U.S.C.A. §1344). Note: The consistency review for this project may be
conducted by the Texas Railroad Commission under §401 of the Clean Water
Act.
Applicant: Port of Houston Authority
; Location:
The project is located on Barbours Cut, along Galveston Bay, in Harris County,
Texas. The project can be located on the U.S.G.S. quadrangle map entitled:
La Porte, Texas. Approximate UTM Coordinates in NAD 27 (meters): Zone 15;

Applicant: Kahala Development, L.L.C.
; Location:
The project is located adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico, immediately southwest
of the Eight Mile Road and FM 3005 intersection in Galveston, Galveston County,
Texas. The proposed project and mitigation sites can be located on the U.S.G.S.
quadrangle entitled: Lake Como, Texas. Approximate UTM Coordinates in NAD
27 (meters) for the project site are: Zone 15; Easting: 316507; Northing:
3235193; mitigation site: Zone 15; Easting: 310284; Northing: 3232004. Project
Description: The applicant proposes to retain approximately 0.96 acres of
fill in adjacent coastal dune swale wetlands and place new fill into approximately
6.64 acres of adjacent coastal dune swale wetlands for the purpose of constructing
a single-family residential development, a small commercial retail development,
roadways, other needed infrastructure and green space. The applicant has stated
that the proposed development meets the criteria for a Traditional Neighborhood
Development (TND). The objective of a TND is to provide a small self-sufficient
community that encourages walking and bicycling over the use of automobiles.
The proposed project will result in a total discharge of approximately 22,400
cubic yards of permanent fill within a total of 7.6 acres of jurisdictional
wetlands. The project consists of two phases, Phase I and Phase II. A portion
of the Phase I development has already been completed. The applicant proposes
to avoid, restore or create 3.6 acres of jurisdictional wetlands on site and
to enhance approximately 12.86 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and create
12.46 acres of jurisdictional wetlands at the off site mitigation location.
Additionally, the applicant proposes to create a total of 5.54 acres of upland
prairie habitat and 4.6 acres of upland live oak habitat at the proposed off
site mitigation location. The applicant proposes to preserve the entire 50
acre off site mitigation area. This project was initially placed on public
notice by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Galveston District, on
30 April 2004 under Permit Application Number 23282. However, during the review
process, a determination was made that unauthorized fill material had been
discharged on the site in violation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Permit Application Number 23282 was subsequently withdrawn on 21 May 2004.
The violation resulted in an investigation, which led to a voluntary settlement
agreement between the Corps and Kahala Development, LLC, which was executed
on 16 September 2004. Kahala Development LLC has met all of the settlement
agreement provisions. The wetland acreage for the project area was verified
by the Corps on 10 December 2003 (file number D-14079/03). The proposed off
site mitigation area is currently being reviewed for verification by the Corps
(File number D-10779/03); however, a final delineation verification has not
been completed. Additionally, the proposed off-site mitigation area is currently
permitted as Disposal Maintenance Placement Area (DMPA) "D" for Department
of the Army (DA) permit 17800 and all of its amendments. DA permit 17800(12)
is currently on Public Notice for proposed amendments. One of the proposed
amendments is to remove DMPA "D" from the permit. CCC Project No.: 06-0106-F1;
Type of Application: U.S.A.C.E. permit application #23756 is being evaluated
under §404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §1344). Note: The
consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality under §401 of the Clean Water Act.
Pursuant to §306(d)(14) of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972
(16 U.S.C.A. §§1451-1464), as amended, interested parties are invited
to submit comments on whether a proposed action is or is not consistent with
the Texas Coastal Management Program goals and policies and whether the action
should be referred to the Coastal Coordination Council for review.
Further information on the applications listed above may be obtained from

Description. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is notifying assessment publishers
that proficiency assessments and/or achievement tests may be submitted for
review for the
List of State Approved Tests for the
Assessment of Limited English Proficient Students
. Texas Education
Code (TEC), §29.056(a)(2), authorizes TEA to compile a list of approved
assessments for the purposes of identifying students as limited English proficient
for entry into or exit from bilingual education and/or special language programs;
annually assessing oral language proficiency in English and Spanish; and measuring
reading and writing proficiency in English and Spanish for program placement.
The state- approved tests placed on the list must be based on scientific research
and must measure oral language proficiency in listening and speaking in English
and Spanish from Prekindergarten (PK) to Grade 12. Assessments must also measure
reading and writing in English and Spanish from PK to Grade 12. Reading and
writing assessments indicate placement in the bilingual/English as a Second
Language (ESL) program and are not for entry purposes.
Norm-referenced standardized achievement tests in English will be used
for identification, entry into and exit from programs and may be used for
formative assessments.
Norm-referenced standardized achievement tests in Spanish may be used for
placement purposes only. All tests to be included on the
List of State Approved Tests for the Assessment of Limited English Proficient
Students
must be re-normed every six years to meet the criteria specified
in TEC, §39.032, which requires that standardization norms not be more
than six years old at the time the test is administered. The 2006-2007
The Assessment Committee, comprised of educators from throughout the state
and TEA staff, will review and approve the 2006 - 2007
List of State Approved Tests for Assessment of Limited English Proficient
Students
. The Assessment Committee may choose to change the criteria
and/or effective dates at a future time.
Selection Criteria. Assessment publishers will be responsible for submitting
tests that they wish to be reviewed for consideration for inclusion on the
2006-2007
List of State Approved Tests for Assessment
of Limited English Proficient Students
. All tests submitted for review
must be based on scientific research and must measure oral language proficiency
in listening and speaking in English and Spanish from PK to Grade 12. Assessments
must measure reading and writing in English and Spanish from PK to Grade 12
and must meet the state criteria for reliability and validity. Therefore,
technical manuals must also be submitted. Assessments must also measure specific
proficiency levels in oral language, reading, and writing in both English
and Spanish. Assessment instruments (English and Spanish) submitted for review
will be grouped in the following categories: (1) Oral Language Proficiency
Tests in English in Listening and Speaking domains; (2) Oral Language Proficiency
Tests in Spanish in Listening and Speaking domains; (3) Reading and Writing
Proficiency in English; (4) Reading and Writing Proficiency in Spanish; and
(5) Ability Tests/Gifted and Talented. Publishers are not required to submit
proposals for all categories.
Proposals must be submitted and presented on January 23, 2006, to be considered
for inclusion on the
List of State Approved Tests
for the Assessment of Limited English Proficient Students
. Assessment
publishers will be required to attend the review of the assessments on January
23, 2006, which will be held at the William B. Travis Building, Room 1-111,
1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas. Complete official sample copies
with comprehensive explanations and technical manuals must be presented at

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is required under
the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act (the Act), Texas Health and Safety Code,
Chapter 361, to annually publish a state registry that identifies facilities
that 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. The most recent registry listing of these
facilities was published in the April 29, 2005, issue of the
Texas Register
(30 TexReg 2583). This notice was also published on
January 5, 2006, in the
Colorado City Record
.
In accordance with the Act, §361.184(a), the TCEQ must publish a notice
of intent to list a facility on the state registry of Superfund sites in the
This notice also specifies the general nature of the potential endangerment
to public health and safety or the environment as determined by information
currently available to the TCEQ.
The facility is located in Colorado City, Mitchell County, Texas. The geographic
coordinates of the facility are latitude 32 degrees 24 minutes 41.81 seconds,
longitude 100 degrees 51 minutes 59.84 seconds. The description of the facility
is based on information available at the time the facility was evaluated with
the Hazard Ranking System (HRS). The HRS is the principal screening guide
used by the TCEQ to evaluate potential, relative risk to public health and
the environment from releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances.
The facility description may change as additional information is gathered
on the sources and extent of contamination.
The facility is located near the intersection of Interstate Highway 20
and State Highway 208. The facility is 49.1 acres in size. The company operated
on 9.1 acres of property and the additional 40 acres were used for irrigation
with wastewater generated during its operation. The operating area consists
of two storage buildings, a small office with weigh station, process building,
two acid tanks, and two surface impoundments. The facility operated a wet
acid cotton seed delinting process to provide seed for planting from 1965
to 1983. The facility incorporated areas for receiving, storing, delinting,
applying chemicals, and shipping of cottonseed. The delinting process utilized
concentrated sulfuric acid to dissolve cotton fibers from the seed. Used acid
and rinse waters containing the decomposing fibers were discharged from the
process area to a sump through an underground clay pipe into one of the two
surface impoundments north of the facility. The wastewater in the larger impoundment
was documented to have a pH of <1. Seeds were treated with pesticide or
fungicide prior to packing. The TCEQ installed a security fence around the
surface impoundments and all the buildings in January 2005. TCEQ also removed
a contaminated soil pile, drums, and containers in February and March of 2005.
A public meeting will be held on February 9, 2006, 7:00 p.m., at the Colorado
City Civic Center, 157 West 2nd Street, Colorado City, Texas. The purpose
of this meeting is to obtain additional information regarding the facility
relative to its eligibility for listing on the state registry, identify additional
potentially responsible parties, and obtain public input and information regarding
the appropriate use of land on which the facility is located. The public meeting
will be legislative in nature and is not a contested case hearing under the
Administrative Procedure Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001.
All persons desiring to make comments may do so prior to or at the public
meeting. All comments submitted prior to the public meeting must be received
by 5:00 February 8, 2006, and should be sent in writing to Mr. Zebao Li, Project

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), under 30 TAC Chapter
116, requests public comment concerning a proposed amendment to the "List
of
De Minimis
Facilities or Sources" authorized
by §116.119.
The TCEQ received a request to amend the "List of
De Minimis
Facilities or Sources" by adding: "A fumigation facility
complying with all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act requirements including but not limited to the
labeling requirements for each specific fumigant used at the site. Any fumigant
used at the facility must be registered by the EPA and the Texas Department
of Agriculture, Texas Structural Pest Control Board, or Texas Department of
State Health Services, as appropriate, prior to use." Section 116.119(c)(1)
allows for amendments to the "List of
De Minimis
Facilities or Sources" by the executive director for facilities or
sources considered to be
de minimis
. If added
to the "List of
De Minimis
Facilities or Sources,"
the specified facilities or sources are no longer required to obtain authorization
from the TCEQ prior to construction. Therefore, the previous category of fumigation
facilities, complying with all federal and state requirements, is proposed
to be a
de minimis
facility or source.
The addition or deletion of a category of facilities, sources, or groups
of facilities or sources to the "List of
De Minimis
Facilities or Sources" is subject to the procedural requirements of
116.119, which include a 30-day public comment period. The "List of
