Notice of a Proposed Amendment without Renewal of General Permit TXR050000 Authorizing the Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activities

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is proposing to amend without renewal Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit TXR050000. This general permit authorizes the discharges of stormwater associated with industrial activity and certain non-stormwater discharges into surface water in the state. This general permit applies to the entire state of Texas. General permits are authorized by Texas Water Code §26.040.

PROPOSED GENERAL PERMIT. The executive director has prepared a draft general permit amendment of an existing general permit that authorizes the discharges of stormwater and certain non-stormwater discharges from industrial activities into surface water in the state. The amendment would prohibit quarries located in the new Coke Stevenson Scenic Riverway from obtaining stormwater coverage under the general permit, in accordance with House Bill (HB) 1688 from the 88th Regular Legislative Session. The amendment would also implement HB 2771 from the 86th Regular Legislative Session by expanding permit applicability to include non-exempt stormwater discharges into surface water in the state from oil and gas activities associated with oil and gas exploration, production, processing, or treatment, or transmission facilities.

The general permit specifies which facilities must obtain permit coverage, which are eligible for a conditional exclusion based on a certification of no-exposure of the industrial activity to stormwater, which are designated as eligible for coverage without submitting a Notice of Intent, and which must obtain individual permit coverage. Non-stormwater discharges that are not specifically listed in the general permit are not authorized by the general permit. No significant degradation of high-quality waters is expected and existing uses will be maintained and protected.

The executive director has reviewed this action for consistency with the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) according to General Land Office regulations and has determined that the action is consistent with applicable CMP goals and policies.

On the date that this notice is published, a copy of the draft general permit and fact sheet will be available for a minimum of 30 days for viewing and copying at the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk located at the TCEQ Austin office, at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building F. These documents will also be available at the TCEQ's 16 regional offices and on the TCEQ website at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/stormwater/industrial.

PUBLIC COMMENT AND PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments on this proposed general permit in writing or request a public meeting about this proposed general permit. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit written or oral comments or to ask questions about the proposed general permit. Generally, the TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the proposed general permit or if requested by a state legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

Notice of Public Meeting for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016464001

APPLICATION. I-30 Greenville Utility Services LLC, 1401 Industrial Road, Mount Pleasant, Texas 75455, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016464001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 240,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on January 11, 2024.

The facility will be located approximately 1,000 feet northeast of the intersection of Farm-to- Market Road 499 and I-30 Frontage Road, in Hunt County, Texas 75401. The treated effluent will be discharged to an unnamed tributary, thence to Wolf Creek, thence to Cowleech Fork Sabine River, thence to Lake Tawakoni in Segment No. 0507 of the Sabine River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are minimal aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary and limited aquatic life use for Wolf Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 0507 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, 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. 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. This review has preliminarily determined that no water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses are present within the stream reach assessed; therefore, no Tier 2 degradation determination is required. No significant degradation of water quality is expected in water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses downstream, and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received. 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.

Adopted Fiscal Year 2024 Research Agenda

Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group

Introduction

The commissioner of workers' compensation considers the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Research Agenda for the Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group (REG) at the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC).

Texas Labor Code §405.0025 requires the REG to conduct professional studies and research related to how effectively the workers' compensation system operates. Section 405.0026 requires the REG to annually publish a workers' compensation research agenda listing the topics the REG will study for that year.

DWC published the proposed research agenda in the August 16, 2024, issue of the Texas Register (49 TexReg 6316) and sought public review and comment. DWC received one comment and no requests for a public hearing.

Order

It is ordered that the FY 2025 Research Agenda for the Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group is adopted as follows:

1. A study to evaluate the feasibility and impact of adopting a more current version of the American Medical Association Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. The REG will complete the project with the assistance of the Medical Quality Review Panel. This study is contingent on the American Medical Association's publication of the 2024 revisions to the musculoskeletal chapters 15-17.

2. An update of medical costs and utilization in the Texas workers' compensation system.

3. An analysis of designated doctors and scheduling companies in the Texas workers' compensation system by evaluating the performance of designated doctors and scheduling companies using metrics such as rescheduled exams, timeliness of reports, and timeliness of payments.

The REG will consider expanding the scope of the research projects or conducting more projects to accommodate stakeholder suggestions, subject to the resources and data available.

2.3 Procedure for Claiming Prizes.

A. To claim a "JOKER'S WILD" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, $100 or $500, a claimant shall sign the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated on the Scratch Ticket and may present the winning Scratch Ticket to any Texas Lottery Retailer. The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, if appropriate, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the Scratch Ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not required, to pay a $50.00, $100 or $500 Scratch Ticket Game. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and Section 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. To claim a "JOKER'S WILD" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $1,000 or $100,000, the claimant must sign the winning Scratch Ticket and may present it at one of the Texas Lottery's Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will be made to the bearer of the validated winning Scratch Ticket for that prize upon presentation of proper identification. 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 "JOKER'S WILD" Scratch Ticket Game prize the claimant may submit the signed winning Scratch Ticket and a thoroughly completed claim form via mail. If a prize value is $1,000,000 or more, the claimant must also provide proof of Social Security number or Tax Payer Identification (for U.S. Citizens or Resident Aliens). Mail all to: Texas Lottery Commission, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The Texas Lottery is not responsible for Scratch Tickets lost in the mail. 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.

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:

1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money to a state agency and that delinquency is reported to the Comptroller under Government Code §403.055;

2. in default on a loan made under Chapter 52, Education Code;

3. in default on a loan guaranteed under Chapter 57, Education Code; or

4. delinquent in child support payments in the amount determined by a court or a Title IV-D agency under Chapter 231, Family Code.

E. If a person is indebted or owes delinquent taxes to the State, other than those specified in the preceding paragraph, the winnings of a person shall be withheld until the debt or taxes are paid.

2.4 Allowance for Delay of Payment. The Texas Lottery may delay payment of the prize pending a final determination by the Executive Director, under any of the following circumstances:

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

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. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize under $600 from the "JOKER'S WILD" 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.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of $600 or more from the "JOKER'S WILD" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Scratch Ticket Claim Period. All Scratch Ticket prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Scratch Ticket Game or within the applicable time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas Government Code §466.408. 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.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of a Scratch Ticket in the space designated, a Scratch Ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said Scratch Ticket. 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 7,200,000 Scratch Tickets in Scratch Ticket Game No. 2615. The approximate number and value of prizes in the game are as follows:

5.0 End of the Scratch Ticket Game. The Executive Director may, at any time, announce a closing date (end date) for the Scratch Ticket Game No. 2615 without advance notice, at which point no further Scratch Tickets in that game may be sold. The determination of the closing date and reasons for closing will be made in accordance with the Scratch Ticket closing procedures and the Scratch Ticket Game Rules. See 16 TAC §401.302(j).

6.0 Governing Law. In purchasing a Scratch Ticket, the player agrees to comply with, and abide by, these Game Procedures for Scratch Ticket Game No. 2615, the State Lottery Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 466), applicable rules adopted by the Texas Lottery pursuant to the State Lottery Act and referenced in 16 TAC, Chapter 401, and all final decisions of the Executive Director.
