on the U.S.G.S. quadrangle maps entitled: Galveston, Flake, Caplen, Frozen
Point, and High Island, Texas. Approximate UTM Coordinates in NAD 27 (meters)
west end: Zone 15; Easting: 327683; Northing: 3249490. Approximate UTM Coordinates
in NAD 27 (meters) east end: Zone 15; Easting: 365320; Northing: 3269659.
Project Description: The applicant proposes to conduct maintenance excavation
within 23 outfall channels and several roadside ditches along and perpendicular
to SH 87. The project will impact 4.87 acres of wetlands and other waters
of the U. S., comprised of 3.98 acres of wetlands and 0.98 acre of open water.
The wetlands impacted include roadside ditches dominated by facultative wetland
species to brackish marsh dominated by sea-oxeye daisy (Borrichia frutescens),
marshhay cordgrass (Spartina patens), salt grass (Distichlis spicata), and
glasswort (Salicornia virginica). The proposed typical cross section of the
outfall channels is a 6-foot bottom width channel approximately 2 feet in
depth with 3:1 slopes. Work will be accomplished by excavating the channels
and ditches from mats when necessary utilizing a backhoe within a 30-foot-wide
easement. All excavated material will be hauled to an upland site for placement.
The upland placement site has not been identified; however, the applicant
will be required to specify placement area(s) and have them approved prior
to beginning construction. The applicant has not proposed mitigation for this
project and states that they do not believe it is necessary because the project
is for maintenance. The project also includes the discharge of a total of
16 cubic yards of fill for the replacement of culverts at ten of the outfall
channels. CCC Project No.: 06-0319-F1; Type of Application: U.S.A.C.E. permit

Chief Clerk
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Filed: June 28, 2006
The purpose of the meeting is to obtain public input and information concerning
the commission's proposal to delete the site from the state Superfund registry
because the site has been accepted into the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality Voluntary Cleanup Program.
The executive director (ED) of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ or commission) is issuing this public notice of intent to delete the
Cox Road Dump state Superfund site (site) from its proposed-for-listing status
on the state Superfund registry. The state registry is 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. The commission is proposing
this deletion because the site has been accepted into the TCEQ Voluntary Cleanup
Program. This notice was also published in the
Dayton
News
,
Liberty Vindicator
, and
The site was proposed for listing on the state Superfund registry in the
February 10, 2006, issue of the
Texas Register
(31
TexReg 907). The site, including all land, structures, appurtenances, and
other improvements, is located one mile north of FM 1413 on the east side
of County Road 491 (Cox Road), Dayton, Liberty County, Texas. The geographic
coordinates of the site are 29 degrees 58 minutes 30.84 seconds North latitude,
94 degrees 56 seconds 12.83 minutes West longitude. The site also includes
any areas where hazardous substances have come to be located as a result,
either directly or indirectly, of releases of hazardous substances from the
site.
The site has been accepted into the TCEQ Voluntary Cleanup Program and
is therefore eligible for deletion from the state registry as provided by
30 TAC §335.344(c).
The commission will hold a public meeting to receive comment on the proposed
deletion of the site. This public meeting is not a contested case hearing
under Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001. The public meeting is scheduled
for 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 8, 2006, at the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality offices, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building C, Room 131, in Austin, Texas.

Public Notice
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission announces its intent to
submit Amendment 16 to the Texas State Plan for the State Children's Health
Insurance Program (CHIP) under Title XXI of the Social Security Act. The proposed
effective date of this amendment is August 1, 2006.
This amendment increases the amount of time that families enrolled in CHIP
have to pay the enrollment fee upon renewal. Under the current state plan,
families renewing coverage have until cut-off of the last month of the current
six-month coverage period to pay the enrollment fee. Cut-off is usually 10-15
days prior to the end of the month. Under the amended state plan, families
will have until cut-off of the first month of the new six-month coverage period
to pay the enrollment fee.
HHSC anticipates that the proposed amendment to the state plan will result
in a neutral fiscal impact for state fiscal years 2006 and 2007.
For additional information, please contact Kimberly Tucker in the Acute
Care Policy Development unit for the Medicaid and CHIP Division by telephone
at (512) 491-1161 or by e-mail at kimberly.tucker@hhsc.state.tx.us.

If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded
to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated,

or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form
with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income
tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not

the Texas Workforce Commission, or Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission;
2. delinquent in making child support payments administered or collected
