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. WQ0016475001

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Allied Development LLC, 16430 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 210, Scottsdale, Arizona 85254, as applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016475001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 45,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on January 29, 2024.

The purpose of this combined notice is to convey to the public the details of the TCEQ Public Meeting referenced below, and to update the contact information for the Applicant's representative provided in the NORI and at the bottom of this notice.

The facility will be located approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 150 and Ranch Road 12, in Hays County, Texas 78620. The treated effluent will be discharged to to an unnamed tributary, thence to Onion Creek in Segment No. 1427 of the Colorado River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is limited aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary. The designated uses for Segment No. 1427 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, aquifer protection, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and the TCEQ 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 Onion Creek, which has been identified as having high 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.

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.

Persons with disabilities who need special accommodations at the meeting should call the Office of the Chief Clerk at (512) 239-3300 or (800) RELAY-TX (TDD) at least five business days prior to the meeting.

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.

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 specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk.

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 312.055 acres located within Grayson County, Texas; and (4) all of the land within the proposed District is wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of City of Sherman. The petition further states that the proposed District will: (1) purchase, construct, acquire, improve, or extend inside or outside of its boundaries any and all works improvements, facilities, plants, equipment, and appliances necessary or helpful to supply and distribute water for municipal, domestic, and commercial purposes; (2) collect, transport, process, dispose of and control domestic and commercial wastes; (3) gather, conduct, divert, abate, amend, and control local storm water or other harmful excesses of water; (4) design, acquire, construct, finance, improve, operate, and maintain macadamized, graveled, or paved roads and turnpikes, or improvements in aid of those roads; and (5) purchase, construct, acquire, improve, or extend inside or outside of its boundaries such additional facilities, systems, plants, and enterprises 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 Petitioner that the cost of said project will be approximately $54,105,000 ($42,275,000 for water, wastewater, and drainage plus $11,830,000 for roads). The Property is located wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Sherman, Grayson 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 and sewer services to the proposed District.

Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Revisions to 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapters 17 and 18

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (commission or TCEQ) will offer a public hearing to receive testimony regarding rules applicable to Tax Relief for Property Used for Environmental Protection and Voter-Approval Tax Relief for Pollution Control Requirements. These proposals are made under the requirements of Texas Water Code, §5.102, §5.103 and the Texas Tax Code, §11.31 and §26.045.

TCEQ is required at least once every three years to review and update the items on the Expedited Review Lists (ERL) and the items on the Tier I Tables in Chapters 17 and 18. This proposed rulemaking would fulfill the requirements for the commission to review and update the property included on the ERL and Tier I Table in Chapter 17. The rulemaking would also add certain property to the Tier I Table, consistent with advice from the Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Advisory Committee dated December 1, 2022.

The proposed rulemaking would also implement Section 44 of Senate Bill 2 of the 86th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2019, which requires rulemaking to correct the title of Chapter 18 to Voter-Approval Tax Rate Relief for Pollution Control Requirements.

Other changes would modernize various aspects of the program, clarify that the executive director specifies the form of application submittal, move the ERL in Chapter 17 to a new section, and remove existing requirements that the commission review and update the Tier I Table every three years.

The commission will offer a virtual public hearing on September 29, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT). The hearing is structured for the receipt of oral comments by interested persons. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. Open discussion will not be permitted during the hearing; however, commission staff members will be available to discuss the proposal 30 minutes prior to the hearing at 9:30 a.m..

The hearing will be conducted in English, and instructions for participating in the hearing will also be provided in Spanish. Persons who have special communication or other accommodation needs who are planning to attend the hearing should contact Sandy Wong, General Law Division at (512) 239-1802 or 1-800-RELAY-TX (TDD). Requests should be made as far in advance as possible.

Written comments may be submitted to Elizabeth Sartain, MC 110, Office of Air, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, or faxed to either (512) 239-4804 or fax4808@tceq.texas.gov.

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 August 11, 2025 to August 22, 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, August 29, 2025. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 28, 2025.

Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

Location: The project site is located in Redfish Bay at two islands that are part of the Dagger Island Complex, approximately 4.5 miles south of Aransas Pass in Nueces County, Texas. The location occurs within the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area (RBSSA) as designated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and owned by the Texas General Land Office, on state Submerged Tracts 336 and 341.

Latitude and Longitude: 27.84462, -97.15833

Project Description: Work considered for this project was originally authorized 26 July 2018 for the discharge of dredge and fill material at two sites within the Dagger Island complex to reduce shoreline erosion, restore lost aquatic resources, and prevent erosional degradation of seagrass beds within the RBSSA. A permit modification was issued 4 January 2020 for a reduction in size of the planned project Site 2 containment area from the originally authorized 28.3 acres to 24.8 acres, and a decrease of project-wide wetland impacts from the originally authorized 42.84 acres to 37.32 acres. To date, graded stone fill material has been placed at Site 1 for the construction of an approximately 2,912-foot-long nearshore breakwater along the southeast shoreline of the existing island, and graded stone fill material has been placed at Site 2 for the construction of an approximately 3,990-foot-long breakwater and levees. Authorization for this work expired 31 December 2023.

The current permit modification request is for authorization to place the remaining approximately 423,066 cubic yards (CY) of dredged material at Site 2 within an approximately 24.8-acre containment area to construct the previously authorized beneficial use site. Reference data from a nearby ecological reference site, Ransom Point Island, would be utilized to establish appropriate physical conditions, elevations, and contours for the establishment of intertidal shoreline, tidal flats, tidal wetlands, and high marsh resources within the beneficial use site. Once this material has been placed, it would have a settling period of approximately 6 months to 1 year before earth work can be done to level the area and work towards the development of this proposed high marsh. Over a 5-year postconstruction period, the beneficial use site would be monitored for the successful establishment of approximately 4.2 acres of intertidal shoreline, 4.6 acres of tidal flats, 10.1 acres of smooth cordgrass-dominated tidal marsh, 11.2 acres of high marsh, and 3.4 acres of palustrine open water.

Since the intent of the proposed project is to restore, enhance, establish and protect existing aquatic resources (i.e. seagrass meadows within the RBSSA), these activities are expected to result in net increases in aquatic resource functions and services. Therefore, compensatory mitigation is not proposed for this activity.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2017-00295. 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: 25-1266-F1

Applicant: Texas City Terminal Railroad

Location: The project site is located in Galveston Bay, north of the Texas City Channel Turning Basin, approximately 0.52-mile east of southeast of the intersection of Bay Street South and 2nd Avenue South, in Texas City, Galveston County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.3810312, -94.8848401

Project Description: The applicant proposes to place 31 individual 48-inch-diameter steel monopiles within a 75.4-acre area north of the Texas City Channel Turning Basin to establish a barge fleeting area. The piles will be arranged to include three 260-foot mooring locations each with 3 monopiles, a 600-foot mooring location with 6 monopiles, and a 1,690-foot mooring location with 12 monopiles. Additionally, 4 monopiles will be installed around an existing range. Monopiles will be placed with the use of either a diesel impact hammer or vibratory hammer. Mitigation is not proposed.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application SWG-2024-00831. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.

CMP Project No: 25-1269-F1

Revised Public Notice: Drug Shortages

The original notice was posted in the Texas Register on July 25, 2025. This revised notice reflects a correction to the proposed amendment language regarding alternative prescribed drugs.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit transmittal number 25-0023 to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act.

The proposed amendment states that if a covered outpatient drug (i.e., a drug that does have a federal rebate) is in short supply, an alternative prescribed drug that does not meet the definition of a covered outpatient drug can replace the covered outpatient drug that is on the formulary and is eligible for Federal Financial Participation. The drug shortage must be identified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). This will allow Texas to mitigate the effects of drug shortages and ensure continued access to medication. The proposed amendment is effective July 1, 2025.

The proposed amendment is estimated to have no fiscal impact. The amendment allows prescribed drugs to be eligible for federal financial participation when medically necessary during drug shortages identified by the FDA or ASHP.

To obtain copies of the proposed amendment, interested parties may contact Jayasree Sankaran, State Plan Coordinator, by mail at the Health and Human Services Commission, P.O. Box 13247, Mail Code H-310, Austin, Texas 78711; by telephone at (512) 438-4331; or by email at Medicaid_Chip_SPA_Inquiries@hhsc.state.tx.us.

Once submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for approval, copies of the proposed amendment will be available for review at the HHSC Access and Eligibility Services for local benefit offices.
