Subsequently, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department amended its application, which now seeks a discharge rate of wastewater from this facility of 5,000,000 gallons per day via Outfall 001. Other Changes in the amended application include: a proposed discharge that is continuous rather than intermittent: results of analysis from many more samples than were provided in the prior application; a new description of the effluent sampling for the effluent parameters; and a new list of raw materials used in the facility. The plant is located adjacent to Farm-to-Market (FM) Road 621 and approximately one mile east of the intersection of FM Road 621 and State Highway 123 in the City of San Marcos, Hays County, Texas.
