Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services

Correction of Error

The Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services proposed the repeal of 40 TAC §§101.401, 101.403, 101.405, 101.407, and 101.409 in the September 4, 2026, issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 6158). Due to an error by the Texas Register, text was omitted from the first paragraph in the BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE information in the preamble of the proposed repeal.

The first paragraph of the BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE section should read as follows:

The State Independent Living Council (SILC) was created as a result of the Rehabilitation Act (Act) in Title 29 United States Code Section 796d. The Act requires Texas to maintain a SILC. Rules for the SILC were originally adopted in 1993 in accordance with Senate Bill 383, 73rd Legislature, Regular Session, which required state agencies to outline in rule the committees and councils which advise the state.

Defendants filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for Reorganization of Ascend Performance Materials Holdings Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliate. The State of Texas (the "State") filed its Original Petition for violations of the Texas Clean Air Act, the Texas Water Code, and the Texas Health and Safety Code. The State documented environmental violations, consisting of eight unauthorized wastewater discharges, failure to provide wastewater records, three emissions exceedances, failures to conduct annual and initial monitoring, failure to report deviations, and failure to conduct monitoring in multiple units operated under its permits. The State, its bankruptcy division, and the Defendants have reached a settlement agreement to distribute pursuant to Defendants Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Plan.

Proposed Settlement: The State and Defendants propose an Agreed Final Judgment that awards the State the following monetary judgments against the Defendants: $700,000.00 in civil penalties and $15,000.00 in attorney's fees to the State.

For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the Agreed Final Judgment should be reviewed in its entirety.

Texas Water Code and Texas Health and Safety Code Settlement Notice

Notice is hereby given by the State of Texas of the following proposed resolution of an environmental enforcement action under the Texas Water Code and the Texas Health and Safety Code. Before the State may enter into a voluntary settlement agreement, pursuant to section 7.110 of the Texas Water Code, the State shall permit the public to comment in writing on the proposed judgment. The Attorney General will consider any written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed agreed judgment if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Texas Water Code.

Case Title and Court: Harris County, Texas, and the State of Texas, acting by and through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, a Necessary and Indispensable Party v. TransCo Ready Mix, LLC; Cause No. 2025-87852, in the 269th Judicial District, Harris County, Texas.

Nature of the Suit: TransCo Ready Mix, LLC owns and operates a concrete batch plant located at 5325 Barker Cypress Road, Houston, Texas 77084 (the "Facility"). The Facility operates under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") Concrete Batch Plant Standard Permit and Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("TPDES") General Permit. Over the course of four investigations conducted from May 23, 2024 to October 3, 2025, Harris County Pollution Control Services Department investigators documented violations of the Texas Clean Air Act, the Texas Water Code, and rules promulgated by the TCEQ including: failure to control the dust emissions and maintain adequate dust control efficiency; failure to produce Discharge Monitoring Reports and analytical results; failure to maintain and produce monitoring records for on-site review; and failure to comply with the TPDES Permit. The State of Texas, on behalf of TCEQ, joined the suit as a necessary and indispensable party.

Proposed Settlement: The proposed Agreed Final Judgment assesses against the Defendant civil penalties in the amount of $45,000.00 in civil penalties and $5,000.00 in attorney's fees, with each amount to be split evenly between Harris County and the State. Since the Site has ceased operations, there is no continuing conduct to enjoin; therefore, injunctive relief is not required.

For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete proposed Agreed Final Judgment should be reviewed. Requests for copies of the judgment, and written comments on the proposed settlement, should be directed to Avery Yu, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General, P.O. Box 12548, MC 066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, phone (512) 463-2012, facsimile (512) 320-0911, or email: avery.yu@oag.texas.gov.

Deputy Director, Litigation Division

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

Filed: September 8, 2026

Combined Notice of Public Meeting and Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain a Water Quality Permit (NORI) and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Industrial Wastewater (NAPD) Renewal Permit No. WQ0002436000

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Formosa Plastics Corporation, Texas and Formosa Utility Venture, Ltd., P.O. Box 700, Point Comfort, Texas 77978, which operates the Formosa Point Comfort Plant, a plastics and organic and inorganic chemicals manufacturing facility has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0002436000 which authorizes the discharge of remediated groundwater, fire water, and treated previously monitored effluents (via Outfalls 101 and 201) at a daily average flow not to exceed 9,700,000 gallons per day via Outfall 001; treated process wastewater, equipment/facility washdown, stormwater, firewater, and utility wastewaters (including pretreated sanitary wastewaters) at a daily average flow not to exceed 4,400,000 gallons per day via internal Outfall 101; treated and combined Ion Exchange Membrane (IEM) wastewater streams, utility wastewaters (including pretreated sanitary wastewaters), equipment/facility washdown, stormwater, fire water, and water treatment wastewaters on a continuous and flow-variable basis via internal Outfall 201; cooling tower blowdown on an intermittent and flow-variable basis via Outfall 901; non-process area stormwater, hydrostatic test water, fire water, non-contact steam condensate, non-contact wash water, potable water, and air conditioner unit condensate on an intermittent and flow-variable basis via Outfalls 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, and 012; and non- process area stormwater, hydrostatic test water, fire water, non-contact steam condensate, non-contact wash water, potable water, air conditioner unit condensate, and ash truck wash water condensate on an intermittent and flow-variable basis via Outfall 013.

The draft permit authorizes the discharge of remediated groundwater, fire water, and treated previously monitored effluents (via Outfalls 101 and 201) at a daily average flow not to exceed 9,700,000 gallons per day via Outfall 001; treated process wastewater, equipment/facility washdown, stormwater, fire water, and utility wastewaters (including pretreated sanitary wastewaters) at a daily average flow not to exceed 6,000,000 gallons per day via Outfall 101; treated and combined Ion Exchange Membrane (IEM) wastewater streams, utility wastewaters (including pretreated sanitary wastewaters), equipment/facility washdown, stormwater, fire water, and water treatment wastes on a continuous and flow-variable basis via Outfall 201; cooling tower blowdown, cooling water filter backwash, and non-process area stormwater on an intermittent and flow- variable basis via Outfall 901 (to the ALCOA mud pits for dust suppression); non-process area stormwater, hydrostatic test water, fire water, non-contact condensate, non-contact wash water, potable water, and air conditioner unit condensate on an intermittent and flow-variable basis via Outfalls 003, 005, 006, 009, 010, 011, 012, and 013. The TCEQ received this application on July 8, 2019.

PURPOSE OF COMBINED NOTICE: This combined notice is being issued because the original NORI listed the permit action as a major amendment. The applicant has withdrawn the major amendment request to authorize the discharge of stormwater on an intermittent and flow-variable basis via new Outfall 014. Based on the withdrawal of the lone major amendment request, and the remaining amendment requests are classified as minor amendments, the application is reclassified as a renewal application. Additionally, the previously combined NORI-NAPD stated the public viewing location of the permit application, Executive Director's Preliminary Decision, and Draft Permit in Calhoun County as Point Comfort Public Library, Lamar Street, Point Comfort, in Calhoun County, Texas. The correct public viewing location in Calhoun County is Port Lavaca Public Library, 200 W Mahan Street, Port Lavaca, in Calhoun County, Texas.

The facility is located at 201 Formosa Drive, one-mile north of the intersection of State Highway 35 and Farm- to-Market Road 1593, northeast of the City of Point Comfort, in Calhoun County, Texas 77978. 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. https://gisweb.tceq.texas.gov/LocationMapper/?marker=-96.55155,28.692753&level=18.

The effluent is discharged via Outfall 001 directly to Lavaca Bay/Chocolate Bay in Segment No. 2453; via Outfalls 003 and 012 to unnamed ditches, thence to Cox Lake, thence to Cox Creek, thence to Huisache Cove; via Outfalls 005, 006, and 009 to Cox Lake, thence to Cox Creek, thence to Huisache Cove; via Outfall 010 to unnamed ditches, thence to Cox Lake, thence to Cox Creek; thence to Huisache Cove which is a part of Cox Bay in Segment No. 2454; via Outfall 011 to an unnamed ditch, thence to Cox Bay in Segment No. 2454; and via Outfall 013 directly to Cox Bay in Segment No. 2454 of the Bays and Estuaries. The unclassified receiving water uses are minimal aquatic life use for the unnamed ditches and high aquatic life use for Cox Lake and Cox Creek (tidal). The designated uses for Segment Nos. 2453 and 2454 are primary contact recreation, exceptional aquatic life use, and oyster waters.

In accordance with Title 30 Texas Administrative Code Section 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 Cox Lake, which has been identified as having a high aquatic life use, as well as Lavaca Bay / Chocolate Bay and Cox Bay, which have been identified as having exceptional aquatic life uses, respectively. Existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received.

The TCEQ Executive Director reviewed this action for consistency with the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) goals and policies in accordance with the regulations of the General Land Office and has determined that the action is consistent with the applicable CMP goals and policies.

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 Port Lavaca Public Library, 200 W Mahan Street, Port Lavaca, in Calhoun County, Texas and Jackson County Public Library, 411 North Wells Street, Room 121, Edna, in Jackson County, Texas.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. 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:

Monday, October 19, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.

Bauer Community Center

2300 State Hwy 35 North

Port Lavaca, Texas 77979

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 public comments, the Executive Director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. The response to comments, along with the Executive Director's decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or who requested to be on a 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 a timely 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 requests 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 added to: (1) the permanent list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and 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 of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Municipal Solid Waste Permit Amendment Proposed Permit No. 1725A

Application. City of Uvalde has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a permit amendment to authorize the existing City of Uvalde Landfill to increase the permitted boundary area from 57.5 acres to 125.47 acres. This increased permitted area will allow for a horizontal and vertical expansion of waste limits and an increased site life of approximately 145 years. The facility is proposed to be located at 3774 FM 481, Uvalde, 78801, in Uvalde County, Texas. TCEQ received this application on July 15, 2026. The following link to an electronic map of the general location of the site or facility is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice: https://arcg.is/1finfP2. For the exact location, refer to the application. The permit application is available for viewing and copying at Uvalde City Hall, 101 East Main Street, Uvalde, Texas 78801. The application, including any updates and notices, is available electronically at the following webpage: www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/wasteapps.

Alternative Language Notice / Aviso en idioma alternativo. Alternative language notice in Spanish is available at www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/wasteapps. El aviso en idioma alternativo en español está disponible en www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/wasteapps.

Additional Notice. TCEQ's Executive Director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. After technical review of the application is complete, the Executive Director may prepare a draft permit and will issue a preliminary decision on the application. Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the county-wide mailing list and to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the deadline for submitting public comments.

Public Comment / Public Meeting. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

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 and the Executive Director's decision on the application 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 reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A person who may be affected by the facility is entitled to request a contested case hearing from the commission. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court.

To Request a Contested Case Hearing, You Must Include the Following Items in Your Request: Your name, address, phone number; the applicant's name and permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the 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 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 that are relevant and material to the Commission's decision on the application submitted during the comment period.

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 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. 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.
