Amended (To Change Date of the Public Meeting) Notice of Public Meeting for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater Renewal Permit No. WQ0015000001

APPLICATION. City of Liberty Hill, 926 Loop 332, Liberty Hill, Texas 78642, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal with minor amendment of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0015000001, which authorizes an additional Interim flow phase (0.70 MGD) and the removal of two currently authorized Interim flow phases (0.10 MGD and 0.35 MGD). The existing permit authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at an annual average flow not to exceed 1.4 MGD. TCEQ received this application on March 23, 2023.

The facility will be located approximately 2.5 miles north of the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and State Highway 29, in Williamson County, Texas 78628. The treated effluent will be discharged to an unnamed tributary, thence to Sowes Branch, thence to North Fork San Gabriel River in Segment No. 1251 of the Brazos River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are minimal aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary, and limited aquatic life use for Sowes Branch. The designated uses for Segment No. 1251 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, aquifer protection, and high aquatic life use. 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 Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements.

By Resolution No. R-2024-23, passed and approved on February 27, 2024, and effective September 26, 2023, the City of Bastrop accepted the Petition for Release from the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction filed by the Petitioners for the land included in the proposed District and such land was released by operation of law on November 13, 2023. The proposed District is now located outside the corporate limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction of any city, town, or village. Therefore, city consent is not required. The petition further states that the proposed District will: (1) provide a water supply for municipal uses, domestic uses and commercial purposes; (2) collect, transport, process, dispose of and control all domestic, industrial or communal wastes whether in fluid, solid, or composite state; (3) gather, conduct, divert and control local storm water or other local harmful excess of water in the District and the payment of organization expenses, operational expenses during construction and interest during construction; (4) design, acquire, construct, finance, improve, operate and maintain macadamized graveled, or paved roads, or improvements in aid of those roads; (5) purchase, construct, acquire, provide, operate, maintain, repair, improve, extend and develop park and recreational facilities for the inhabitants of the District; and (6) provide such other facilities, systems, plants and enterprises as shall be consonant with the purposes for which the District is created and permitted under state law. According to the petition, a preliminary investigation has been made to determine the cost of the project, and it is estimated by the Petitioners that the cost of said project will be approximately $99,650,000 ($72,000,000 for water, sewer, and drainage facilities; $500,000 for park and recreation facilities; and $27,150,000 for roads).

Notice of Request for Public Comment and Notice of a Public Meeting on Proposed Non-Rule Air Quality Standard Permit for Temporary Public Works Projects

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is providing an opportunity for public comment and will conduct a public meeting to receive testimony regarding a new non-rule Air Quality Standard Permit for Temporary Public Works Projects proposed for issuance under the Texas Clean Air Act, Texas Health and Safety Code (THSC), §382.05195, Standard Permit; THSC, §382.051985, Standard Permit for Certain Temporary Concrete Plants for Public Works; 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 116, Subchapter F, Standard Permits; and Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001, Subchapter B.

Senate Bill (SB) 1397, 88th Session, amended Chapter 382 of the THSC to require TCEQ to issue a standard permit for temporary concrete plants that perform wet batching, dry batching, or central mixing to support public works projects. THSC, §382.051985 requires that a plant operating under the new standard permit must be located in or contiguous to the right-of-way of the public works project; may occupy a designated site for not more than 180 consecutive days or to supply material for a single project; and may not support a project which is not related to the public works project. The proposed standard permit contains conditions to ensure that facilities authorized by the standard permit meet the criteria of THSC, §382.051985, and includes emission control requirements, best management practices, and recordkeeping requirements to ensure the new standard permit is protective of human health and the environment and is enforceable.

The proposed non-rule air quality standard permit is subject to a 30-day comment period. During the comment period, any person may submit written comments. After the comment period, TCEQ may revise the draft standard permit if appropriate. The final standard permit will then be considered by the commission for adoption. Upon adoption of the standard permit by the commission, the final standard permit and a response to all comments received will be made available on TCEQ's website.

The commission will hold a hybrid virtual and in-person public meeting on this proposal in Austin on Friday, December 6, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. in Building A, Room 173, at the TCEQ's central office located at 12100 Park 35 Circle.

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, October 14, 2024 to October 18, 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, October 25, 2024. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 24, 2024.

Federal Agency Activities:

Applicant: Department of Energy

Location: The surveys are proposed to occur within Texas state waters, within 9 n.mi. from shore; however, the primary study area is no closer to shore than the 10-m isobath or ~1.3 km (closest point of approach is Port Aransas). If no suitable sites (i.e., lease areas) are available within Texas state waters, the surveys would occur on the outer continental shelf but within the 30-m isobath or between 13.3 and up to 115 km from shore (alterative study area). The actual surveys (or survey area) would occur in a limited area (~50 km2) anywhere within the proposed study area, although a site within the primary study area is preferred. All activities would occur within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, between ~27.1-29.6°N and ~93.6-97.4°W. The water depth at the site could be as shallow as 10 m and no deeper than 30 m.

Project Description: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory prepared this Draft Environmental Assessment to analyze the potential environmental, cultural, and social impacts of partially funding the University of Texas at Austin (UT) to conduct high-resolution 3-dimensional marine seismic surveys in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) as part of the GoMCarb initiative. The surveys would be used to study the geologic environments beneath the GoM for secure, long-term, large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) storage. DOE's proposed action is to provide funding to UT for this research. The proposed seismic surveys would be conducted from a research vessel on the shallow shelf (<30 meters deep) off Texas. The surveys would use up to 2 Generator-Injector (GI) airguns, with a total discharge volume of ~210 in3. The proposed surveys would take place sometime during January-April 2025 for a period of approximately 23 days, including 20 days of airgun operations.
