Combined Notice of Public Meeting and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Industrial Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0005289000

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. City of Corpus Christi, P.O. Box 9277, Corpus Christi, Texas 78469, which proposes to operate the Inner Harbor Desalination Plant, a seawater desalination facility, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a new permit, Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0005289000, to authorize the discharge of water treatment waste at a daily average flow not to exceed 34,300,000 gallons per day (gpd) for the initial phase and 51,500,000 gpd for the final phase via Outfall 001. The TCEQ received this application on January 22, 2020.

The facility will be located at the intersection of Nueces Bay Boulevard and East Broadway Street, in the City of Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas 78401. The treated effluent will be discharged from Outfall 001 directly to Corpus Christi Inner Harbor in Segment No. 2484 of the Bays and Estuaries. Outfall 001 is proposed to be located in the Inner Harbor Ship channel. The designated uses for Segment No. 2484 are non-contact recreation and intermediate aquatic life use. In accordance with Title 30 Texas Administrative Code Section 307.5 and 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 Corpus Christi Inner Harbor, which has been identified as having intermediate 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://tceq.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=db5bac44afbc468bbddd360f8168250f&marker=-97.418055%2C27.8075&level=12

The TCEQ Executive Director reviewed this action for consistency with the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) goals and policies in accordance with the regulations of the General Land Office and has determined that the action is consistent with the applicable CMP goals and policies.

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 online at https://www.cctexas.com/government/city-secretary/agendas/misc.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting 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:

Thursday, April 18, 2024, at 7:00 p.m.

American Bank Convention Center (Henry Garrett Ballroom B and C)

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.

Notice of Opportunity to Comment on Shutdown/Default Orders of an Administrative Enforcement Action

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) staff is providing an opportunity for written public comment on the listed Shutdown/Default Orders (S/DOs). Texas Water Code (TWC), §26.3475, authorizes the commission to order the shutdown of any underground storage tank (UST) system found to be noncompliant with release detection, spill and overfill prevention, and/or, after December 22, 1998, cathodic protection regulations of the commission, until such time as the owner/operator brings the UST system into compliance with those regulations. The commission proposes a Shutdown Order after the owner or operator of a UST facility fails to perform required corrective actions within 30 days after receiving notice of the release detection, spill, and overfill prevention, and/or after December 22, 1998, cathodic protection violations documented at the facility. The commission proposes a Default Order when the staff has sent an Executive Director's Preliminary Report and Petition (EDPRP) to an entity outlining the alleged violations, the proposed penalty, the proposed technical requirements necessary to bring the entity back into compliance, and the entity fails to request a hearing on the matter within 20 days of its receipt of the EDPRP or requests a hearing and fails to participate at the hearing. In accordance with TWC, §7.075, this notice of the proposed order and the opportunity to comment is published in the Texas Register no later than the 30th day before the date on which the public comment period closes, which in this case is April 15, 2024. The commission will consider any written comments received and the commission may withdraw or withhold approval of an S/DO if a comment discloses facts or considerations that indicate that consent to the proposed S/DO is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the statutes and rules within the commission's jurisdiction, or the commission's orders and permits issued in accordance with the commission's regulatory authority. Additional notice of changes to a proposed S/DO is not required to be published if those changes are made in response to written comments.

A copy of each proposed S/DO is available for public inspection at both the commission's central office, located at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building A, 3rd Floor, Austin, Texas 78753, (512) 239‑3400 and at the applicable regional office listed as follows. Written comments about the S/DO shall be sent to the attorney designated for the S/DO at the commission's central office at P.O. Box 13087, MC 175, Austin, Texas 78711‑3087 and must be received by 5:00 p.m. on April 15, 2024. The commission's attorneys are available to discuss the S/DOs and/or the comment procedure at the listed phone number; however, comments on the S/DOs shall be submitted to the commission in writing.

CMP Project No: 24-1152-F2

Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: Nueces County Coastal Parks Department

Location: The project site is located at four non-contiguous beach zones of the Gulf of Mexico within Nueces and Kleberg Counties on Mustang and North Padre Islands.

- Zone 1: 1.0-mile stretch of beach extending from Lantana Dr., Pt. Aransas, to the Pt. Aransas south jetty in Nueces County

- Zone 2: 0.79-mile stretch of beach extending from Newport Access Road south to Marker 203 in Nueces County

- Zone 3: 1.19-mile stretch of beach extending from Access Road 4 to Access Road 6 in Nueces County

- Zone 4: 1.79-mile stretch of beach extending from Access Road 6 south to Marker 253 in Kleberg County

Latitude and Longitude:

- Zone 1: 27.8295, -97.0510

- Zone 2: 27.6284, -97.1955

- Zone 3: 27.5869, -97.2176

- Zone 4: 27.5656, -97.2286

Project Description: The project is for the cleaning and maintenance of beach zones along the Gulf of Mexico. The beach maintenance activities include:

- Removal of all non-natural material (lumber, plastic bottles, cans, etc.) from the beach to an off-site sanitary landfill.

- Movement of sand from above the annual high tide line (AHT) with subsequent placement on the beach between AHT and the mean high waterline (MHW). Activity is for beach grooming and to improve the aesthetics of the beach and to provide safe public drive lanes.

- Re-positioning of sand from the toe of the dune line to just above AHT for beach roadway maintenance.

- Re-positioning of sand/sargassum from drive lanes to base of the fore dunes or above MHW.

- Conduct leveling of the beach, sand placement, and sargassum collection above the MHW.

The applicant proposes an extension of time to continue conducting the previously permitted beach maintenance practices and an amendment to add one additional maintenance area zone, Zone 4, that would be south from the current Zone 3 and reduce the habitat monitoring and beach width measurements in the maintenance zones to only twice a year instead of the currently permitted four times a year. The stated purpose of the project is to conduct beach maintenance activities associated with the periodic removal of sargassum and non-natural items (such as lumber, plastic bottles, cans, etc.) from the public beach and to preserve public vehicular access to the beach. The applicant has stated that they would avoid and minimize the environmental impacts by: conducting maintenance operations during daylight hours; having a monitor on site during all heavy equipment operation during sea turtle nesting season. No mitigation is proposed.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2008-01272. 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. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 24-1150-F1

Applicant: Brazoria County

Location: The project site is located in the Gulf of Mexico, along the western shoreline south of San Luis Pass, approximately 0.25-mile southeast of the intersection of Texas State Highway 257 (Bluewater Highway) and Palm Street, in Freeport, Brazoria County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.074459, -95.124113

Project Description: The applicant proposes to discharge a maximum of 273,000 cubic yards of beach quality sand into approximately 35.8 acres of waters of the US below high tide line for the purpose of beach nourishment. The applicant is proposing to use two potential local borrow areas as depicted on the drawings; 1) San Luis Pass boat ramp channel and 2) an adjacent dredge material placement area (DMPA). If these two sites are not available, the applicant is requesting to use one or more of the following upland borrow sites: Vulcan Materials Kyle Pit (Fordyce), Port of Bay City, Bruce Evans Property, Krumwiede (River Bottoms Sands), Sunbird/Sunset Cove Subdivision, Pepper Cove at Terramar Beach Subdivision and Stavanger. Access to the project site will be via County Road 257. The sand material from the boat ramp channel will be transported to the project site through a multi-step process involving hydraulic and/or mechanical methods of material transportation via dredge material pipeline or trucking to the proposed beach nourishment template. The sand material from the DMPA will be mechanically excavated and trucked to the placement area or hydraulically pumped via a material transport pipeline to the beach nourishment template. The hydraulic pipeline will be temporarily placed within the proposed 50-foot-wide pipeline corridor depicted on the drawings in order to reach the proposed beach fill template. The applicant has designed the project to avoid impacts to special aquatic sites including, wetlands, seagrasses, and oyster beds. Best Management Practices such as use of silt curtains and silt fencing will be used during discharge of nourishment material to minimize impacts from turbidity. The applicant is not proposing mitigation.
