The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities announces its intention to award grant funds to the Arc of Texas to continue activities to provide training and technical assistance to parents and school personnel concerning best practice strategies and approaches for including students with disabilities in regular education classrooms with necessary supports.

Background: The Council funded the Arc of Texas project for five years ending in September 1997. Arc of Texas coordinated the Inclusion Works Conference as part of the grant and has continued the conference since the grant concluded. Recent conferences have drawn 1200 to 1800 participants, primarily teachers and school administrators.

Description of Project: The Arc of Texas' Inclusion Works Conference will provide participants with learning experiences designed to increase their ability to ensure that students with disabilities and other diverse learners are involved in and making progress in the general curriculum, and improve their skills in planning and collaboration. This proposal builds on the existing expertise and statewide reputation of the Arc of Texas Inclusion Works Conference by adding local and regional training activities to expand the impact of the event to parents and families often unable to attend. This proposal also adds components that allow web-based learning and instruction and satellite interactive training methods.

Terms and Funds: Funding for this grant will be made available in three one-year grant awards beginning July 1, 2001. The final grant year will end June 30, 2004. Estimated funding will not exceed $150,000 per year for each of the three grant awards. Continuation funding for years two and three will be contingent upon satisfactory annual review of performance and submission of approved continuation funding workplans. The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities reserves the right to discontinue funding if grant performance criteria are not met or funds are not available due to changes in Council grant funding priorities.

Information: For information regarding this announcement, please contact Carl Risinger, Grants Management Director, and Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities, (512) 424-4084.

In the May 18, 2001, issue of the Texas Register , the Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) proposed an amendment to §20.112 concerning attendant compensation rate enhancement, in its Cost Determination Process chapter. The purpose of the proposal is to clarify the definition of "attendant", add the Deaf-Blind Multiple Disabilities waiver program, and clarify the enrollment process. The amendment also revises the enrollment process to allow enrollments to "roll over" unchanged to the following year, unless the provider changes its enrollment status during the open enrollment period and revises the procedures for enrolling new facilities. The proposal states that if a provider fails to submit an accountability report within 60 calendar days following the imposition of the vendor hold, the provider will become a nonparticipant in the enhancement rate program. The ineligibility will continue until the report is submitted and recoupments (if any) are made. Detail was added to the description of the calculation of the attendant compensation rate component to better describe the actual calculation. The proposal clarifies that, when a provider serves clients in both the Residential Care and the Community Based Alternatives Assisted Living/Residential Care program in a single facility, the spending requirement is determined for both programs together and not separately. The proposal also clarifies the effective date for contractors who voluntarily withdraw contracts from being participants or requests to reduce the enhancement levels and clarifies the group or individual status of a provider that acquires a participating contract through a contract assignment.

For further information regarding the proposal or to make the proposal available for public review, contact local offices of DHS or Alisa Jacquet at (512) 438-4952 in DHS's Rate Analysis Department.

After the public comment period, TNRCC staff may revise the implementation plan, if appropriate. The final implementation plan will then be considered for approval by the commission. Upon approval of the implementation plan by the commission, the final implementation plan and a response to public comments will be made available on the TNRCC web site at http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/water/quality/tmdl .

Director, Litigation Division

Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission

Filed: May 15, 2001

The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) is issuing a public Notice of Intent to Delete (delist) the Thompson Hayward Chemical Company Proposed State Superfund Site (the Site) from the State Registry, the list of State Superfund sites which may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment. TNRCC is proposing this delisting because the Site has been accepted into the Voluntary Cleanup Program.

The Site, including all land, structures, appurtenances, and other improvements, is approximately 4.74 acres, located at U.S. Route 277 South, in Munday, Knox County, Texas. The Site also includes any areas where hazardous substance(s) have come to be located as a result, either directly or indirectly, of releases of hazardous substance(s) from the Site.

From the mid-1950s through the 1960s, the Site was used as a small-scale pesticide formulation and distribution facility. Structures on the site include metal, brick and wood buildings, three pesticide mixing pits, concrete foundations and a railroad spur. Commercial operations began in 1957 with the formulation and distribution of pesticides. Dry pesticide formulations and blending of liquid pesticides were accomplished in separate pits inside the metal and brick buildings, respectively. Arsenic and organochlorine pesticides have been found at the site.

The Site has been accepted into the TNRCC Voluntary Cleanup Program and is, therefore, eligible for deletion from the State Registry as provided by 30 TAC §335.344(c).

T H Agriculture & Nutrition, L.L.C. (THAN) conducted a Remedial Investigation and prepared a Response Action Plan (RAP) under an Agreed Administrative Order with the TNRCC. Response Actions were developed for soil, debris, and shallow groundwater. THAN plans to remediate the Site under the Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP) Remedy Standard B based on a commercial/industrial land use designation.

The Response Action described in the RAP consists of excavation and disposal of all soils contaminated with arsenic and organochlorine pesticides at concentration exceeding the TRRP Protective Concentration Limits established for the site. Miscellaneous debris will also be excavated and disposed at an appropriate permitted offsite permitted facility. The RAP describes how a deed notice will be filed with the real property records of Knox County to the effect that the site be restricted to commercial/industrial uses. The RAP also includes groundwater monitoring and restrictions on the use of the shallow groundwater. The Response Action described in the RAP will be conducted under the TNRCC Voluntary Cleanup Program.

As per 30 TAC §335.344(b), the TNRCC will hold a public meeting to receive comment on this proposed deletion. This meeting will not be a contested case hearing within the meaning of Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001. The meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 26, 2001, at the TNRCC offices, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building C, Room 131E, and will consist of two parts: an informal discussion period and a formal comment period.

All persons desiring to make comments regarding the proposed deletion of the Site may do so prior to or at the public meeting. All comments submitted prior to the public meeting must be received by 5:00 p.m., June 26, 2001 and should be sent to Jeffrey E. Patterson, TNRCC, Superfund Cleanup Section, Remediation Division, MC-143, P. O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087. For further information, please contact Mr. Patterson at (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-2489.

A portion of the record for the Site, including documents pertinent to the executive director's proposed delisting, are available for review during regular business hours at the City-County Library, 121 East B Street, Munday, Texas 76371, (940) 422-4877. The complete public file may be obtained during regular business hours at TNRCC's Records Management Center, Building D, North Entrance, Room 190, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, telephone number (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-2920. Fees are charged for photocopying file information.

Persons with disabilities who have special communication or other accommodation needs who are planning to attend the meeting should contact the agency at (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-2463. Requests should be made as far in advance as possible.
