Case Title and Court: Texas Commission on Environmental Quality v. All Phase Electrical Service, Inc., et al.; Cause No. D-1-GN-18-007696; in the 419th Judicial District Court, Travis County, Texas.
Background: This suit seeks to recover from responsible parties the cleanup costs incurred by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") at the San Angelo Electric Service Company ("SESCO") State Superfund Site in San Angelo, Tom Green County, Texas (the "Site"). During SESCO's evolution from an electric engine repair shop to a facility building, repairing, and servicing electrical transformers, contaminants were spilled onto the soil and into the groundwater on and adjacent to the Site. Defendants in this suit were persons who allegedly arranged for disposal of waste at the Site. On October 31, 2019, and August 20, 2020, agreed final judgments were entered with 13 and two settling entities respectively. On February 4, 2021, an agreed final judgment was entered with another settling entity. Now, one more party, David Lee Hinkle, has agreed to reimburse the TCEQ for part of the response costs expended.
Proposed Settlement: The parties propose an Agreed Final Judgment, which provides for a total monetary contribution of $7,000 from David Lee Hinkle, awarding the TCEQ a total of $6,500 as reimbursement for its response costs and $500 as attorneys' fees.
For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the Agreed Final 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 Thomas Edwards, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Texas Attorney General, P.O. Box 12548, MC 066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, (512) 463-2012, facsimile (512) 320-0911; or email: Thomas.Edwards@oag.texas.gov.

Applicant: City of Jamaica Beach
Location: The project site is located in the Gulf of Mexico, along the beachfront of the City of Jamaica Beach, in Galveston County, Texas.
Latitude & Longitude (NAD 83): 29.180247, -94.973499
Project Description: The applicant proposes to discharge approximately 65,000 cubic yards of beach quality sand along 3,300 linear feet of beach frontage in the City of Jamaica Beach for the purpose of increasing shoreline stability and reducing erosion. The nourishment template is 200 feet wide, extending from the vegetation line at the north limit to the approximate -1.5-foot contour seaward, including 11.27 acres seaward of the High Tide Line. The applicant will obtain beach quality sand from local upland and submerged sources. The methods for removal of sand, subsequent transport, and placement within the project area will include: the use of trucks to haul the sand excavated from the upland borrow sites, using a backhoe or other excavation technique; if a part of a larger nourishment project, sand may be delivered via temporary offshore pipeline and placed directly on the beach. Once on the site, the beach quality sand will be distributed to fill the appropriate area using other heavy equipment (e.g. bulldozers, backhoes, etc.). Biological monitors will be onsite during nourishment activities and sand will not be placed on existing beach vegetation, dunes, or dune vegetation.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-2020-00774. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-2007-01847. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.
CMP Project No: 21-1195-F1
Applicant: Galveston County
Location: The proposed beach nourishment project is located on Bolivar Peninsula and the proposed near-shore sand borrow area designated as the North Jetty Borrow Area is located approximately 6,500 feet offshore of the County beach and approximately 675 feet north of the North Jetty of the Galveston Entrance Channel, within the Gulf of Mexico, in Galveston County, Texas.
Latitude & Longitude (NAD 83): Sand Borrow Area: 29.359028, -94.712758; Beach Nourishment Beginning: 29.487201, -94.550168; Beach Nourishment End: 29.555401, -94.372559
Project Description: The applicant is requesting authorization to perform beach nourishment activities that consists of the following:
1) A near-shore sand borrow area designated as the North Jetty Borrow Area;
2) Modifications to the width of the previously authorized beach nourishment area that includes the dune corridor, beach berm, fore-slope, and seaward slope areas from 500 feet to a maximum of 800 feet; and
3) Modifications to the length of the previously authorized beach nourishment area from 6 miles to 12 miles.
The volume of sand to be excavated from the North Jetty Borrow Area for beach nourishment is approximately 2.5 million cubic yards. Material would be dredged with a cutter head dredge and will be transported to the nourishment area on the County beach through a temporary placed pipeline and booster system. The North Jetty Borrow Area will measure 8,300-foot-long with varying width (1,000- to 2,500-foot-wide), totaling approximately 338 acres.
The increase in width and length of the proposed nourishment area is warranted in order to accommodate the increased size of the beach berm and dune corridor. The increased size of these features is to provide increased protection and resiliency to the beach/dune system along the project site.

Request for Proposals for Limited Access Facilities Traffic Counts and Travel Survey Data Collection
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is requesting proposals for limited access facilities traffic counts and travel survey data collection. The individual or firm will conduct a comprehensive transportation study in Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex involving traffic counts collection and a survey of transportation facility users. In recent years, the Dallas and Fort Worth TxDOT districts have installed vehicle detectors at approximately 800 locations on the freeways located in the following counties: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro, Rockwall and Tarrant. These devices measure the number of vehicles and their speed at 20-second intervals. The first goal of this project is to collect traffic counts at 100 of these locations for a continuous period of at least 24 hours.
The second purpose of the project aims at an understanding of travel behavior of the users of Limited Access Facilities (LAF) systems in the region. Understanding the decision-making process of the users enables NCTCOG staff to forecast future performance and congestion management strategies for the LAF system. Therefore, a comprehensive user survey should provide unique and informative insights on LAF users travel behavior. To supplement the user survey, traffic counts will be collected on less than 20 freeway locations and up to 150 ramps of LAF. The travel survey provides the underlying behavioral data associated with household and socioeconomic characteristics of the users. LAF travel survey is planned to be conducted on six facilities selected from managed lanes, traditional toll roads, and general-purpose freeway segments with approximate length of 5 to 10 mile sections. The plan is to conduct traffic counts at all entrance and exit ramps and main lanes of these LAF segments. Traffic counts and travel surveys are conducted within the same time period.
Proposals must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on Friday March 19, 2021, to Zhen Ding, Senior Transportation System Modeler, North Central Texas Council of Governments, 616 Six Flags Drive, Arlington, Texas 76011 and electronic submissions to TransRFPs@nctcog.org. The Request for Proposals will be available at www.nctcog.org/rfp by the close of business on Friday, February 19, 2021.
NCTCOG encourages participation by disadvantaged business enterprises and does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or disability.
