The purpose of a federal operating permit is to improve overall compliance with the rules governing air pollution control by clearly listing all applicable requirements, as defined in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC) §122.10. The permit will not authorize new construction or new emissions.
Notice and Comment Hearing. The hearing will be structured for the receipt of oral or written comments by interested persons.

During the informal discussion period, the public is encouraged to ask questions and engage in open discussion with the applicant and the TCEQ staff concerning this application and draft permit.

A five-minute time limit may be established at the hearing to assure that enough time is allowed for every interested person to speak. There will be no open discussion during the hearing; however, commission staff members will be available to discuss the proposal and answer questions after the hearing. The purpose of this hearing will be to receive formal public comment which the TCEQ will consider in determining whether to revise and/or issue the permit and in determining the accuracy and completeness of the permit.

Project Description: The applicant proposes to discharge 31,301 cubic yards of concrete riprap fill material into 6.28 acres of shallow water habitat in the GIWW for the construction of a breakwater in 12 segments for the minimization of shoreline erosion. The breakwaters will have a 2:1 vertical slope and crest elevation of 3.0 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Riprap will be clean and free of hazardous materials and may include limestone and granite. Fish passages will be incorporated every 500 linear feet and span 30-foot-wide to minimize impacts to near-shore fish and invertebrate movements.
The applicant has stated that they have avoided and minimized the environmental impacts by using clean rock material and employing construction best management practices, including gentle rock placement methods, to limit turbidity in the water column. Breakwater placements are situated in a manner to avoid known oyster reefs. A Shallow Water Access Plan will be implemented to avoid and minimize impacts to Waters of the United States. Mitigation is not proposed.
The project site consists of the shallow, open bay bottoms of the GIWW along a section that is bordered by the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge. The shoreline has experienced heavy erosion due to wave and wind action that has resulted in coastal marsh degradation and loss. There are no special aquatic sites within the project footprint.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2023-00077. 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.

Latitude and Longitude: 27.956268, -97.105689
Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct a 68-lot subdivision with homesites, two marinas (Community Marina A and Community Marina B), and finger piers for boat slips. The proposed subdivision road for the subdivision would be approximately 24-foot-wide with all utilities installed in upland areas.
Community Marina A (220-foot-long by 95-foot-wide) would be dry excavated to accommodate 26 small boat slips with 13 finger piers to a fixed accessed deck. Community Marina A would be created by excavating approximately 9,000 cubic yards of uplands and would be approximately mean lower low water -5 feet. The excavated material will be spread into uplands within the review area. Proposed seawalls would be connected to the existing ones. The northern seawall would be approximately 675 linear feet. The fixed pier system would be approximately 8-foot-wide, and the finger piers would be approximately 3-foot-wide. The finger piers would be supported by 66, 10-inch pilings and would create 26 boat slips. Boat lifts would be constructed and supported by 78, 8-inch pilings (144 pilings total).
Approximately 100 cubic yards of material would be dredged from the opening of the proposed Community Marina A to connect it to the channel to Aransas Bay. The dredged material would be placed on-site on lots 50-52.
Community Marina B would be located at the existing boat ramp and would include a fixed pier system with 18 boat slips with 10 finger piers. The fixed pier system would be approximately 8-foot-wide, and the finger piers would be approximately 3-foot-wide. The finger piers would be supported by 50, 10-inch pilings and would create 26 boat slips. Boat lifts would be constructed and supported by 54, 8-inch pilings (104 pilings total). No mitigation is proposed.

Project Description: The applicant proposes to permanently discharge 6,080 cubic yards of fill material into 0.75 acre of waters of the U.S. for erosion control and the development of three residential lots. Specifically, 5,510 cubic yards of clean earthen fill will be discharged into 0.75 acre herbaceous shrub wetlands for residential lot development and 570 cubic yards of rock riprap will be discharged into 0.007 acre of shallow water habitat of the GIWW for erosion control and shoreline protection.
The applicant proposed to mitigate for the proposed impacts by purchasing the appropriate number of functional credit units for herbaceous shrub wetlands from the Gulf Coastal Plains Mitigation Bank.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to seek comments from the public on its estimate and methodology for determining the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program caseload reduction credit for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2024. HHSC will base the methodology on caseload reduction occurring from FFY 2005 to FFY 2023. This methodology and the resulting estimated caseload reduction credit will be submitted for approval to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families.
Section 407(b)(3) of the Social Security Act provides for a TANF caseload reduction credit, which gives a state credit for reducing its TANF caseload between a base year and a comparison year. To receive the credit, a state must complete and submit a report that, among other things, describes the methodology and the supporting data that the state used to calculate its caseload reduction estimates. See 45 C.F.R. §261.41(b)(5). Prior to submitting the report, the state must provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the estimate and methodology. See 45 C.F.R. §261.41(b)(6).
As the state agency that administers the TANF program in Texas, HHSC believes it is eligible for a caseload reduction credit and has developed the requisite estimate and methodology. HHSC hereby notifies the public of the opportunity to submit comments.
HHSC will post the methodology and the estimated caseload reduction credit on the HHSC website for FFY 2024 at https://hhs.texas.gov/about-hhs/records-statistics/data-statistics/temporary-assistance-needy-families-tanf-statistics by November 24, 2023.
