State Board for Educator Certification

The State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 235, Classroom Teacher Certification Standards, in the January 10, 2025 issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 239).

Due to error as submitted by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the phrase "define a teacher's role as a professional, an ethical, and a reflective practitioner" in 19 TAC §235.21(a) included typographical errors. The text should have read as "define a teacher's role as a professional, ethical, and reflective practitioner."

Combined Notice of Public Meeting and Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Water Quality Permit (NORI) and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016390001

APPLICATION. Megatel Homes III, LLC, Tres Rios Properties, LLC, 2101 Cedar Springs Road, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75201, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016390001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at an annual average flow not to exceed 1,330,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on August 11, 2023.

This combined notice is being issued to include public meeting information and to revise the discharge route description provided in the revised combined notice issued on February 27, 2025.

The facility will be located approximately 2.5 miles southeast of the intersection of Algoa Friendswood Road and Farm-to-Market Road 517, in Galveston County, Texas 77511. The treated effluent will be discharged to Gulf Coast Water Authority Canal G, thence to Galveston County Reservoir. During rare occurrences when the water in Galveston County Water Reservoir overtops its spillway, the discharge route is to Gulf Coast Water Authority Canal G, thence to Galveston County Water Reservoir, thence via spillway to Dickinson Bayou Tidal in Segment 1103 of the San Jacinto-Brazos Coastal Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is high aquatic life use for Gulf Coast Water Authority Canal G. The designated uses for Segment No. 1103 are primary contact recreation 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 Gulf Coast Water Authority Canal G, which has been identified as having high aquatic life uses. 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.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. 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.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING .

Unless the application is directly referred to 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.

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 and Opportunity to Comment on Requests for Consistency Agreement/Concurrence Under the Texas Coastal Management Program

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 April 21, 2025 to April 28, 2025. 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, May 2, 2025. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 1, 2025.

Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: Texas Connector Pipeline, LLC

Location: The pipeline is proposed to originate southeast of Keith Lake and to extend north to a terminus east of the Neches River and south of Beaumont, in Orange County, Texas. The pipeline route will cross the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), Taylor Bayou, Big Hill Bayou, the Sabine Neches Waterway (SNWW), and Hillebrandt Bayou.

Latitude and Longitude:

Starting point (NAD 83): Latitude: 29.758237, -93.978950

Ending point (NAD 83): Latitude: 30.067618, -93.978950

Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct a 42-inch natural gas pipeline system to provide feed gas to the Port Arthur LNG (PALNG) terminal facility. Access roads, support facilities, staging areas, and temporary workspaces are also proposed along the pipeline route. The pipeline is proposed to be installed by open cut trench and by horizontal directional drill (HDD) in specified segments. The pipeline route will cross under the GIWW, Taylor Bayou, Big Hill Bayou, the SNWW, and Hillebrandt Bayou by HDD. Top soil excavated from the trench during open cut excavation will be side cast adjacent to the trench, and segregated so it can be replaced after the pipeline is installed. Temporary work spaces and staging areas are proposed to be returned to pre-construction contours after construction is complete.

A segment of Big Hill Bayou is proposed to be dredged as an access route to transport HDD equipment. Approximately 119,717 cubic yards of native material along Big Hill Bayou is proposed to be mechanically dredged with a bucket dredge and/or marsh buggy excavator. The dredged material will be placed adjacent to the shoreline for beneficial use (BU) to reestablish the previous bank line of the bayou. The site will be allowed to revegetate naturally with native vegetation with the intent to create emergent marsh habitat consistent with the adjacent marsh. TXCPL does not propose planting or long term monitoring of the BU site. No maintenance dredging is proposed for the project. TXCPL proposes to compensate for all permanent wetland impacts by purchasing the required wetland mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-2025-00115. 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 Railroad Commission of Texas Commission as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District has found that this permit request meets the terms of Executive Order 14156 and is therefore subject to special emergency permitting procedures and an expedited review process.

CMP Project No: 25-1189-F1

Applicant: TGS Cedar Port Partners, LP

Location: project site is located in Cedar Bayou, approximately 0.45-mile southwest of the intersection of Borusan Road and County Road 1405, in Baytown, Chambers County, Texas.

Project Description: The applicant proposes to permanently discharge fill material into one palustrine emergent wetland (Wetland 1) totaling 0.03 acre and one estuarine emergent wetland (Wetland 7) totaling 7.06 acres for the purpose of expanding an existing storage lot. Additionally, the applicant proposes to mechanically and/or hydraulically dredge 26,000 cubic yards of material from two estuarine emergent wetlands (Wetland 6 and Wetland 7) totaling 0.42 acres to a maximum depth of -16.28 feet mean high water (-15 feet mean lower low water) to match the depth of the new federal channel. The applicant's remaining dredge footprint will be conducted by the Corps as part of the Cedar Bayou Channel Improvement Project. The dredge material will be placed in one or more of the following dredge material placement areas (DMPAs): DMPAs 6, 14, 15, Targa, Texas Deepwater, Adloy, Avera, Boaz Island, or Midbay as depicted on the project plans. The applicant is proposing to mitigate for the permanent loss of waters of the U.S. by purchasing credits from an approved mitigation bank or performing onsite, in-kind mitigation.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-2020-00632. 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.
