Texas Health and Safety Code and Texas Water Code Settlement Notice

The State of Texas gives notice of the following proposed resolution of an environmental enforcement action under the Texas Water Code and the Texas Health and Safety Code. Before the State may enter into a voluntary settlement agreement, pursuant to Section 7.110 of the Texas Water Code, the State shall permit the public to comment in writing. The Attorney General will consider any written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations indicating that consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the law.

Case Title and Court: State of Texas v. Craft-Turney Water Supply Corporation and Arrington Lumber and Pallet Company, Inc.; Cause No. D-1-GN-22-000041; in the 419th Judicial District, Travis County, Texas.

Background: Craft-Turney Water Supply Corporation (CTWS) owns and operates a public water system in Jacksonville, Cherokee County, Texas, which serves approximately 1,736 connections and consists of four separate plants. The claims against CTWS in this lawsuit are for violations of statutes and TCEQ rules enacted to protect public health by ensuring safe drinking water. The State initiated the suit on behalf of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to address the protection of public drinking water and enforcement of the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act. CTWS owns and operates a public water system that was contaminated through an interconnection with an industrial business owned and maintained by Arrington Lumber and Pallet Company, Inc. (Arrington). Arrington stored, processed, or disposed of solid waste in violation of the TSWDA.

Proposed Settlement: This Proposed Agreed Final Judgment (AFJ) applies only to CTWS and its violations of statutes and TCEQ rules enacted to protect public health by ensuring safe drinking water at its public water system in Jacksonville, Texas. The State will proceed with claims against Arrington for its separate violations. The proposed AFJ would settle the claims against CTWS for $24,500.00 in civil penalties and $5,500.00 in attorney's fees, plus post-judgment interest. The AFJ also documents extensive corrective actions Craft-Turney has undertaken to prevent recurrence of similar violations.

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. Box 12548, MC 066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548; (512) 463-2012; facsimile (512) 320-0911; email Katie.Hobson@oag.texas.gov.

Eligible Applicants. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is requesting applications under request for applications (RFA) #701-25-101 from eligible entities to operate open-enrollment charter schools. Eligible entities include public institutions of higher education, private or independent institutions of higher education, organizations exempt from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 United States Code, §501(c)(3)), or governmental entities. At least one member of the applicant team must attend one required applicant information session webinar. In addition, the board president of the sponsoring entity, if identified, must attend. Two webinars will be held, one on Thursday, September 19, 2024, and one on Thursday, September 26, 2024. The public may participate in the webinars by registering in advance at https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ElCV0OzZSqmFQUwyuvHggQ.

Registrants will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. The webinar will also be recorded and made available publicly; however, failure to attend at least one of the mandatory webinars in its entirety will disqualify an applicant from further consideration during the Generation 30 application cycle.

Description. The purpose of an open-enrollment charter is to provide an alternative avenue for restructuring schools. An open-enrollment charter school offers flexibility and choice for educators, parents, and students. An approved open-enrollment charter school may be located in a facility of a commercial or nonprofit entity or in a school district facility. If the open-enrollment charter school is to be located in a school district facility, it must be operated under the terms established by the board of trustees or governing body of the school district in an agreement between the charter school and the district.

An open-enrollment charter school will provide instruction to students at one or more elementary or secondary grade levels as provided by the charter. An open-enrollment charter school must be nonsectarian in its programs, admissions, policies, employment practices, and all other operations and may not be affiliated with a sectarian school or religious institution. It is governed under the specifications of the charter and retains authority to operate for the term of the charter contingent on satisfactory student performance as defined by the state accountability system. An open-enrollment charter school does not have the authority to impose taxes.

An open-enrollment charter school is subject to federal laws and certain state laws governing public schools, including laws and rules relating to a criminal offense, requirements relating to the Texas Student Data System, Public Education Information Management System, criminal history records, high school graduation, special education programs, bilingual education, prekindergarten programs, extracurricular activities, health and safety provisions, and public school accountability. As stated in Texas Education Code (TEC), §12.1056, in matters related to operation of an open-enrollment charter school, an open-enrollment charter school or charter holder is immune from liability and suit to the same extent as a school district, and the employees and volunteers of the open-enrollment charter school or charter holder are immune from liability and suit to the same extent as school district employees and volunteers. A member of the governing body of an open-enrollment charter school or of a charter holder is immune from liability and suit to the same extent as a school district trustee. TEC, §12.1057, states that an employee of an open-enrollment charter school who qualifies for membership in the Teacher Retirement System of Texas shall be covered under the system to the same extent a qualified employee of a school district is covered.

Dates of Project. An electronic version of the completed application must be submitted to TEA by 5:00 p.m. (Central Time), Friday, December 20, 2024, to be eligible for review.

Project Amount. TEC, §12.106, specifies the following.

(a) A charter holder is entitled to receive the open-enrollment charter school funding under TEC, Chapter 48, equal to the amount of funding per student in weighted average daily attendance, excluding the adjustment under TEC, §48.052, the funding under TEC, §§48.101, 48.110, 48.111, and 48.112, and enrichment funding under TEC, §48.202(a), to which the charter holder would be entitled for the school under TEC, Chapter 48, if the school were a school district without a tier one local share for purposes of TEC, §48.266.

(a-1) In determining funding for an open-enrollment charter school under subsection (a), the amount of the allotment under TEC, §48.102, is based solely on the basic allotment to which the charter holder is entitled and does not include any amount based on the allotment under TEC, §48.101.

(a-2) In addition to the funding provided by subsection (a), a charter holder is entitled to receive for the open-enrollment charter school an allotment per student in average daily attendance in an amount equal to the difference between the product of the quotient of the total amount of funding provided to eligible school districts under TEC, §48.101(b) or (c); and the total number of students in average daily attendance in school districts that receive an allotment under TEC, §48.101(b) or (c); and the sum of one and the quotient of the total number of students in average daily attendance in school districts that receive an allotment under TEC, §48.101(b) or (c); and the total number of students in average daily attendance in school districts statewide; and $125.

(a-3) In addition to the funding provided by subsections (a) and (a-2), a charter holder is entitled to receive for the open-enrollment charter school enrichment funding under TEC, §48.202, based on the state average tax effort.

(a-4) In addition to the funding provided by subsections (a), (a-2), and (a-3), a charter holder is entitled to receive funding for the open-enrollment charter school under TEC, §48.110 and §48.112, and TEC, Chapter 48, Subchapter D, if the charter holder would be entitled to the funding if the school were a school district. In addition, under TEC §48.109(a) a charter school is entitled to an annual allotment equal to the basic allotment multiplied by 0.07 for each school year or a greater amount provided by appropriation for each identified student in a program for gifted and talented students that the charter school certifies to the commissioner as complying with Subchapter D, Chapter 29. TEC, §12.106(b), states that an open-enrollment charter school is entitled to funds that are available to school districts from TEA or the commissioner of education in the form of grants or other discretionary funding unless the statute authorizing the funding explicitly provides that open-enrollment charter schools are not entitled to the funding. In addition, TEC, Chapter 12, states that an open-enrollment charter school may not charge tuition and must admit students based on a lottery if more students apply for admission than can be accommodated. An open-enrollment charter school must prohibit discrimination in admission policy on the basis of sex; national origin; ethnicity; religion; disability; academic, artistic, or athletic ability; or the district the child would otherwise attend. However, a charter school that specializes in the performing arts may require an applicant to audition. The charter may provide for the exclusion of a student who has a documented history of a criminal offense, juvenile court adjudication, or a discipline problem under TEC, Chapter 37, Subchapter A.

Selection Criteria. A complete description of selection criteria is included in the RFA.

The commissioner may approve open-enrollment charter schools as provided in TEC, §12.101. There is a cap of 305 charters approved under TEC, §12.101. The commissioner is scheduled to consider awards under RFA #701-25-101 in May 2025.

The commissioner may approve applicants to ensure representation of urban, suburban, and rural communities; various instructional settings; innovative programs; diverse student populations and geographic regions; and various eligible entities. The commissioner will consider Statements of Impact from any school district whose enrollment is likely to be affected by the open-enrollment charter school. The commissioner may also consider the history of the sponsoring entity and the credentials and background of its board members. The commissioner may not award a charter to an entity that has within the preceding 10 years had a charter revoked, non-renewed, or surrendered. The commissioner will not consider an application submitted by an individual that is substantially related to an entity that has within the preceding 10 years had a charter revoked, non-renewed, or surrendered.

Requesting the Application. An application must be submitted under commissioner guidelines to be considered. A complete copy of the publication Generation Thirty Open-Enrollment Charter Application (RFA #701-25-101), which includes an application and guidance, may be obtained on the TEA website at http://tea.texas.gov/Texas_Schools/Charter_Schools/.

Combined Notice of Public Meeting and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater Permit No. WQ0016216001

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Buffalo Hills Development, LLC, 5940 South West McGee Creek Road, Lane, Oklahoma 74555, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016216001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 850,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on September 6, 2022.

The facility will be located approximately 0.4 miles north of the intersection of County Road 213 and Farm-to-Market Road 2258, in Ellis and Johnson Counties County, Texas 76084. The treated effluent will be discharged to an unnamed tributary, thence to Boggy Branch, thence to Armstrong Creek, thence to Cottonwood Creek, thence to North Fork Chambers Creek, thence to Chambers Creek Above Richland-Chambers Reservoir in Segment No. 0814 of the Trinity River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are minimal aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary and limited aquatic life use for both the Boggy Branch and Armstrong Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 0814 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and TCEQ's Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010) for the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards, 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.

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."

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.

Correction of Error

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) published a Notice of a Proposed Renewal with Amendment of General Permit TXG 500000 for Quarries in Certain Water Quality Protection Areas in the August 9, 2024, issue of the Texas Register (49 TexReg 6047).

Due to an error by TCEQ, a provision of the general permit included in the "Draft General Permit" paragraph was cited incorrectly. The provision incorrectly included a comma between the words "construction" and "stormwater". The paragraph should read as follows:

DRAFT GENERAL PERMIT. The executive director has prepared a draft general permit renewal with amendments of an existing general permit that authorizes the discharge of process wastewater, mine dewatering, stormwater associated with industrial activity, construction stormwater, and certain non-stormwater discharges from quarries located greater than one mile from a water body within certain water quality protection areas. No significant degradation of high-quality waters is expected and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The executive director proposes to require regulated entities to submit a Notice of Intent to obtain authorization under the general permit.

Notice of Intent to Perform a Removal Action at the Poly-Cycle Industries, Inc. Proposed State Superfund Site, in Tecula, Cherokee County, Texas

The executive director of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) hereby issues public notice of intent to perform a removal action, in accordance with Texas Health and Safety Code (THSC), §361.133(i), for the Poly-Cycle Industries, Inc., Tecula proposed state Superfund site (the site).

The site, including all land, structures, appurtenances, and other improvements, is approximately 35 acres, located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 2064 (FM 2064) and County Road 4216 (CR 4216) in Cherokee County, Texas. The site also includes any areas where hazardous substances have come to be located as either a direct or indirect result of releases of hazardous substances from the site.

The site was proposed for listing to the state Superfund registry in the July 25, 2003, issue of the Texas Register (28 TexReg 5910).

The site is a former lead-acid battery recycling facility that operated from at least 1982 to March 1990. The former process area included tanks, settling ponds, and waste piles of liquid and solid wastes from industrial processes. Improper waste management practices resulted in the release of arsenic and lead into the environment. Arsenic and lead are hazardous substances listed in 40 Code of Federal Regulations §302.4(a) and, therefore, are hazardous substances under the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act (THSC, Chapter 361). An EPA Time Critical Removal Action in 1991 placed the most highly contaminated soil and debris into 2,200 1.7-cubic yard polypropylene bags (supersacks) which were stored onsite in two metal storage buildings. The supersacks are degrading and may release contaminated soil and debris to the environment.

The removal action will consist of measures to mitigate the potential threat of a release of hazardous substances to the environment. The materials stored in supersacks will be removed from the buildings and transported for offsite disposal. The removal action is appropriate to protect human health and the environment, can be completed without extensive investigation and planning, and will achieve a significant cost reduction for the site.

The agency has established a site record repository at the Jacksonville Public Library, located at 526 E. Commerce Street, Jacksonville, Texas, 75766, (903) 586-7664. Requests to obtain copies of TCEQ's public records concerning the site may be submitted to the Central File Room through e-mail, at cfrreq@tceq.texas.gov. TCEQ Central File Room electronic records are also accessible online, at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/agency/data/records-services. Additional files may be obtained by contacting the TCEQ project manager for the site, Midori Campbell, P.E., at (512) 239-2077. Also, for additional assistance obtaining site documents, you may contact John Flores, community relations liaison, at (800) 633-9363 or email your request to superfnd@tceq.texas.gov.

The effluent is discharged from the plant site to a drainage ditch, thence to a detention pond, thence to a drainage ditch, thence to an unnamed tributary, thence to the Upper San Antonio River in Segment No. 1911 of the San Antonio River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are minimal aquatic life use for the drainage ditch and unnamed tributary. The designated uses for Segment No. 1911 are primary contact recreation and high aquatic life use.

In accordance with Title 30 Texas Administrative Code Section 307.5 and 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 intermediate, high, or exceptional aquatic life use 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 intermediate, high, or exceptional 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.
