APPLICATION. South Central Water Company, P.O. Box 570177, Houston, Texas 77257-0177, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a new permit, proposed Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0014833001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 750,000 gallons per day. The facility will be located approximately 1.25 miles north of the intersection of Old 71 and Highway 71 in Bastrop County, Texas. The treated effluent will be discharged to Moss Branch; thence to Dry Creek; thence to the Colorado River Below Town Lake in Segment No. 1428 of the Colorado River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are high aquatic life uses for Moss Branch and Dry Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 1428 are exceptional aquatic life uses, public water supply and contact recreation. In accordance with §307.5 and the TCEQ implementation procedures (January 2003) for the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards, 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 Segment 1428, which has been identified as having high aquatic life use. 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 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.

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. During the Informal Discussion Period, the public is encouraged to ask questions of the applicant and TCEQ staff concerning the application and the Executive Director's preliminary decision, but these informal comments made during the informal period will not be considered by the Commissioners before reaching a decision on the permit and no formal response will be made.
