Notice of a Public Meeting and Extension of Public Comment on a Proposed Renewal With Amendment of General Permit TXG870000 Authorizing the Discharge of Pesticides

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is proposing to renew and amend Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit TXG870000. This general permit authorizes the application of pesticides (including insecticides, nematicides, rodenticides, fungicides, and herbicides) into or over, including near, waters of the United States. The draft general permit applies to the entire state of Texas. This general permit is authorized by Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Chapter 26 of the Texas Water Code. The commission will hold a second hybrid in person and virtual public meeting on March 17, 2026, and extend the deadline for receipt of written comments on the proposed general permit due to agency error.

DRAFT GENERAL PERMIT. The executive director has prepared a draft pesticide general permit renewal with amendments and the pesticide use patterns covered under this permit include mosquito and other nuisance insect pests, vegetation and algae, nuisance animal, area-wide and forest canopy pest control. No significant degradation of high quality waters is expected and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The executive director proposes to require certain dischargers to submit a Notice of Intent to obtain authorization to discharge.

The executive director has reviewed this action for consistency with the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) according to General Land Office regulations and has determined that the action is consistent with applicable CMP goals and policies. On the date that the original notice was published, January 23, 2026, a copy of the draft general permit and fact sheet will be available for a minimum of 30 days for viewing and copying at the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk located at the TCEQ Austin office, at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building F. These documents will also be available at the TCEQ's 16 regional offices and on the TCEQ website at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/wastewater/general/index.html.

PUBLIC COMMENT/PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments about this general permit. In addition, the TCEQ will hold an additional public meeting on this proposed general permit. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit written or oral comments or to ask questions about the draft general permit. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

The second hybrid in-person and virtual public meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m., March 17, 2026 in TCEQ's complex at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building F, Room 2210, Austin, Texas 78753.

APPROVAL PROCESS. After the comment period, the executive director will consider all the public comments and prepare a written response. The response will be filed with the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at least ten days before the scheduled commission meeting when the commission will consider approval of the general permit. This commission meeting will be open to the public.

The commission will issue its written response on the general permit at the same time the commission issues or denies the general permit. A copy of any issued general permit and response to comments will be made available to the public for inspection at the agency's Austin office. A notice of the commissioners' action on the draft general permit and information on how to access the response to comments will be mailed to each person who submitted a comment.

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 February 16, 2026 to February 20, 2026. 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, February 27, 2026. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 29, 2026.

Federal Agency Activities:

Applicant: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6

Location: Corpus Christi Bay, Nueces and San Patricio County, Texas.

Project Description: Corpus Christi Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites Expansion Draft Environmental Assessment (EA). The purpose of the Proposed Action is to increase available capacity for ocean disposal of suitable dredged material (meeting the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Parts 220-228) from the Corpus Christi Ship Channels and vicinity. Historically, ocean disposal in the Corpus Christi area has been restricted to suitable maintenance dredged materials from federal dredging of the Entrance and Jetty Channels and the federally authorized Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project.

Modeling conducted by the USACE Galveston District since the approval of the CCSCIP showed future disposal capacity of the upland placement areas is limited and may not be available for non-federal dredging projects. In 2015, the USACE Galveston District requested that the EPA Region 6 modify the site use restrictions to make the ODMDSs available for disposal of suitable dredged material from the greater Corpus Christi vicinity, including non-federal dredging, but did not request the site be expanded. The USACE request was made based on the projected frequency of dredge events and projected dredge volumes from federal dredging at that time and did not include an increased demand associated with large, private development projects that are currently planned in the area.

Type of Application: EPA Draft EA on The Proposed Modification for Expansion of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and Corpus Christi New Work Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites, Nueces and San Patricio Counties, Texas and Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact.

CMP Project No: 26-1090-F2

Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: Clayton Brashear

Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with the Laguna Madre, in South Padre Island, Cameron County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 26.133207, -97.172538

Project Description: Improve navigation safety and maneuverability within an existing marina channel. The applicant requests authorization to reconfigure the bulkhead located at the terminus of an existing channel. Approximately 578 linear feet of vinyl sheet pile would be installed in a rectangular configuration. In areas where the existing concrete bulkhead and new vinyl sheet pile overlap, one existing wall panel would be removed, and any gaps would be sealed with plywood to eliminate seepage. Approximately 1,897 cubic yards of material would be excavated from 10,246 square feet of uplands located behind the existing bulkhead. Excavation would occur to a depth of approximately 4 feet mean high water. Approximately 778 cubic yards of excavated material would be deposited within 3,818 square feet of waters of the US as backfill behind the vinyl sheet pile. The remaining excavated material would be distributed within the upland property. Once excavation and backfill activities are complete, the existing concrete bulkhead would be removed.

The applicant has provided the following explanation why compensatory mitigation should not be required: Due to the minor nature of impacts, no compensatory mitigation is proposed.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2025-00664. This application will be reviewed pursuant 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 Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 26-1086-F1

Further information on the applications listed above, including a copy of the consistency certifications or consistency determinations for inspection, may be obtained from the Texas General Land Office Public Information Officer at 1700 N. Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, or via email at pialegal@glo.texas.gov.
