To meet this requirement, the State of Texas has submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) applications to revise the State's UIC program to reflect exemption of the relevant portion of the aquifers, which will be in effect until exemption status is removed. A public meeting is intended for the taking of public comment, and is not a contested case hearing. TNRCC will consider public comments in making a decision regarding the aquifer exemptions. The first proposed aquifer exemption is for a portion of the Goliad Formation associated with "in situ" uranium mining activities authorized under Class III UIC Permit No. UR02880-001 at the URI, Inc. Rosita project, and will be an extension to the existing aquifer exemption. The Rosita mine is located approximately 11 miles northwest of the City of San Diego north of State Highway 44 in northern Duval County, Texas. The production zone is approximately 10 to 50 feet thick in the Goliad Formation at a depth of 100 to 300 feet below land surface. A major amendment to Permit No. UR02880-001 was granted by the TNRCC on January 23, 1998 to authorize the operation of the Rosita Project under state law. The portion of the aquifer covered by the proposed aquifer exemption is the same 70 acres as added by the major amendment to Permit No. UR02880-001 on January 23, 1998. The second proposed aquifer exemption is for a portion of the Oakville Sandstone Formation associated with "in situ" uranium mining activities authorized under Class III UIC Permit No. UR03050-001 at the URI, Inc. Vasquez Project. The Vasquez mine is located in Duval County, on the north side of Highway 359, approximately ten miles south-southeast of Bruni and approximately 50 miles east of Laredo. The production zone is approximately 45 to 70 feet thick in the Oakville Sandstone at a depth of 150 to 210 below land surface. Permit No. UR03050-001 was granted by the TNRCC on August 15, 1997, to authorize the operation of the Vasquez Project under state law. The portion of the aquifer covered by the proposed aquifer exemption is the same 841.66 acre tract as included in Permit No. UR03050-001 granted on August 15, 1997.
