Coastal Coordination Council

Notice and Opportunity to Comment on Requests for Consistency Agreement/Concurrence Under the Texas Coastal Management Program

On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439-1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 501. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of March 10, 2006, through March 16, 2006. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§506.25, 506.32, and 506.41, the public comment period for these activities extends 30 days from the date published on the Coastal Coordination Council web site. The notice was published on the web site on March 22, 2006. The public comment period for these projects will close at 5:00 p.m. on April 24, 2006.

FEDERAL AGENCY ACTIONS:

Applicant: Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority (GCA) ; Location: The project site is located on the southeast side of a 40-acre GCA wastewater treatment facility located at 3500 Loop 197 South in Texas City, Galveston County, Texas. The project site is located approximately 4,000 feet west of Swan Lake. The project can be located on the U.S.G.S. quadrangle map entitled "Swan Lake, Texas". Approximate UTM Coordinates in NAD 27 (meters): Zone 15; Easting: 313900; Northing: 3248200. Directions to the site: from Houston, take IH 45 south to exit No. 7. Veer left at fork towards FM 146 and stay in the far right hand lane onto Loop 197 South. After crossing the railroad tracks, the facility exit will be approximately one mile on the right. Enter at the second GCA entrance on the right. This is a limited access facility. Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct an access road through an adjacent wetland, filling approximately 0.52 acre of palustrine emergent wetlands. The wetland acreage has not been verified by the Corps of Engineers. Approximately 831 cubic yards of clean soil from a commercial borrow site would be discharged into the wetland below the plane of ordinary high water to construct the approximately 990-foot-long by 30-foot-wide (not including side slopes) road. The proposed road would be used to transport fill and equipment necessary to construct an earthen base for a new Oxygen-Activated Sludge project in what is currently the Spill Basin of the existing wastewater treatment plant and would be retained to provide a wide road and turnaround capability for the increased volume of trucks that would be coming to the facility after the Oxygen-Activated Sludge project is complete. The existing wastewater treatment facility was authorized by Department of the Army Permit No. 9151, issued on 2 January 1973 to the GCA. The permit expired on 31 December 1975. The applicant's alternatives analysis states that the proposed road was designed to avoid and minimize impacts to higher-quality wetlands while avoiding direct impacts to the Office/Laboratory and the Maintenance Buildings, and thus, facility operations. The applicant stated that avoidance and minimization was accomplished by shifting the alignment to the east and utilizing two upland areas adjacent to the existing buildings and levee-roadway, achieving the project goal of creating a circular traffic pattern, improving facility operations and alleviating safety concerns while avoiding and minimizing wetland impacts. The alternatives analysis stated that using existing facility roads for construction access would disrupt current operations and cause safety concerns at the existing Office/Laboratory Building, where pedestrian activity occurs. Widening the existing facility levee-roadway would disrupt facility operations during construction, placing a substantial burden on other wastewater treatment facilities that may not have the capacity to accept the full volume waste load resulting from complete process shutdown and having the same safety concerns at the Office/Laboratory Building. Routing the construction road from the existing 3.4-acre pad on the southwest corner of the facility diagonally (northeast) to the corner of the existing levee located west of the Maintenance Building would impact high-quality wetlands located between the pad and the levee and does not address the safety concerns at the Office/Laboratory Building. Similarly, routing the road west of the proposed site and aligning due north to the existing levee west of the Maintenance Building would impact high-quality wetlands. The applicant has not supplied a proposed compensatory mitigation plan for the loss of wetland functions. CCC Project No.: 06-0188-F1; Type of Application: U.S.A.C.E. permit application #9151(01) is being evaluated under §404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §1344).

Applicant: City of Beaumont ; Location: The project is located on the Neches River, Bunn's Bluff Raw Water Intake, at Bunn's Bluff canal, in Orange County, Texas. The project can be located on the U.S.G.S. quadrangle map entitled: Pine Forest, Texas. Approximate UTM Coordinates in NAD 27 (meters): Zone 15; Easting: 393172; Northing: 3337831. Project Description: The applicant proposes to amend Permit No. 22659 to add hydraulic dredging to the authorization. This amendment consists of dredging in the Neches River within an area 0.22 acre in size. The proposed dredge area will be located at the intake of the Bunn's Bluff canal. The dredge area will be 200 feet long and 50 feet wide. The proposed dredge area will be dredged to a maximum depth of 13 feet below mud line, to an average water depth of 23 feet. The applicant also requests authorization to maintenance dredge this area for 10 years. The applicant proposes to place the dredge material within an area that was previously excavated out of uplands. The Corps of Engineers (Corps) has determined that the excavation of the dredge material placement area did not require a Corps permit. CCC Project No.: 06-0208-F1; Type of Application: U.S.A.C.E. permit application #22659(01) is being evaluated under §10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C.A. §403).

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 Ms. Tammy Brooks, Program Specialist, Coastal Coordination Council, P. O. Box 12873, Austin, Texas 78711-2873, or tammy.brooks@glo.state.tx.us. Comments should be sent to Ms. Brooks at the above address or by fax at (512) 475-0680.

Public Notice

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit Transmittal Number TX 06-021, Amendment Number 739, to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. The amendment is effective September 1, 2006.

Amendment Number 739 provides for supplemental payments for Medicaid inpatient hospital services provided by privately owned children's hospitals in the State of Texas. These supplemental payments will not exceed the difference between the total annual Medicaid payments and the federal upper payment limit (UPL) established in 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 447.272 for these facilities. UPL is "a reasonable estimate of the amount that would be paid for the services furnished by a group of facilities under Medicare payment principles." Amendment 739 will ensure that Medicaid payments for inpatient hospital services provided by these facilities are commensurate with the Medicare payments and/or payment principles.

The amendment is expected to increase State expenditures and the amount of federal matching funds to the State. For State Fiscal Year 2007, the amendment is estimated to result in increased aggregate State expenditures of $64,284,029, with increased federal matching funds of $39,284,029.

To obtain copies of the proposed amendment, interested parties may contact Arnulfo Gomez by telephone at (512) 491-1166 or by e-mail at arnulfo.gomez@hhsc.state.tx.us. Copies of the amendment also will be made available for public review at the local offices of the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has updated its state plan forms to include information concerning the new Medicare prescription drug benefits program created under Title 1 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA). Amendment 735 complies with a request by CMS to update the state plan for the Primary Care Case Management (PCCM) program using the revised forms. This amendment adds language to the state plan assuring CMS that the state will comply with all applicable requirements of the MMA.

The State estimates that the amendment will not result in a fiscal impact to state or federal funds over the next two fiscal years.

Public Notice Statement

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit an amendment to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. This amendment will revise the Reimbursement Methodology for Intermediate Care Facilities for Persons with Mental Retardation (ICF/MR) to allow for a mid-year partial settlement of the interim rate and a corresponding adjustment to the interim rate for the remainder of the state fiscal year to account for actual increases in costs to operate state operated facilities that were not anticipated in the initial interim rate. HHSC is taking this action so that adequate funds are available to serve clients in these facilities. This action will allow the state to increase necessary federal funding closer to when costs are incurred rather then waiting for the annual settlement calculation to make these adjustments. The annual settlement will continue to be conducted.

The proposed amendment is to be effective April 1, 2006 with the settlement calculation and interim rate adjustment made for the entire state fiscal year. The amendment is expected to increase federal matching funds to the state for the ICF/MR program as follows:

FY 2006: $22,805,048

In order to qualify to receive a credit certificate, the homebuyer must qualify for a conventional, FHA, VA or other home mortgage loan from a lending institution and must meet the other requirements of the Program.

The credit certificates will be issued to qualified mortgagors on a first-come, first-served basis by the Department acting through an administrator, which will review applications from lending institutions and prospective mortgagors to determine compliance with the requirements of the Program and determine that credit certificates remain available under the Program. No credit certificates will be issued prior to 90 days from the date of publication of this notice nor after the date that all of the credit certificate amount has been allocated to homebuyers and in no event after December 31, 2008.

In order to satisfy the eligibility requirements for a certificate under the Program, (a) the prospective residence must be a single-family residence located within the State of Texas that can be reasonably expected to become the principal residence of the mortgagor within a reasonable period of time after the financing is provided; (b) the prospective homebuyer’s current income must not exceed, (i) for families of three or more persons, 115% (140% in certain targeted areas) of the area median income, and (ii) for individuals and families of two persons, 100% (120% in certain targeted areas) of the area median income; (c) the prospective homebuyer must not have owned a home as a principal residence during the past three years (except in the case of certain targeted area residences); (d) the acquisition cost of the residence must not exceed 90% (110%, in the case of certain targeted area residences) of the average area purchase price applicable to the residence; and (e) no part of the proceeds of the qualified indebtedness may be used to acquire or replace an existing mortgage. Pursuant to the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005, residences in certain areas affected by Hurricane Rita are treated as targeted area residences.

Any lender interested in appearing on this list or in obtaining additional information regarding the Program should contact Sue Cavazos at the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, 221 East 11th Street, Austin, Texas 78701-2410; (512) 475-3962.
