuant to Texas Occupations Code §53.025(a). The Criminal Conviction Guidelines are updated from the original guidelines published on December 5, 2003, (28 TexReg 11018) to include the Massage Therapy program.

The Criminal Conviction Guidelines (guidelines) describe the process by which the Department determines whether a criminal conviction renders an applicant an unsuitable candidate for the license, or whether a conviction warrants revocation or suspension of a license previously granted. The guidelines present the general factors that are considered in all cases and the reasons why particular crimes are considered to relate to each type of license issued by the Department.

In 2015, the 84th Texas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 202 which provided for the transfer of thirteen health-related programs from the Department of State Health Services to TDLR. Seven of the thirteen programs transferred to TDLR, effective October 3, 2016, and the remaining six programs transferred November 1, 2017. The Massage Therapy program was transferred in the second phase.

The Criminal Conviction Guidelines for the Massage Therapy program will become a part of the overall guidelines that are already in place for other Department programs. The Department presented the Criminal Conviction Guidelines to the Commission on May 21, 2024, and wereadopted as recommended.

A copy of the complete Criminal Conviction Guidelines is posted on the Department's website and may be obtained at www.tdlr.texas.gov.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct the amount of a delinquent tax or other money from the winnings of a prize winner who has been finally determined to be:

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize under $600 from the "EASY...1-2-3" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

Any rights to a prize that is not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each Scratch Ticket, shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of Scratch Tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of Scratch Tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales and number of prizes claimed. A Scratch Ticket Game may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.

3.0 Scratch Ticket Ownership.

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.

B. The Texas Lottery shall not be responsible for lost or stolen Scratch Tickets and shall not be required to pay on a lost or stolen Scratch Ticket.

4.0 Number and Value of Scratch Prizes. There will be approximately 840,000 Scratch Tickets in Scratch Ticket Game No. 2576. The approximate number and value of prizes in the game are as follows:
