Combined Notice of Public Meeting and notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016297001

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. BL 12 Holdings LLC, 101 Parklane Boulevard, Suite 104, Sugar Land, Texas 77478, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016297001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 850,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on February 15, 2023.

The location of the outfall has been moved approximately 1.6 km downstream Callihan Creek from 29.785064 N, 97.762800 W to 29.774867 N, 97.767811 W.

The facility will be located approximately 3,450 feet northeast of the intersection of Political Road and San Marcos Highway, in Caldwell County, Texas 78644. The treated effluent will be discharged to Callihan Creek, thence to Lower San Marcos River in Segment No. 1808 of the Guadalupe River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is limited aquatic life use for Callihan Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 1808 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code Section 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. This review has preliminarily determined that no water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses are present within the stream reach assessed; therefore, no Tier 2 degradation determination is required. No significant degradation of water quality is expected in water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses downstream, and 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. The permit application, Executive Director's preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Dr. Eugene Clark Library, 217 South Main Street, Lockhart, Texas.

El aviso de idioma alternativo en español está disponible en https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/wastewater/plain-language-summaries-and-public-notices.

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:

Tuesday, August 29, 2023 at 7:00 p.m.

Lockhart High School Cafeteria

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 one week 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.

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. 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. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.

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 July 8, 2023 to July 14 2023. 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 §§30.25, 30.32, and 30.41, 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, July 21, 2023. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 20, 2023.

FEDERAL AGENCY ACTIONS:

Applicant: Houston Pipe Line Company, LLC

Location: The project site is located in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 3.5 miles east of Padre Island, in Kenedy County, Texas, extending into Kleberg County and Willacy County. The project site can be located on the Texas GLO Land and Lease Viewer: Submerged Original Texas Land Survey (OTS) Track 1064 through to Track 979 under easement numbers ME800158 and ME20000074.

Latitude and Longitude:

Point of Beginning: 26.466878, -97.075740

Point of Ending: 27.373889, -97.336389

Project Description: The applicant proposes to decommission-in-place the entire Padre Island Pipeline System, which includes: the 68.0-mile length of 20-inch pipeline known as PSN ME800158, the 2.2-mile length of 10-inch lateral pipeline known as PSN ME20000074, and the 0.42-mile length of 10-inch lateral pipeline known as the southern lateral. The applicant has stated that the proposed project would not result in either temporary or permanent impacts to the seafloor. The applicant states that full removal of this pipeline system would cause significant disturbance and ecological damage to the seafloor and would introduce an unnecessary safety risk to personnel involved in the removal operations. In accordance with the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement 30 CFR 250.1750, pipeline decommissioning requirements, the applicant proposes to perform the following: 1) Disconnect from the previous service platform and subsea tie-in connections; 2) Flush the lines by pigging and fill with seawater to equalize the line pressure; 3) Plug each end of the pipeline segments; and 4) Cover each end with a protective concrete mat and confirm the depth of cover.

The proposed duration for the decommissioning operations on shore within the Padre Island National Seashore are expected not to exceed 5 working days with equipment and personnel limited to a 60- x 60-foot temporary workspace.

The applicant has stated that they would avoid and minimize environmental impacts by decommissioning the clean pipeline system in place, rather than removing it and causing disruption within the Gulf of Mexico water column and along the seafloor. The applicant has not proposed any form of mitigation.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2021-00708. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.

CMP Project No: 23-1319-F1

Applicant: Matagorda Bay Foundation

Location: The project site is located near Oliver Point, approximately 3 miles south-southwest of the City of Palacios at the confluence of Matagorda, Tres Palacios, and Coon Island Bays, in Matagorda County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 28.643259, -96.234927

Project Description: The applicant proposes to discharge a total of 85,626 cubic yards of fill material into approximately 30.4 acres of open water within Matagorda/ Tres Palacios/ Coon Island Bays below the mean high water (MHW) for the purposes of restoring a degraded oyster reef and installing shoreline protection near Oliver Point.

Specifically, the applicant proposes to discharge 37,390 cubic yards of armor stone and bedding stone within 7.2 acres to install 22 angled rows of oyster reef, each 300 feet long and spaced 120 feet apart. In addition, the applicant will place 13,317 cubic yards of cultch between the oyster reef rows for additional surface area for spat accumulation and to prevent scour at toes of reef rows, within 16.5 acres. The applicant will place approximately 34,919 cubic yards of armor and bedding stone within 6.7 acres for shoreline protection consisting of 25 breakwaters, each 250 feet long and spaced 25 feet apart. Shoreline protection will be installed approximately 500 feet from the existing shoreline in open water.

No wetlands will be filled and no SAV or oyster impacts are associated with this project. The breakwater and reef structures have been designed to minimize impacts to the greatest extent practicable. Remnant shell is expected as the survey site includes the footprint of the legacy reef and there is oyster habitat in areas outside of the project area. Wave energy influences the scattered shell that is in the project area, and that, along with the lack of larger material prohibits shell massing. The submerged portions of the proposed project (both reef rows and breakwaters) provide hard substrate suitable for oyster spat settlement. The proposed project will create 6.7 acres of hard rock surface area substrate and 16.5 acres of cultch surface area (both) below mean high water suitable for colonization by oysters and other sessile organisms.

The applicant does not propose mitigation compensation for this proposed project, as the breakwaters are a component of a living shoreline restoration activity, and the oyster reef restoration proposes to restore 23.7 acres of resource habitat and provide additional storm risk management benefits.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2023-00269. 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: 23-1327-F1

Applicant: City of LaPorte

Location: The project site is located in Galveston Bay, at Sylvan Beach Park, at 636 North Bayshore Drive, in LaPorte, in Harris and Chambers Counties, Texas. The fill material will be obtained from the Arcosa Rye Borrow Pit, located at 28125 Highway 146 North, in Cleveland, Texas 77327.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.652851, -95.008693

Project Description: The applicant proposes to discharge a total of 2,800 cubic yards of beach quality sand fill material over a total of 970 linear feet within Galveston Bay. The project components are separated into northern and southern cell. A total of 1,700 cubic yards of material will be placed in Galveston Bay to the maximum seaward extent from 5 to 80 feet at a 10:1 beach slope in the northern cell. The northern cell measures 490 feet along the shoreline by 75 feet wide and is bordered by two existing groins. A total of 1,100 cubic yards of material will be placed in Galveston Bay to the maximum seaward extent from 0 to 65 feet at a 10:1 beach slope in the southern cell. The southern cell measures 480 feet along the shoreline by 75 feet wide and is bordered by two existing groins. The fill material will be obtained from the Arcosa Rye Borrow Pit located at 28125 Highway 146, in Cleveland, Texas 77327.

The applicant has stated that they have avoided and minimized the environmental impacts by designing the project as the minimum necessary to accomplish the project purpose of restoring the eroded shoreline to its pre-Hurricane Harvey design, function, and capacity. Additional avoidance and minimization activities include proper storage of construction materials and equipment within the project work areas outside of waters of the US. The applicant has stated that construction activities would occur from the shoreline and the frequency and numbers of vehicles will be minimized and not staged overnight on the beach. Access to the construction area will be within designated ingress/egress routes that are clearly delineated. The applicant stated that turbidity at the construction site will be controlled by either a temporary wave break and/or silt curtain. The applicant does not propose to impact any special aquatic sites and therefore does not offer compensatory mitigation.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2003-00924. This application will be reviewed pursuant to 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.
