Case Title and Court: Texas Commission on Environmental Quality v. Union Pacific Railroad Company, et al. ; Cause No. D-1-GN-17-003918; in the 250th Judicial District, Travis County, Texas.

Background: The State filed the suit on behalf of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") on August 8, 2017, for a Superfund cost recovery action seeking to recover cleanup costs incurred at the Woodward Industries, Inc. Proposed State Superfund Site in Nacogdoches County, Texas ("Site"). Defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company, successor to the Texas & New Orleans Railroad Company, Southern Pacific Company, and Southern Pacific Transportation Company are former owners at this Site where East Texas Wood Treating Company, and subsequently Woodward Industries, conducted wood treatment operations. As a result of these operations, the soil at the Site became contaminated with pentachlorophenol. In 1982, Woodward Industries, Inc. discontinued wood treatment operations at the Site. The TCEQ conducted multiple remedial investigations of the Site between April 2009 and August 2010 and on July 11, 2011, the TCEQ began conducting removal and clean-up actions.

Proposed Settlement: The parties propose an Agreed Final Judgment against Union Pacific in the amount of One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000.00), inclusive of costs and fees.

For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the agreed judgment should be reviewed in its entirety. Requests for copies of the proposed judgment and settlement, and written comments on the same, should be directed to Katie Hobson, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General of Texas, P.O.

Correction of Error

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) proposed new 30 TAC §§101.700 - 101.718 in the May 16, 2025, issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 2925). Due to an error by the Texas Register, a link was omitted from the text of the preamble. The link was omitted from the third paragraph in the second column on page 50 TexReg 2938. The paragraph should have read as follows:

FCAA, §185 requires the annual fee to be adjusted by the consumer price index (CPI) and cross references the methodology in FCAA, §502(b)(3)(B)(3)(v). The method described in FCAA, §502 requires the fee to be adjusted annually per the CPI for all-urban consumers published by the United States Department of Labor, as of the close of the 12-month period ending on August 31 of each calendar year. FCAA, §185 requires these fees to be assessed on a calendar-year basis, and the inflation factor based on the CPI is applied in September for the fiscal year (based on the previous September through August data). Therefore, the calendar year Failure to Attain Fee is determined as a weighted monthly average (two thirds of the fee associated with January through August and one third of the fee associated with September through December). For example, a 2028 calendar-year fee would span the 2028 fiscal year and the 2029 fiscal year. Thus, a calendar-year 2028 fee requires two thirds of the annual CPI ending in August 2028 and one third of the annual CPI ending in August 2029. The commission proposes this methodology to calculate the fee from EPA's guidance memo (Page 10, available at ( https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2015-09/documents/1hour_ozone_nonattainment_guidance.pdf ). The proposed fee calculation uses the 40 CFR Part 70 Presumptive Minimum fee basis from EPA's guidance memo. The Part 70 fee rate is published annually by EPA and is available at ( https://www.epa.gov/title-v-operating-permits/permit-fees ). The Part 70 fee is the rate used to calculate emissions-based fees for Part 70 permit programs. Rather than calculating the rate directly from the CPI, the proposed method uses the Part 70 fee rate published by EPA. The Part 70 fee already has the required CPI adjustment incorporated into it.

Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Advisory Committee Request for Nominations

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is currently accepting nominations for seven members to the Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Advisory Committee (advisory committee) to serve four-year terms, beginning January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2029.

The following affiliation positions need to be filled on the committee: three industry representatives, two appraisal district representatives, one taxing unit representative, and one independent technical expert. Current advisory committee members whose terms are expiring may nominate themselves for reappointment and must be nominated to be considered for reappointment.

In 1993, Texas voters approved Proposition 2 (Prop 2), amending the Texas Constitution to authorize the Texas Legislature to exempt from ad valorem taxation "all or part of real and personal property used, constructed, acquired, or installed wholly or partly to meet or exceed rules or regulations adopted by an environmental protection agency of the United States, this state, or a political subdivision of this state for the prevention, monitoring, control, or reduction of air, water, or land pollution." The Texas Legislature implemented Prop 2 by enacting Texas Tax Code, §11.31. TCEQ adopted 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 17, implementing Texas Tax Code, §11.31 and establishing the procedures for obtaining a "positive use determination" under the Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Program. The goal of the program is to provide tax relief to individuals, companies, and political subdivisions that make capital investments to meet or exceed federal, state, or local environmental rules or regulations.

In 2009, Texas Tax Code, §11.31 was amended to require TCEQ to form a permanent advisory committee to make recommendations to TCEQ commissioners on matters relating to property tax exemptions for pollution control property. TCEQ commissioners appoint advisory committee members to serve four-year staggered terms.

The nomination form and instructions are provided on TCEQ's website at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/airquality/taxrelief/advisory_group.html . Completed nomination forms must be submitted to TCEQ by 5:00 p.m. CDT on July 8, 2025. Nominations received after that date will only be considered if there are insufficient qualified nominees. Individuals may nominate themselves or someone else to the advisory committee, but TCEQ asks that only interested persons be nominated.

Questions regarding the advisory committee nomination process should be directed by phone to Melissa Altman of the Tax Relief Program at (512) 239-1407 or by e-mail to txrelief@tceq.texas.gov .

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.

Instructions for accessing the hearing will be published on the department's website at: https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/get-involved/about/hearings-meetings.html .

The STIP reflects the federally funded transportation projects in the FY 2025 - 2028 Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) for each Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in the state. The STIP includes both state and federally funded projects for the nonattainment areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, Houston and San Antonio. The STIP also contains information on federally funded projects in rural areas that are not included in any MPO area, and other statewide programs as listed.

Title 23, United States Code, §134 and §135 require each designated MPO and the state, respectively, to develop a TIP and STIP as a condition to securing federal funds for transportation projects under Title 23 or the Federal Transit Act (49 USC §5301, et seq.). Section 134 requires an MPO to develop its TIP in cooperation with the state and affected public transit operators and to provide an opportunity for interested parties to participate in the development of the program. Section 135 requires the state to develop a STIP for all areas of the state in cooperation with the designated MPOs and, with respect to non-metropolitan areas, in consultation with affected local officials, and further requires an opportunity for participation by interested parties as well as approval by the Governor or the Governor's designee.

A copy of the proposed May 2025 Revision to the FY 2025 - 2028 STIP will be available for review, at the time the notice of hearing is published, on the department's website at: https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/transportation-planning/stips.html .
