Case Title and Court: Goldston Oil Corporation v. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Cause No. D-1-GN-21-005412; in the 53rd Judicial District of Travis County, Texas.
Background: On August 11, 2021, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") issued an administrative order ("Order") finding that certain parties, including Goldston Oil Corporation, were potentially responsible for solid waste, hazardous substances, pollutants, and other contaminants at the McBay Oil and Gas State Superfund Site (the "Site"), a former oil refinery and oil reclamation plant located on a 20.32-acre tract on FM 1272, two miles west of the intersection with FM 2968 (North Olive Street), near Grapeland, Houston County, Texas. TCEQ's Order required Goldston Oil Corporation, and other potentially responsible parties, to reimburse all costs associated with TCEQ's cleanup of the Site. On September 16, 2021, Goldston Oil Corporation filed an appeal of TCEQ's Order.
Proposed Agreed Judgment: The Parties propose an Agreed Final Judgement which provides TCEQ's releases and covenants not to sue Goldston concerning the Site subject to certain reservations of rights. The settlement also provides that Goldston releases and covenants not to sue TCEQ concerning the Site or this litigation.
For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete proposed Agreed Final Judgment should be reviewed in its entirety. Requests for copies of the proposed settlement, and written comments on the same, should be directed to Clark Reeder, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General of Texas, P.O.

Outside Counsel will prepare required legal documentation in connection with the making of TDHCA loans secured by residential real estate. In this regard, any Outside Counsel would be expected to perform certain tasks and would be expressly allowed and directed to rely upon factual information provided by the Department and others. Outside Counsel would also be provided with standard form documents, approved by the Department's legal staff, would review these draft documents for legal sufficiency and correctness, and work with the Department to agree upon the form of documents to be used. The Department will provide Outside Counsel with a specific request for each TDHCA loan or release to be documented and each request would be accompanied by certain specific documents. Outside Counsel will be allowed and required to rely on the Department to address or assume responsibility, as between the Department and Outside Counsel, for enumerated factual items and matters. Any invoice for services by Outside Counsel must state the cost of their services in sufficient detail that the Department could use that stated cost in the preparation of Texas Disclosure of Closing Costs and legally compliant integrated mortgage disclosures prepared in accordance with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") and 12 CFR Part 1024 ("Reg. X"), the Truth in Lending Act ("TILA") and 12 CFR Part 1026 ("Reg Z"), and rules promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

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.
C. As an alternative method of claiming a "COWBOYS" Scratch Ticket Game prize, the claimant may submit the signed winning Scratch Ticket and a thoroughly completed claim form via mail.

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 "COWBOYS" 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.

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. If more than one name appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On May 10, 2019, the tanker ship VLGC Genesis River (Genesis River) collided with the tugboat Voyager in the Houston Ship Channel near Bayport, Texas (Collision). The Collision caused approximately 600,000 gallons of reformate (a colorless, refined petroleum product) to rapidly discharge into the Houston Ship Channel and Galveston Bay (Spill). For purposes of natural resource damages, Kirby Inland Marine, L.P. (Kirby) was identified as the Responsible Party.
The Trustees, consisting of TPWD, TCEQ, GLO, and NOAA, conducted a NRDAR in cooperation with the Responsible Party, Kirby. The assessment found that the Spill resulted in acute injury to aquatic organisms (fish and invertebrates) throughout the water column.
On September 1, 2021, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas entered a Consent Decree resolving the Trustees' claims for injuries to natural resources resulting from the Spill. Kirby agreed to pay $1,695,802 in damages and assessment costs to resolve federal and state claims for injuries to natural resources and services resulting from the Spill and to provide for the Trustees' costs to oversee, implement, and monitor the restoration of natural resources.
This Draft DARP/EA was prepared jointly by the Trustees to inform the public of the Trustees' authorities and responsibilities under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 United States Code [U.S.C.] 2701 et seq.) and the National Environmental Policy Act (83 Stat. 852; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and to solicit public comment on proposed projects to restore resources injured by the Spill. In this Draft DARP/EA, the Trustees evaluate potential restoration projects that exhibit a sufficient relationship to the natural resources injured and would compensate the public for natural resource losses resulting from the Spill. The Trustees propose the Gordy Marsh Living Shoreline project as the preferred restoration project. The total estimated cost to implement the preferred project (alternative) is approximately $1,250,000 and includes construction of a breakwater to protect wetland and coastal prairie habitat and the creation of marsh habitat by planting marsh grasses behind the constructed breakwater. The Trustees invite the public to comment on the Draft DARP/EA.
