Texas Water Code and Texas Health and Safety Code Settlement Notice

Notice is hereby given by the State of Texas of the following proposed resolution of an environmental enforcement action under the Texas Water Code and the Texas Health and Safety Code. Before the State may enter into a voluntary settlement agreement, pursuant to section 7.110 of the Texas Water Code, the State shall permit the public to comment in writing on the proposed judgment. The Attorney General will consider any written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed agreed judgment if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Texas Water Code.

Case Title and Court: Harris County, Texas, and the State of Texas, acting by and through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, a Necessary and Indispensable Party v. Rohm & Haas Chemicals, LLC; Cause No. 2021-77164, in the 113th Judicial District, Harris County, Texas.

Nature of the Suit: Defendant Rohm & Haas Chemicals, LLC ("Rohm") owns and operates a chemical manufacturing facility located at 13300 Bay Area Boulevard in La Porte, Harris County, Texas. Harris County initiated a suit based on concerns of the facility emitting air contaminants without legal authorization. Harris County alleges that on July 21, 2021, a tanker wagon containing hydroxyethyl acrylate ("HEA") was awaiting transport at the facility. Due to the increase in temperature and pressure in the tank wagon, the phenothiazine ("PTZ") reactive inhibitor within the tanker wagon began to decompose, creating an exothermic reaction inside the tank wagon, and caused an emission of the contaminants in the air. A half-mile evacuation zone was established, and the City of La Porte issued a shelter-in-place order. The State of Texas, on behalf of the TCEQ, joined the suit as a necessary and indispensable party.

Proposed Settlement: The proposed Agreed Final Judgment includes injunctive relief that orders Defendant to immediately adhere to the tank wagon management practices and procedures as laid out in Rohm’s approved CAP; maintain all records under the system described in Rohm’s approved CAP; and comply with all CAP requirements when implementing the tank wagon management practices and procedures and recordkeeping provisions of Rohm’s approved CAP. The proposed settlement also assesses against Defendant civil penalties in the amount of $50,000 to be equally divided between Harris County and the State; attorney’s fees in the amount of $15,705 to Harris County and $9,000 to the State; court costs in the amount of $295; and post- judgment interest in the amount of 5% per annum.

For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete proposed Agreed Final Judgment should be reviewed. Requests for copies of the judgment, and written comments on the proposed settlement, should be directed to Wesley S. Williams, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General, P.O. Box 12548, MC 066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, phone (512) 463-2012, facsimile (512) 320-0911, or email: wesley.williams@oag.texas.gov. Written comments must be received within 30 days of publication of this notice to be considered.

Texas Education Code (TEC), §37.0832(c), requires school districts to adopt policies and procedures concerning bullying prevention. TEC, §12.104(b)(3)(Q), also subjects open-enrollment charter schools to this requirement. Senate Bill 2050, 87th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2021, added TEC, §37.0832(c-1), which requires Texas Education Agency (TEA) to adopt minimum standards for the bullying prevention policies and procedures adopted under TEC, §37.0832(c).

TEA is inviting feedback from any interested person on the updated proposed minimum standards for bullying prevention policies and procedures. The updated proposed minimum standards were revised to align the draft to several new initiatives and rulemaking related to school safety. The updated proposed minimum standards will be available beginning October 28, 2022, on the TEA website at https://tea.texas.gov/texas-schools/health-safety-discipline/student-discipline. Public feedback will be accepted October 28-November 28, 2022, and should be submitted to StudentDisciplineSupport@tea.texas.gov with the subject line "Updated Minimum Standards Public Feedback."

The petition was filed pursuant to Article XVI, §59 of the Constitution of the State of Texas; Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code; 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 293; and the procedural rules of the TCEQ. The petition states that: (1) the Petitioner holds title to a majority in value of the land to be included in the proposed District; (2) there are no lienholders on the property to be included in the proposed District; (3) the proposed District will contain approximately 1,018.429 acres located within Denton County, Texas; and (4) all of the land within the proposed District is wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Denton, Texas. The petition further states that the proposed District will: (1) construct, maintain, and operate a waterworks system, including the purchase and sale of water for domestic and commercial purposes; (2) construct, maintain, and operate a sanitary sewer, treatment, and disposal system for domestic and commercial purposes; (3) construct, install, maintain, purchase, and operate drainage and roadway facilities and improvements; and construct, install, maintain, purchase, and operate facilities, systems, plants, and enterprises of such additional facilities as shall be consonant with all of the purposes for which the proposed District is created. According to the petition, a preliminary investigation has been made to determine the cost of the project, and it is estimated by the Petitioners that the cost of said project will be approximately $191,620,000 ($154,885,000 for water, wastewater, and drainage and $36,735,000 for roads).

The Property is located wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas (the "City"). In accordance with Local Government Code §42.042 and Texas Water Code §54.016, the Petitioner submitted a petition to the City, requesting the City’s consent to the creation of the District. After more than 90 days passed without receiving consent, the petitioner submitted a petition to the City to provide water or sewer services to the District. The 120-day period for reaching a mutually agreeable contract as established by the Texas Water Code §54.016(c) expired and the information provided indicates that the Petitioners and the City have not executed a mutually agreeable contract for service. Pursuant to Texas Water Code §54.016(d), failure to execute such an agreement constitutes authorization for the Petitioners to initiate proceedings to include the land within the district.

Notice Issued on October 19, 2022

Application. Nido, Ltd., P.O. Box 790641, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas 78279, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a permit amendment to authorize the vertical expansion at the existing Type IV Beck Landfill. There is no lateral increase in the disposal footprint of the landfill. The maximum permitted height of the final cover system is proposed to be increased from 772 feet above mean sea level to 890 feet above mean sea level. The facility is located at 550 FM 78, Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas 78154. The TCEQ received this application on September 13, 2022. The permit application is available for viewing and copying at the Schertz Library, 798 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas 78154, and may be viewed online at http://downloads.cecinc.com/Beck%20Landfill%20MSW%201848A%20Amendment/.

Alternative Language Notice. Alternative language notice in Spanish is available at www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/mswapps. La notificación en otro idioma en español está disponible en www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/mswapps.

Additional Notice. TCEQ’s Executive Director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. After technical review of the application is complete, the Executive Director may prepare a draft permit and will issue a preliminary decision on the application. Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the county-wide mailing list and to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the deadline for submitting public comments.

Public Comment/Public Meeting. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

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, and the Executive Director’s decision on the application, 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 reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A person who may be affected by the facility is entitled to request a contested case hearing from the commission. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in 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 permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the 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 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 that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision on the application submitted during the comment period.

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 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.

BACKGROUND

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is required under the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, Texas Health and Safety Code (THSC), Chapter 361, to identify, to the extent feasible, and evaluate facilities which may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety or to the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment.

Adopted Fiscal Year 2023 Research Agenda

Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group

Introduction

The commissioner of workers' compensation considers the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Research Agenda for the Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group (REG) at the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC).

Texas Labor Code §405.0025 requires the REG to conduct professional studies and research related to how effectively the workers' compensation system operates. Section 405.0026 requires the REG to annually publish a workers' compensation research agenda listing the topics the REG will study for that year.

DWC published the proposed research agenda in the September 9, 2022, issue of the Texas Register (47 TexReg 5520) and sought public review and comment. DWC received one comment and no requests for a public hearing.

Summary of Comments and Agency Response

Comment: One commenter recommends that the REG include as part of its proposed agenda an analysis of adopting the latest (sixth) edition of American Medical Association (AMA) Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment for Mental and Behavioral Disorders. The commenter adds that the current (fourth) edition that TDI uses is outdated in terms of mental health treatment and disorders.

Response: DWC appreciates the comment. Given the requirements of the REG this fiscal year and serving as a resource during the upcoming legislative session, the REG does not currently have the resources to take on this project at this time. However, the REG will consider the feasibility of such a study in a future research agenda if this data is readily available.

Order

It is ordered that the FY 2023 Research Agenda for the Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group is adopted as follows:

1. An update of medical costs and utilization in the Texas workers' compensation system, with additional attention on the cost and utilization of office visits and physical medicine services.

2. An analysis of injured employee access to medical care provided under the workers' compensation system, including an analysis of access to medical care through TDI-certified workers' compensation health care networks.

3. An update of return-to-work outcomes for injured employees, including an examination of injured Texas employees' initial and sustained return-to-work rates and wage-recovery rates.

4. An updated analysis of the impact of the pharmacy closed formulary on the utilization and cost patterns in pharmacy prescriptions for new and legacy claims and post-formulary trends in the utilization of physical medicine in the Texas workers' compensation system.

The REG will consider expanding the scope of the research projects or conducting more projects to accommodate stakeholder suggestions, subject to the resources and data available.

To claim a "CA$H PLU$" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, $100, $200 or $500, a claimant shall sign the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated on the Scratch Ticket and may present the winning Scratch Ticket to any Texas Lottery Retailer. The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, if appropriate, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the Scratch Ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not required, to pay a $50.00, $100, $200 or $500 Scratch Ticket Game. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and Section 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. To claim a "CA$H PLU$" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $1,000, $5,000 or $100,000, the claimant must sign the winning Scratch Ticket and may present it at one of the Texas Lottery's Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will be made to the bearer of the validated winning Scratch Ticket for that prize upon presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. 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 "CA$H PLU$" Scratch Ticket Game prize the claimant may submit the signed winning Scratch Ticket and a thoroughly completed claim form via mail. If a prize value is $1,000,000 or more, the claimant must also provide proof of Social Security number or Tax Payer Identification (for U.S. Citizens or Resident Aliens). Mail all to: Texas Lottery Commission, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The Texas Lottery is not responsible for Scratch Tickets lost in the mail. 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.
