Notice of District Petition

The following notice was issued on January 27, 1999, pursuant to 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 293; Texas Water Code Chapters 49, and 54; and Article XVI, Section 59 of the Constitution of the State of Texas.

A petition has been filed for creation of EAGLE MOUNTAIN MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT of Tarrant County. The proposed District shall contain approximately 457.41 acres located within Tarrant County, Texas, and within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the city of Fort Worth, Texas. According to the petition, a preliminary investigation has been made to determine the cost of the project, and it is estimated by the petitioners, from the information available at this time, that the cost of said project will be approximately $18,650,000.

If a written hearing request is not filed during the 30-day comment period, which extends from the day after the date of the second newspaper publication, the Executive Director may approve the above petition. To request a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime phone number, and fax number, if any; (2) the name of the applicant and the TNRCC Internal Control No.; (3) the statement "I/we request a public hearing"; and (4) a brief description of how you would be adversely affected by the granting of the request in a way not common to the general public. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the petition which would satisfy your concerns.

If a hearing request is filed, the Executive Director will not approve the petition and may forward the petition and hearing request to the TNRCC Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. If a contested case hearing is held, it will be a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court.

Written hearing requests should be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TNRCC, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087.

South East Texas Regional Planning Commission

Request for Proposal

The South East Texas Regional Planning Commission-Metropolitan Planning Organization (SETRPC-MPO) is seeking a qualified consulting firm to assist in updating the Jefferson-Orange-Hardin Regional Transportation Study (JOHRTS) area Metropolitan Transportation Plan-2025 (MTP-2025).

The SETRPC-MPO already has a Consultant updating the socio-economic and demographic inputs for the transportation network of the JOHRTS area. Therefore, assistance performed by the Consultant in preparation of the JOHRTS MTP-2025 will focus on identifying and testing needed improvements and updates to the existing JOHRTS long-range roadway system and transportation network.

This will involve the analysis of:

(1) Currently defined and coded transportation networks used by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for travel demand modeling purposes

(2) The most recent and available traffic forecasts prepared by TxDOT,

(3) The current transportation plan, and other appropriate plans.

Specific tasks to be completed by the consultant are stated below:

Review and Analysis of Existing Transportation Network Data, Forecasts, and Plans

The purpose of this task is to identify capacity deficient areas within the long-rage transportation network, and determine the level of required short-range and long-range system improvements. Specific activities in this task shall include:

(1) The review and analysis of all applicable plans, forecasts, policies, and data that affect transportation needs.

(2) Prepare an update of the JOHRTS MTP-2025, ensuring that it is consistent with the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) requirements and local area needs.

(3) Collection of existing city thoroughfare and long-range transportation plans/comprehensive plans to identify future transportation network developments for anticipated future growth areas.

(4) Review currently defined and coded future transportation networks used by TxDOT for travel demand modeling purposes, as well as current travel forecast data and their results. Upon identification of shortcomings within the transportation networks, practical solutions shall be developed.

Recommendations of roadway projects for the JOHRTS MTP-2025 and subsequent network revisions shall then be developed. A network of highways, arterial roadways, and collector streets that serve as the JOHRTS thoroughfare plan will be identified and developed; new roadways and facilities should be considered as well as improvements and/or changes to the existing long-range network.

Develop and Test Alternative Networks

Based on recommendations developed in the previous task, new roadways and facilities as well as improvements and/or changes may be added to the JOHRTS long-range network. Using the TxDOT travel demand model (TRANPLAN), the Consultant will perform the following subtasks:

(1) Identify a range of alternative network scenarios that reflect the recommendations previously developed for incorporation into the 2025 network. These alternatives will be presented and discussed in cooperation with the SETRPC and the TxDOT to determine which scenarios will be analyzed through modeling applications.

(2)Code the recommended 2025 highway network scenarios, and run a traffic assignment for each scenario. Present and document the results of the highway alternatives analysis.

(3) Recommend a range of network scenarios, based upon new proposed transportation projects, that will provide the greatest improvement in air quality within the JOHRTS area.

Contact: Bob Dickinson, Director, 9-1-1, Air Quality and Transportation Programs, South East Texas Regional Planning Commission, at (409) 724-1911, 3501 Turtle Creek Drive, Port Arthur, Texas 77642.
