Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission

Title 30, Part 1

The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (commission) proposes the review of Chapter 294, Underground Water Management Areas. This review is in accordance with the requirements of Texas Government Code, §2001.039, and the General Appropriations Act, Article IX, §9-10.13, 76th Legislature, 1999, which requires state agencies to review and consider for readoption each of their rules every four years. A review must include an assessment of whether the reasons for the rules continue to exist.

Chapter 294 contains the designations and the procedures for designation of groundwater management areas and priority groundwater management areas. Subchapters A and B designate groundwater management areas for the Carrizo-Wilcox and the Antlers Sand Aquifers. Subchapters C and E contain the procedures for the designation of a groundwater management area and for the designation of a priority groundwater management area, respectively. Subchapter D contains the designations for the following priority groundwater management areas: Briscoe, Hale and Swisher Counties; Dallam County; Hill Country; and Reagan, Upton, and Midland Counties.

The commission has reviewed the rules in Chapter 294 and made a preliminary assessment that the reason for their adoption continues to exist. The procedures and powers provided to the commission relating to the designation of groundwater management areas and priority groundwater management areas are contained in Texas Water Code (TWC) Chapter 35, Groundwater Studies. These rules are necessary to implement the provisions of Chapter 35 and to provide further explanation of the procedures relating to designating these areas.

The commission's review of Chapter 294 has also revealed that the readability of Subchapters C and E could be improved by reordering the sequence of some of the subsections. The usability of these subchapters could by improved by defining the role of the Texas Department of Agriculture as provided by changes to TWC, §§35.007, 35.012, and 35.013 that were added by House Bill 2660, 76th Legislature, 1999; and that the title of Chapter 294 should be revised from "Underground Water Management Areas" to "Groundwater Management Areas" to reflect changes to TWC, Chapter 35. The commission intends to propose changes in the near future to address these issues.

Today's proposal is limited to the review in accordance with the requirements of the Texas Government Code, §2001.039, and the General Appropriations Act, Article IX, §9-10.13, 76th Legislature, 1999. The commission is accepting comments on whether the reasons for the rules in Chapter 294 continue to exist. However, the commission invites comments on any corrections or other revisions that could be considered in the aforementioned future rulemaking.

A public hearing will not be held on this proposal. 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 1999-075- 294-WT. Comments must be received by 5:00 p.m., May 8, 2000. For further information, please contact Mary Ambrose, Regulation Development Section, (512) 239-4813.

Adopted Rule Reviews

Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission

Title 30, Part 1

The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (commission) adopts the review of Chapter 284, Private Sewage Facilities. This review is in accordance with the requirements of Texas Government Code, §2001.039, and the General Appropriations Act, Article IX, §9-10.13, 76th Legislature, 1999, which requires state agencies to review and consider for readoption each of their rules every four years. The Notice of Intention to Review was published for comment in the December 17, 1999 issue of the Texas Register (24 TexReg 11544).

The commission has reviewed the rules in Chapter 284 and made an assessment that the reason for their adoption no longer continues to exist. The commission adopts the repeal of Chapter 284 as part of the adoption of this review as contained in the Adopted Rules section of this issue of the Texas Register .

Prior to 1987, Texas Water Code (TWC), §26.031 granted to the Texas Water Commission the authority to regulate certain on-site sewage facilities (OSSF) in the state. The rules developed under §26.031 authorized river authorities and special districts to regulate OSSF systems within their areas of jurisdiction, primarily around lakes and reservoirs. The Texas Water Commission adopted Chapter 284 to implement this statute. In 1987, TWC, §26.031 was repealed, and House Bill 1875 was passed, which gave authority to the Texas Department of Health to regulate OSSF systems in Texas. The OSSF program and the authority to regulate OSSF systems was returned to the commission in 1992; however, that authority is now contained in Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 366, and is implemented through 30 TAC Chapter 285, On-Site Sewage Facilities. The commission has determined that it no longer has statutory authority to continue the rules under Chapter 284. Additionally, Chapter 284 is superceded by rules under Chapter 285 and the existence of both chapters causes confusion in the regulated community.

A public hearing on the proposed rules review and proposed rules repeal was scheduled for January 11, 2000; however, no one appeared at the hearing to testify. Also, no written comments on the proposed rules review or the proposed rules repeal were received by the commission during the comment period. Tarrant Regional Water District (District) submitted a comment letter after the close of the comment period. The District is opposed to the repeal of Subchapters N, R, W, and X of Chapter 284 because the District believes that the repeal will leave the District's reservoirs unprotected from contamination until the agency takes action on the District's proposed orders to replace the Chapter 284 rules.

The commission responds that the repeal of Chapter 284 is based upon a lack of statutory authority for the rules to exist. Chapter 284 has been superceded by rules contained in Chapter 285. If the District wishes to continue oversight of the OSSF program, it will need to get an order authorizing the District to be an authorized agent of the commission under Chapter 285. If the District's proposed orders are not approved by the time the repeal of Chapter 284 takes effect, jurisdiction over the on-site sewage facilities program around the reservoirs in question will default to the local county if it has an approved order under Chapter 285, or to the commission. The local county or the commission will administer the program until the order authorizing the District's program is approved. Thus, the District's reservoirs will continue to be protected.
