APPLICATION Waste Management of Texas, Inc., has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a permit to amend the existing permit (MSW 523-A) by expanding vertically from an elevation of 773 feet mean sea level (ft-msl) to an elevation of 916 ft- msl, an increase in height of 143 feet. The facility is located approximately 2 1/2 miles southeast of the intersection of State Highway 11 (SH-11) and Farm to Market (FM) Road 1417 and mile east of SH-11 on the south side of Nelson Road, in Grayson County, Texas. This application was submitted to the TCEQ on March 14, 2002.

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 to issue this draft permit. The permit application, executive director's preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at the City of Sherman Public Library at 421 North Travis in the City of Sherman, Texas, in Grayson County.

MAILING LISTS. You may ask to be placed on a mailing list to obtain additional information regarding this application by sending a request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. You may also ask to be on a county-wide mailing list to receive public notices for TCEQ permits in the county.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comment or to ask questions about the application.
