Notice of Public Meeting New Permit No. WQ0016247001

APPLICATION. Quadvest, L.P., 26926 Farm-to-Market Road 2978, Magnolia, Texas 77354, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016247001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 250,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on November 14, 2022.

The facility will be located approximately 2.8 miles south of the intersection of Betka Road and Cochran Road, in Waller County, Texas 77484. The treated effluent will be discharged via pipe to a detention pond and channel, thence to an unnamed tributary, thence to an unnamed impoundment, thence to Dodd Lake, thence to an unnamed tributary, thence to Harris Creek, thence to Irons Creek, thence to Brazos River Below Navasota River in Segment No. 1202 of the Brazos River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are limited aquatic life use for the detention pond and channel and for the unnamed tributary upstream of the unnamed impoundment, and high aquatic life use for the unnamed impoundment and Dodd Lake and for the unnamed tributary downstream of Dodd Lake. The designated uses for Segment No. 1202 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §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 the unnamed impoundment, Dodd Lake, and the unnamed tributary downstream of Dodd Lake, which have 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.
