APPLICATION.
BL 374 LLC, 6116 North Central Expressway, Suite 510, Dallas, Texas 75206, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016411001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 490,000 gallons per day.
The facility will be located approximately 0.6 miles northeast of the intersection of Bennett Lawson Road and Gibson Cemetery Road, in Tarrant County, Texas 76063. The treated effluent will be discharged to an unnamed tributary, thence to Willow Branch, thence to Walnut Creek, thence to Joe Pool Lake in Segment No. 0838 of the Trinity River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are limited aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary and minimal aquatic life use for Willow Branch. The designated uses for Segment No. 0838 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.
