Notice is hereby given of a public hearing to be held by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (the "Department") at 507 Sabine Street, Room 437, Austin, Texas, at 12:00 p.m. on October 7, 1999, with respect to an issue of residential mortgage revenue bonds (the "Bonds") to be issued in an aggregate face amount of not more than $182,585,000 by the Department.

A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance an estimated $120,000,000 single family residential mortgage loans made to eligible very low, low and moderate income first-time home buyers for the purchase of homes located within the State of Texas. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds may be used to refund a portion of the outstanding Texas Housing Agency (predecessor to the Department) GNMA Collateralized Home Mortgage Revenue Bonds, Series 1989A and Series 1989B. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds may be used to refund a portion of the outstanding Texas Housing Agency (predecessor to the Department) Residential Mortgage Revenue Bonds, Series 1988A and Series 1989A. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used to refund all or a portion of the Department's outstanding Single Family Mortgage Revenue Refunding Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper Notes, Series A (AMT).

For purposes of the Department's mortgage loan finance programs, eligible borrowers generally will include individuals and families whose family income does 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. The Department anticipates setting aside approximately 30% of the funds made available for borrowers of very low income (60% of area median income) for approximately one year. In addition, substantially all of the borrowers under the programs will be required to be persons who have not owned a principal residence during the preceding three years. Further, residences financed with loans under the programs will be subject to certain other limitations, including limits on the purchase prices of the residences being acquired. All the limitations described in this paragraph are subject to revision and adjustment from time to time by the Department pursuant to applicable federal law and Department policy.

All interested parties are invited to attend such public hearing to express their views with respect to the Department's mortgage loan finance program and the issuance of the Bonds.

The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC or commission) is issuing a public notice of intent to delete (delist) the Hayes-Sammons Warehouse state Superfund site from the state registry (state Superfund list) of 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 Hayes-Sammons site was originally proposed for listing on the state Superfund registry on January 16, 1987 (12TexReg 205). The site is located at East Eighth street and Miller Avenue in Mission, Hidalgo County, Texas. The site covers approximately one city block (2.5 acres) and consists of three parcels of land owned by separate parties.

The Hayes-Sammons site was used for industrial purposes until approximately 1968. Documented use of the property for pesticide storage dates back to about 1945. Two warehouses were built on the property and used by the Hayes-Sammons Chemical Company and its successor companies for pesticide storage from 1945 to 1968. Since then, the warehouses have been used for storage of personal items by one of the property owners.

In 1995, a remedial investigation was conducted to define general site characteristics and determine the nature and extent of contaminants present at the site. Results of the field investigation and laboratory analyses showed that the primary soil contaminants encountered at the site are organochlorine pesticides and arsenic. The contamination was generally confined to the upper two feet of soils near the brick and sheet metal warehouse structures on the site. The site investigation detected no contamination in the ground water.

A Baseline Risk Assessment Report evaluated the risks from exposure to the contaminants at the site. The risk assessment used information from the remedial investigation and standard toxicological exposure assumptions that included the ingestion of contaminated soil, dermal contact with contaminated soil, and inhalation of contaminated soil. This information was used to estimate the potential for adverse effects on human health and the environment for both current and potential future exposure. The current receptors who were potentially exposed to contaminants at the site include off-site workers and on-site trespassers. All of the exposure scenarios produced a calculated potential risk exceeding acceptable levels.

The TNRCC conducted a remedial action in accordance with a Administrative Order and responsible parties. The remedial action included excavation and removal of contaminated soils, demolition and disposal of three storage buildings, and plugging and abandonment of seven monitoring wells. All removed materials were transported off-site to a permitted disposal facility and all excavated areas were backfilled, graded, and hydro-mulched to provide a vegetative cover. On October 1, 1998, a final inspection confirmed that all remedial action activities instituted under the Administrative Order were completed.

Contaminants and waste deposited at the site have been remediated to meet non-residential (i.e., industrial/commercial) soil criteria in accordance with a plan designed to meet the requirements of 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §335.561, Risk Reduction Standard Number 3, this regulation mandates that the remedy be designed to eliminate or reduce, to the maximum extent practicable, substantial present or future risk. In accordance with risk reduction standards applicable at the time of this filing, industrial use is considered an appropriate future use of the property.

The executive director has determined that the site no longer presents an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety and the environment and is therefore eligible for deletion from the list of sites proposed for the state Superfund registry as specified at 30 TAC §335.344(c).

In accordance with 30 TAC §335.344(b), the commission will hold a public meeting if requested to do so by the public to receive comment on this intended deletion. This meeting is not a contested case hearing within the meaning of Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001. 30 TAC §335.344 (b) states that a meeting shall be held by request of the executive director or by requests filed with the executive director. Since the executive director does not intend to initiate a public meeting, the commission will not hold a public meeting unless the executive director receives a request for one before 5:00 p.m., October 18, 1999. If a public meeting is requested, notice shall be provided by first class mail to all Potentially Responsible Parties and other interested persons, and by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the Hidalgo county, at least 30 days before the date set for the meeting. The person submitting the request must bear the cost of the publication of the notice.

If a public meeting challenging this determination of eligibility for deletion by the executive director is not requested by a Potentially Responsible Party or any interested person(s) before the designated date, the Hayes- Sammons Warehouse state Superfund site will be deleted from the state Superfund list.

All inquiries regarding the Hayes-Sammons Warehouse state Superfund site or requests for a public meeting should be directed to Alvie Nichols, TNRCC Project Manager, Remediation Division. MC-143, P. O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087; telephone (800) 633-9363 (calls within Texas only) or (512) 239-2439. A portion of the record for the site, including documents pertinent to the executive director's determination, is available for review during regular business hours at the Speer Memorial Library, 801 E. 12th Street, Mission, Texas (956) 580-8755. The complete public file may be obtained during regular business hours at the commission's Records Management Center, Building D, North Entrance, Room 190, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, telephone (800) 633-9363 (calls within Texas only) or (512) 239-2920.
