The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) announces the availability of the Draft Revisions to Series 1 (Public Participation), Series 6 (Water Quality Management Planning), and Series 11 (Segment Classification) of the Water Quality Management Program Continuing Planning Process Document.

The Continuing Planning Process is a document which describes the State of Texas water quality management program. This document provides the current management and technical procedures developed and implemented by the TNRCC to control, manage, and abate water pollution in the state. The Continuing Planning Process document's purpose is to demonstrate that the program requirements and methods employed by the TNRCC will protect and maintain water quality for the benefit of the entire state.

The Clean Water Act requires the state to establish and maintain a Continuing Planning Process document which contains the procedures by which the TNRCC will operate. These procedures are developed by the various divisions responsible for implementing the TNRCC's water quality management programs. In order to maintain current procedures, the TNRCC is updating the sections of the document for Series 1 (Public Participation) and Series 6 (Water Quality Management Planning) in order to outline an efficient process for updating the State of Texas Water Quality Management Plan process that does not delay issuance of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits. The TNRCC must ensure that effluent limitations in waste discharge permits are consistent with the state's Water Quality Management Plan. The TNRCC is also updating Series 11 (Segment Classification) in order to clarify how the classification, water quality limited, applies to water quality management planning.

A copy of the draft revisions for Series 1 (Public Participation), Series 6 (Water Quality Management Planning), and Series 11 (Segment Classification) of the Water Quality Management Program Continuing Planning Process Document may be viewed on the TNRCC's web page at http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/water/quality/index.html , and at the TNRCC Central Office at 12015 North Interstate 35, Building A, Library.

Director, Litigation Division

Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission

Filed: April 13, 1999

The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC or commission) is issuing this public notice of a proposed selection of remedy for the Baldwin Waste Oil state Superfund site. In accordance with the Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 361.187 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, concerning the proposed remedial action, a public meeting regarding the TNRCC's selection of a proposed remedy for the Baldwin Waste Oil state Superfund site shall be held. The statute requires that the Commission shall publish notice of the meeting in the Texas Register and in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the facility is located at least 30 days before the date of the public meeting. This notice will also be published in the April 22, 1999, issue of the Record Star .

The public meeting is scheduled at the Nueces County Auditorium, 710 East Main in Robstown, Texas, Tuesday, May 25, 1999, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The public meeting will be legislative in nature and is not a contested case hearing under the Texas Government Code 2001.

Contemporaneously with this notice, the executive director of the TNRCC hereby makes available to all interested parties the public records he has regarding the facility. A portion of the records for this site, including documents pertinent to the proposed remedy, is available for review during regular business hours at the Nueces County Public Library, 710 East Main St., Robstown, Texas, telephone (512) 767-5228. Copies of the complete public record file may be obtained during business hours at the TNRCC, Central Records Center, Building D, North Entrance, Room 190, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, telephone (512) 239-2920. Photocopying of file information is subject to payment of a fee. A brief summary of those public records follows.

The site for which a remedy is being proposed, the Baldwin Waste Oil state Superfund site, was proposed for listing on the state registry of Superfund sites in the October 16, 1987, issue of the Texas Register (15 TexReg 3858). The Baldwin Waste Oil state Superfund site is located on the south side of County Road 44, approximately one mile north of State Highway 44 and about 1,000 feet west of Farm Road 1889, in Robstown. The property was leased for use as a waste oil processing facility to the Baldwin Waste Oil Company and became operational in early 1978. Mr. Baldwin operated the plant until 1984, when he leased the facility to another company, which operated until their lease expired in 1986.

The facility as inspected by the Texas Water Commission, predecessor agency of the TNRCC, in November 1986, and found to be abandoned. A number of limited site investigations were performed at the facility, including a TNRCC inspection in October 1988. These site investigations primarily concentrated on sampling liquid materials present within site tanks, drums, containers, and sampling surface soils. Analyses of soil samples indicated elevated lead, chromium, barium, and arsenic concentrations.

At the request of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) On-Site Coordinator, the EPA Technical Assistance Team conducted additional site assessments in August 1990, and in March 1991. These site assessments were conducted to determine imminent threats to public health and the environment and to characterize the extent of contamination. The Technical Assistance Team site assessments primarily evaluated soil contamination and the possible migration of absorbed-phase contamination. Offsite and background soil samples did not contain total lead in detectable concentrations. Some on-site soil samples did indicate elevated total lead concentrations. Almost half of the on-site soil samples also had detectable concentrations of volatile organic compounds.

In July 1992, the EPA under their enforcement action, began emergency on-site removal and remediation activities. The wastes from the tanks and sludge were removed to an offsite incineration facility and the tanks were cut up and removed offsite for scrap metal. A bio-remediation cell was constructed in the former tank farm area and was operated and maintained by Suntide Environmental. This cell has since been removed and is no longer located on the property.

The TNRCC conducted an environmental investigation at the site from June 1995 through June 1996. Another round of sampling was conducted in February 1998, to obtain additional subsurface soil data and groundwater data to evaluate the horizontal extent of chemicals of concern. This investigation included 12 direct push soil borings, the installation of a down-gradient monitor well, and the collection and analysis soil and groundwater samples. Another sampling round was conducted by the TNRCC in February 1999, to determine background concentrations and to further delineate the metal concentrations in the surface soils on and off site. The concentrations of metals in the soils were determined to be below the soil remediation goals. Using the data collected during the remedial investigation, a Baseline Risk Assessment was conducted and finalized in April 1999.

The TNRCC prepared the Proposed Remedial Action Document in April 1999. This document presents the proposed remedy and justification for how this remedy demonstrates compliance with the relevant cleanup standards. Because the soils contaminated with volatile organics, semi-volatile organics and metals were below the remediation goals, the threat to public health, safety and the environment at the Baldwin Waste Oil site was eliminated; therefore, the TNRCC's proposed Remedial Action for the soils is no further action. The TNRCC through EPA's removal action proposes that natural attenuation, confirmed by additional groundwater monitoring, and deed recordation constitute the Remedial Action for the groundwater at the site. The TNRCC considers these actions to be adequate to protect human health and the environment.

The TNRCC is proposing that the existing monitor wells be sampled at a frequency of twice yearly for a period of three years. After this period the TNRCC proposes that the existing monitor wells be sampled at a frequency of once per year until sample results show that natural attenuation has occurred as evidence by groundwater concentrations below the remediation goals.

Persons desiring to make comments on the proposed remedial action or the identification of potentially responsible parties may do so at the meeting or in writing prior to the public meeting. Written comments may be submitted to Ms. Diane Poteet, Project Manager, TNRCC, Remediation Division, MC 143, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. All comments must be received by the close of the public meeting on May 25, 1999.

Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission

Filed: April 14, 1999

Notice is hereby given that under the requirements of Texas Health and Safety Code, §382.017; Texas Government Code, Subchapter B, Chapter 2001; and 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), §51.102 of the United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations concerning State Implementation Plans (SIP), the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC or commission) will conduct a public hearing to receive testimony concerning revisions to 30 TAC Chapter 115, Subchapter F, and to the SIP.

The commission proposes amendments to §§115.510, 115.512, 115.513, 115.515, and 115.516, concerning Miscellaneous Industrial Sources, Division 1: Cutback Asphalt. The commission proposes to add a definition for alternative asphalt. In addition, the commission proposes the amendments to substitute the term "alternative asphalt" for the phrase "emulsified asphalt" to give flexibility to industry as to the type of asphalt it may use during the peak ozone generating period, update the rules to match current scientific knowledge, and continue to ensure volatile organic compound reductions in Nueces County and in nonattainment areas. The volume limit on cutback use in Nueces County is changed from 8.0% to 7.0% to be consistent with the volume limitations that exist in other regulated areas.

A public hearing on the proposal will be held May 19, 1999 at 10:00 a.m. in Building F, Room 5108 of the TNRCC complex, located at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin. The hearing is structured for the receipt of oral or written comments by interested persons. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. Open discussion will not occur during the hearing; however, an agency staff member will be available to discuss the proposal 30 minutes prior to the hearing and answer questions before and after the hearing.

Comments may be submitted to Lisa Martin, Office of Environmental Policy, Analysis, and Assessment, MC 205, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, or faxed to (512) 239-4808. All comments should reference Rule Log Number 98082-115-AI. Comments must be received by 5:00 p.m., May 24, 1999. For further information, please contact Terry Leifeste, Office of Environmental Policy, Analysis, and Assessment, (512) 239-1873.

Persons with disabilities who have special communication or other accommodation needs who are planning to attend the hearing should contact the agency at (512) 239-4900. Requests should be made as far in advance as possible.

Notice is given to the public of the filing with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) an application on March 17, 1999, pursuant to P.U.C. Substantive Rule §23.103 for approval of an intraLATA equal access implementation plan.

Project Number: Application of Time Warner Connect-Austin for Approval of IntraLATA Equal Access Implementation Plan Pursuant to P.U.C. Substantive Rule §23.103. Project Number 20635.

The Application: The intraLATA plan filed by Time Warner Connect-Austin (Time Warner Connect) provides a proposal that, upon implementation, would provide customers with the ability to route intraLATA toll calls automatically, without the use of access codes, to the telecommunications services provider of their designation.. Time Warner Connect operates as a reseller of local exchange service under a service provider certificate of operating authority. Time Warner Connect asserts, because it is a reseller of Southwestern Bell Telephone Company's (SWBT) local exchange service, Time Warner Connect lacks the technical capability to provide intraLATA equal access to its customers. Time Warner Connect affirms it will offer dialing parity for intraLATA toll calls at the time the commission requires SWBT to provide intraLATA equal access.

Persons who wish to comment upon the action sought should contact the Public Utility Commission of Texas, by mail at PO Box 13326, Austin, Texas, 78711-3326, or call the Public tility Commission Office of Customer Protection at (512) 936-7120 on or before April 30, 1999.
