Notice of Public Meeting Amendment Permit No. WQ0010549002

APPLICATION. City of Blanco, P.O. Box 750, Blanco, Texas 78606, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a major amendment to Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0010549002 to authorize decommissioning the existing lagoon treatment facilities, construction of Bullseye tank and new sludge drying beds, and reconfiguration of man-made effluent holding/storage ponds; and to relocate Outfall 001. The existing permit authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 225,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on April 18, 2023.

The facility is located at 289 Waters Edge Road, in the City of Blanco, Blanco County, Texas 78606. The interim discharge route for the treated effluent is to on-site man-made ponds, thence via an overflow pipe to an unnamed ditch, thence to the Upper Blanco River in Segment No. 1813 of the Guadalupe River Basin. Following completion of a pipeline to convey treated effluent, the proposed discharge route is to on-site man-made ponds, thence via pipe to the Upper Blanco River in Segment No. 1813 of the Guadalupe River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is minimal aquatic life use for the on-site man-made ponds, and the unnamed ditch. The designated uses for Segment No. 1813 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, aquifer protection, and exceptional aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and the TCEQ 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. A Tier 2 review has preliminarily determined that no significant degradation of water quality is expected in the Upper Blanco River which has been identified as having exceptional aquatic life use. 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.

https://gisweb.tceq.texas.gov/LocationMapper/?marker=-98.41,30.103055&level=18

The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. A public meeting will be held and will consist of two parts, an Informal Discussion Period and a Formal Comment Period. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing under the Administrative Procedure Act. During the Informal Discussion Period, the public will be encouraged to ask questions of the applicant and TCEQ staff concerning the permit application. The comments and questions submitted orally during the Informal Discussion Period will not be considered before a decision is reached on the permit application and no formal response will be made. Responses will be provided orally during the Informal Discussion Period. 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. Only relevant and material issues raised during the Formal Comment Period can be considered if a contested case hearing is granted on this permit application.

Notice and Opportunity to Comment on the Coastal Management Program Section 309 Assessment and Strategies Draft Report

The Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) is seeking public comments on its 2026-2030 Section 309 Program Assessment and Multi Year (Funding) Strategy.

Section 309 of the Coastal Zone Management Act establishes a voluntary grants program to encourage states with federally approved coastal management programs, to conduct a self-assessment to identify, develop and implement strategies to strengthen and enhance their programs in nine areas. These enhancement areas include: 1) wetlands, 2) coastal hazards, 3) public access, 4) marine debris, 5) cumulative and secondary impacts, 6) special area management plans, 7) ocean resources, 8) energy and government facility siting, and 9) aquaculture.

As a condition of receiving 309 CMP grant funding, the CMP must submit a Section 309 Assessment and Strategies Report to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management (NOAA-OCM) every five years. Development of the report follows the process outlined in NOAA's guidance document, Coastal Zone Management Act, Section 309 Program Guidance, 2026 to 2030 Enhancement Cycle. The report provides an assessment of the CMP in the nine enhancement areas, identifies program priorities, and proposes strategies that lead to tangible program enhancements for the identified high priority areas over the subsequent five years.

The 309 Assessment and Strategies process provides an opportunity for the CMP, with input from key stakeholders and the public, to determine where strategic opportunities exist for enhancing the CMP in identified high priority enhancement areas. CMP staff will work with partners to fully develop and implement the strategies over the next five years. NOAA-OCM funding is made available to the CMP each year to implement these strategies. Final strategy tasks are subject to change and depend upon the availability of funding.

To review and comment on the draft Section 309 Assessment and Strategies Report, please go to https://s3.glo.texas.gov/glo/the-glo/public-information/notices/notices/notice-and-opportunity-to-comment-on-the-coastal-management-program-section-309-assessment-and-strategies-draft-report.html.

Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board

Request for Proposals for the Fiscal Year 2026 Clean Water Act §319(H) Nonpoint Source Grant Program

PROPOSALS DUE: September 19, 2025

INTRODUCTION

This request for proposals (RFP) provides instructions and guidance for applicants seeking funding from the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) under the Clean Water Act (CWA) §319(h) Nonpoint Source (NPS) Grant Program. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) distributes funds appropriated by Congress annually to the TSSWCB under the authorization of CWA §319(h). TSSWCB then administers/awards these federal funds as grants to cooperating entities for activities that address the goals, objectives, and priorities stated in the Texas NPS Management Program. The Texas NPS Management Program is the State's comprehensive strategy to protect and restore water quality in waterbodies impacted by NPS water pollution. This document can be accessed online at https://www.tsswcb.texas.gov/programs/texas-nonpoint-source-management-program.

The types of agricultural and silvicultural NPS pollution prevention and abatement activities that can be funded with §319(h) grants include the following: (1) implementation of nine-element watershed protection plans (WPPs) and the agricultural and silvicultural NPS portion of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Plans (I-Plans); (2) surface water quality monitoring, data analysis and modeling, demonstration of innovative best management practices (BMPs); (3) technical assistance to landowners for conservation planning; (4) public outreach/education, development of nine-element WPPs including the formation and facilitation of stakeholder groups; and (5) monitoring activities to determine the effectiveness of specific pollution prevention methods. Strictly research activities are not eligible for §319(h) grant funding.

Proposals Requested

The TSSWCB is requesting proposals for watershed assessment, planning, implementation, demonstration, and education projects within the boundaries of impaired or threatened watersheds. TheTexas Integrated Report of Surface Water Quality(https://www.tceq.texas.gov/waterquality/assessment) describes the water quality conditions for waterbodies in the state. All proposals must focus on the restoration and protection of water quality consistent with the goals, objectives, and priority watersheds and aquifers identified in Appendix C and D of the Texas NPS Management Program. Up to $1 million of the TSSWCB's FY2026 CWA §319(h) grant will be eligible for award under this RFP. No more than 10% of these funds may be utilized for groundwater projects. A competitive proposal process will be used so that the most appropriate and effective projects are selected for available funding.

Applicants that submit project proposals should, where applicable, focus on interagency coordination, demonstrate new or innovative technologies, use comprehensive strategies that have statewide applicability, and highlight public participation. Examples of project proposals previously funded by TSSWCB are available at:

https://www.tsswcb.texas.gov/index.php/programs/texas-nonpoint-source-management-program/active-nonpoint-source-grant-projects.

Additionally, applicants are encouraged to review EPA's Grant Guidelines for the NPS Program available at https://www.epa.gov/nps/319-grant-program-states-and-territories.

Individual Award Amounts

This RFP does not set a maximum or minimum award amount for individual projects; however, project funding generally ranges between $100,000 and $400,000 for a two to three-year project.

Reimbursement and Matching Requirements

The TSSWCB CWA §319(h) NPS Grant Program has a 60/40% match requirement, however proposals that do not meet the minimum matching requirement will still be considered. The cooperating entity will be reimbursed up to 60% from federal funds and must contribute a minimum of 40% of the total costs to conduct the project. The match must be from non-federal sources (may be cash or in-kind services) and must be described in the budget justification. Reimbursable indirect costs are limited to no more than 15% of total federal direct costs.

Required Reporting and QAPP

Quarterly progress and final reports are the minimum project reporting requirements. All projects that include an environmental data collection, generation or compilation component (e.g., water quality monitoring, modeling, bacterial source tracking) must have a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), to be reviewed and approved by TSSWCB and the EPA. Project budgets and timelines should account for the development and review of QAPPs, final reports, and watershed protection plans. More information on QAPPs and the TSSWCB Environmental Data Quality Management Plan is available at https://www.tsswcb.texas.gov/programs/texas-nonpoint-source-management-program/environmental-data-quality-management.
