Additional notice of changes to a proposed AO is not required to be published if those changes are made in response to written comments.

Combined Notice of Public Meeting and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016557001

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Bishop Airfield II, LLC, 6657 Virginia Parkway, Suite 100, McKinney, Texas 75071, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016557001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at an annual average flow not to exceed 1,180,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on June 10, 2024.

The facility will be located approximately 0.5 miles southwest of the intersection of Bishop Road and Whitehead Road, in Hunt County, Texas 75189. The treated effluent will be discharged via pipe to Renfro Creek, thence to South Fork Sabine River, thence to Lake Tawakoni in Segment No. 0507 of the Sabine River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is limited aquatic life use for Renfro Creek and South Fork Sabine River. 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 §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.

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. The permit application, Executive Director's preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Walworth Harrison Public Library, 1 Lou Finney Lane, Greenville, in Hunt County, Texas.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments about this application. The TCEQ will hold a public meeting on this application because it was requested by a local legislator.

The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. 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.

The Public Meeting is to be held:

Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.

Royse City ISD Performing Arts Center

Persons with disabilities who need special accommodations at the meeting should call the Office of the Chief Clerk at (512) 239-3300 or (800) RELAY-TX (TDD) at least five business days prior to the meeting.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision. 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." If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group's representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member's location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group's purpose.

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.

MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county.

Combined Notice of Public Meeting and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016696001

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. MLCED Grandview Utility, LLC, 5274 Monterey Drive, Frisco, Texas 75034, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016696001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 950,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on December 27, 2024.

PURPOSE OF COMBINED NOTICE: This combined notice conveys to the public the details of the TCEQ Public Meeting referenced below.

The facility will be located approximately 0.9 mile southeast of the intersection of County Road 106 and County Road 203, in Johnson County, Texas 76050. The treated effluent will be discharged via Outfall 001 to a man-made channel, thence to an unnamed tributary; and via Outfall 002 to a man-made channel, thence to a storm pipe, thence to an unnamed tributary; thence all outfalls to South 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 man-made channel, limited aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary, and high aquatic life use for South Fork Chambers 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 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. A Tier 2 review has preliminarily determined that no significant degradation of water quality is expected in South Fork Chambers Creek, which has been identified as having high 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.

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. The permit application, Executive Director's preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Alvarado Public Library, service desk, 210 North Baugh Street, Alvarado, in Johnson County, Texas.

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 February 6, 2026 to February 13, 2026. 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, February 20, 2026. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 22, 2026.

Federal Agency Activities:

Applicant: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District

Location: Cedar Bayou Placement Area 2 (PA 2), north of Atkinson Island and the Cedar Bayou Navigation Channel (CBNC), Galveston Bay, Harris County, Texas.

Project Description: This Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates potential impacts associated with the proposed expansion and operation of PA 2. The proposed action is the expansion of the existing PA 2 for placement of operations and maintenance dredged material from the CBNC. The existing PA 2 area consists of approximately 48 acres of submerged bay bottom north of the channel, between miles 2.5 and 3.0. The proposed expansion area would add approximately 100 acres to the existing PA 2, extending this area approximately 1,500 by 3,200 feet to the north/northeast.

Type of Application: USACE Draft EA.

CMP Project No: 26-1083-F2

Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: City of Corpus Christi

Latitude and Longitude: 27.81758, -97.38984

Project Description: To conduct beach maintenance and nourishment. The applicant proposes to continue beach nourishment on North Beach to maintain acceptable beach widths for recreation and protect existing infrastructure. In partnership with the Texas General Land Office, the applicant proposes to place 150,000 cubic yards (CY) of beach-quality sand (compatible with the existing beach) per event on an approximately 3,900-foot stretch of North Beach, a downtown recreational area on the western shoreline of Corpus Christi Bay. Of the total material to be placed, approximately 130,000 CY would be imported from an inland source, and the remaining 20,000 CY would be excavated and redistributed from the northern (accretional) end of the existing beach. Beach material would be transported and placed at the site via truck. Sediment would be graded from land towards the water. No in-water construction equipment is anticipated for this project. Material would be placed over a total placement area of approximately 21.6 acres of existing beach within jurisdictional areas below the High Tide Line, of which approximately 20.3 acres are below the Mean High Water Line. Sand would be excavated from a total of approximately 4.2 acres of jurisdictional areas below the Annual High Tide Line, of which approximately 4.0 acres are below the Mean High Water Line.

The applicant has provided the following explanation why compensatory mitigation should not be required: No impacts to special aquatic sites are proposed; therefore, no compensatory mitigation is required.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-1998-00131. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

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.

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:

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 "YELLOWSTONE" 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 "YELLOWSTONE" 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.
