with OMB Circular A-87, for submission to HHS for federal approval and will
negotiate approval of those plans with HHS. Contractor will also analyze existing
legal billing rates of the OAG for purposes of reconciling those existing
rates with actual costs of the OAG in providing the legal services and will
provide to the OAG a report of that reconciliation. Contractor will develop
the FY04 billing rates for legal services. Contractor will negotiate with
HHS for approval of the FY04 billing rates. Finally, Contractor will provide
guidance to the OAG in the implementation of these plans and billing rates.

The private consultant engaged by the OAG for these activities is Maximus,
Inc., whose business address is 13601 Preston Road, Suite 400W, Dallas, TX

approval is still pending for the plans. In such case, the contract will continue
until August 31, 2004 for the sole purpose of obtaining the necessary federal
approval.
DATES ON WHICH REPORTS ARE DUE:
The Indirect Cost Allocation Plans must be submitted to HHS no later than
April 30, 2003. The final report regarding the FY04 billing rates for legal

Notice is hereby given by the State of Texas of the following proposed
partial resolution of an environmental enforcement lawsuit under the Texas
Health and Safety Code and the Texas Water Code. Before the State may settle
a judicial enforcement action under the Water Code, the State shall permit
the public to comment in writing on the proposed judgment. The Attorney General
will consider any written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to
the proposed agreed judgment if the comments disclose facts or considerations
that indicate that the consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or
inconsistent with the requirements of the Code.
Case Title and Court: Harris County, Texas, and the State of Texas v. TOPS
Organic, L.L.C., d/b/a Copperfield/Cyfair Mulch Supply & Wood Recycling;
Oliver Tyson, individually; Larry Cook, individually; Thomas Thurman, individually;
and Jerry Cook, Trustee of the Cook Family Trust; Case No. 2002-03134, 281st
District Court of Harris County, Texas.
Nature of Defendant's Operations: Defendant Jerry Cook, Trustee of the
Cook Family Trust ("Defendant Cook Trust") is a party to the lawsuit. Defendant
Cook Trust is the owner of the facility at 7800 1/2 Wright Road ("Wright Road
Site"), Harris County, Texas, which is used for the collection, storage, transportation,
processing, and disposal of municipal solid waste. Defendant Cook Trust, as
owner of the Wright Road Site, is in violation of the rules of the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality that require a permit or other authorization to store,
process, remove, or dispose of municipal solid waste, and that prohibit the
collection, storage, transportation, processing, or disposal of municipal
solid waste in such a manner as to endanger human health and welfare or the
environment.
Proposed Agreed Judgment: The Agreed Interlocutory Judgment and Permanent
Injunction enjoins Defendant Cook Trust to take action necessary to secure
its compliance with the rules of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality,
the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, and the Texas Water Code. The Agreed Interlocutory
Judgment and Permanent Injunction further requires Defendant Cook Trust to
pay Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars and no cents ($25,000.00) in civil penalties,
to be divided equally between Harris County and the State of Texas. Such civil
penalties will be deferred provided Defendant Cook Trust completes all injunctive
requirements no later than October 1, 2003. The judgment further provides
that Defendant Cook Trust will pay to the State of Texas attorney's fees in
the amount of Two-Hundred Fifty Dollars and no cents ($250.00), and pay to
Harris County, Texas, attorney's fees in the amount of Four Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars and no cents ($4,500.00). Defendant is also required to pay
half of costs of court.
For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete proposed
Agreed Interlocutory Judgment and Permanent Injunction with Regard to Defendant
Jerry Cook, Trustee of the Cook Family Trust, should be reviewed. Requests
for copies of the judgment, and written comments on the proposed settlement,
should be directed to Howard S. Slobodin, Assistant Attorney General, Office
of the Texas Attorney General, P. O. Box 12548, Austin, Texas 78711-2548,

On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the
Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439-1440). Under
federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal
zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC
Chapter 501. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity
to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken
or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§506.25,
506.32, and 506.41, the public comment period for these activities extends
30 days from the date published on the Coastal Coordination Council web site.
Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete
for the following projects(s) during the period of February 7, 2003, through
February 13, 2003. The public comment period for these projects will close
at 5:00 p.m. on March 21, 2003.
FEDERAL AGENCY ACTIONS:
Applicant: R. R. Ryan Investments, Inc.; Location: The project is located
on Galveston Bay, at 7500 Harborside Drive, in Galveston, Galveston County.
The project can be located on the U.S.G.S. quadrangle map entitled: Galveston,
Texas. Approximate UTM Coordinates: Zone: 15; Easting: 319678; Northing: 3241956.
Project Description: The applicant proposes to: (1) hydraulically dredge 70,635
cubic yards of material from areas A, B, C, and D of the proposed project
plans, placing dredge material onsite for later onsite upland usage; (2) excavate
a 50- by 350-foot (0.40 acre) graving dock with 165 feet of concrete bottom;
and (3) construct 1,851 feet of steel bulkhead along the Galveston Bay shoreline
and the graving canal. The applicant has completed the unauthorized placement
of 0.24 acres of fill material into Galveston Bay resulting in more than the
minimum necessary for erosion protection; the excavation of a 0.40-acre canal;
and the construction of 750 feet of bulkhead along the east shoreline of Galveston
Bay, as well as within the graving dock. CCC Project No.: 03-0015-F1; Type
of Application: U.S.A.C.E. permit application After-the-Fact #22853 is being
evaluated under §10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C.A. §403)
and §404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §125-1387). NOTE: The
CMP consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the
Clean Water Act.
Applicant: Glenn Forman, Jr.; Location: The project is located on Galveston
Bay adjacent to the Jambalaya Connection Restaurant, 6428 Harborside Drive,
Galveston, Galveston County.. The project can be located on the U.S.G.S. quadrangle
map entitled: Galveston, Texas. Approximate UTM Coordinates: Zone: 15; Easting:
320576; Northing: 3242153. Project Description: After-the-fact: The applicant
has placed approximately 49 cubic yards of fill dirt and broken concrete slabs
below the mean high tide line along the shoreline of Galveston Bay. Specifically,
material was placed into the bay approximately 13 feet north of the northern
shoreline, and approximately 9 feet east of the eastern shoreline. This unauthorized
fill covers approximately 0.06 acres of shallow-water habitat. The applicant
proposes to retain the fill for shoreline erosion protection to maintain piling
foundation and to ensure safety of building structure and improvements. In
addition to the after-the-fact work, the applicant requests authorization
to place fill to the east of the existing restaurant parking lot to provide
shoreline protection and to extend the shoreline waterward, so that an existing
sewage field and pipeline are a minimum distance of 75 feet from the shoreline,
as required by Galveston County sewage codes. The applicant proposes to place
an 8-foot-wide strip of riprap within the bay below mean high tide, and then
to place fill in the area extending from the proposed riprap to the north
curb of Harborside Drive. The area proposed to be filled contains approximately
0.3 acres of shallow-water habitat, 0.20 acres of freshwater wetlands, and
0.05 acres of tidally-influenced wetlands--this information has not been verified.
CCC Project No.: 03-0040-F1; Type of Application: U.S.A.C.E. permit application

project may be conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (commission or TCEQ) under
30 TAC Chapter 122 is rescinding the compliance assurance monitoring (CAM)
general operating permit (GOP) numbers one and two, and the periodic monitoring
GOP numbers one and two. In a deficiency notice regarding the commission's
Federal Operating Permit Program, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) stated that the commission's use of GOPs to implement periodic
monitoring and CAM did not comply with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Part 70. The basis of EPA's position was that the monitoring GOPs did not
contain all the requirements for 40 CFR Part 70 permits, as set forth in 40
CFR §70.6. The commission adopted changes to Chapter 122 to address the
deficiency notice. Since the commission eliminated the monitoring GOP process,
the executive director will no longer issue monitoring GOPs. Subsequently,
this notice rescinds CAM GOP numbers one and two, and periodic monitoring
GOP numbers one and two. Federal operating permit holders and applicants shall
follow the new CAM and periodic monitoring procedures and schedules contained
in Chapter 122. Please note that CAM and periodic monitoring guidance is available
on the TCEQ Web site at
http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/permitting/airperm/
opd/pdfsub/forms_guide.htm.
The rescission of CAM GOP numbers one and two and periodic monitoring GOP
numbers one and two was subject to the procedural requirements of §122.506,
which included a 30-day public comment period. Any person who may have been
affected by the rescission of either CAM or periodic monitoring GOPs numbers
one and two had the opportunity to request a notice and comment hearing on
the subject rescission during the 30-day public notice comment period. The
30-day comment period began October 25, 2002 and concluded on November 25,
2002. No comments were received and there was no request for a notice and
comment hearing.
To inquire about this determination to rescind the CAM and periodic monitoring
GOPs, contact Mr. Steven Hagood at (512) 239-1580 or by e-mail at

The executive director of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ or commission) hereby issues public notice of intent to perform a removal
action, as provided by Texas Health and Safety Code (THSC), §361.133,
for the Crim Hammett state Superfund site (the site). The site, including
all land, structures, appurtenances, and other improvements, is approximately
3.6 acres located at 801 Highway 64 in Henderson, Rusk County, Texas. The
site also includes any areas where hazardous substances have come to be located
as a result, either directly or indirectly, of releases of hazardous substances
from the site.
The site was owned by members of the Crim family from September 1928 to
April 1990, at which time it was sold to Mr. Hammett, who learned of the site
contamination when he attempted to re-sell the property. The contaminants
of concern at the site are lead, benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylenes
(total). In reviewing the data, it is believed the source of the lead contamination
comes from the battery chips used as fill material when the previous owner
filled in a portion of a lake at the site. The source of the benzene, ethylbenzene,
toluene, and xylenes (total) is a leaking underground storage tank. Both sources
are a threat to the groundwater beneath the site.
The site is proposed for listing under THSC, Chapter 361, Subchapter F.
The site removal can be completed without extensive investigation and planning
and will achieve a significant cost reduction for the site. To ensure that
the battery chips do not impact the groundwater in the future, an excavation
and removal of the battery chips will be completed. The removal action will
also include a removal of the leaking underground storage tank and soil to
minimize the impact on the groundwater. These removal objectives can be achieved
at the site without a detailed and extensive design process. Thus, the significant
costs associated with that process can be averted.
A portion of the records for this site is available for review during regular
business hours at the Rusk County Library, 106 East Main Street, Henderson
Texas 75652-3117, (903) 657-8557. Copies of the complete public record file

The site also includes any areas where hazardous substances have come to be

lead, copper, cadmium, barium, manganese, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc).
The groundwater and surface water have not yet been impacted.
The site is proposed for listing under 30 TAC Chapter 350, Subchapter F.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), under 30 TAC Chapter
116, is providing an opportunity for public comment in order to receive comments
concerning a proposed amendment to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources
authorized by 30 TAC §116.119.
The TCEQ received a request to add crude oil pipeline segment isolation
valve sites to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources. Section 116.119
allows for amendments to the list by the executive director for facilities
which do not require authorization from the TCEQ. Since pipelines carry crude
oil, refinery raw materials, fuel, and lubricating products normally handled
in bulk volumes through the same pipeline, the TCEQ evaluated other liquids
and gases. These liquids and gases include: sweet and sour crude oil, sweet
and sour natural gas, and liquid petroleum gas. The TCEQ also evaluated the
following commercial bulk fuel and lubricating oil refinery products: kerosene,
diesel, fuel oil, lubricating oils, and gasoline with up to 10% benzene and
up to 15% methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE).
Pipeline isolation valve sites which meet the following four criteria and
are one of the liquids or gases listed as follows are de minimis. The criteria
are: 1) the sites may have a maximum of three valves; 2) the site is not otherwise
authorized for air emissions; 3) the site is located more than 50 feet from
any other stationary volatile organic compound source of the de minimis pollutant;
and 4) the pipeline does not contain a pollutant specified in an area on the
TCEQ air pollutant watch list. The liquids or gases are: gasoline ≤10%
by weight benzene and ≤15% by weight MTBE; diesel; fuel oil; liquid petroleum
gas; sweet crude oils; lubricating oils; weathered/processed crude; water/light
oil; sweet natural gas; sour natural gas ≤23,100 parts per million by volume
hydrogen sulfide; sour crude ≤39,300 parts per million by weight hydrogen
sulfide; and mixtures of the previously listed items.
The addition or deletion of a category of facilities, sources, or groups
of facilities or sources to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources is
subject to the procedural requirements of 30 TAC §116.119, which include
a 30-day public comment period. The List of De Minimis Facilities and Sources
is located on the TCEQ Web site at:
http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/permitting/airperm
/nsr_permits/ demlist.pdf.
Any person who may be affected by the addition
or deletion of a category of facilities, sources, or groups of facilities
or sources to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources has the opportunity
to provide written comments.
Comments may be mailed to Mr. Steven Hagood, Texas Commission on Environmental

Notice is hereby given by the Texas Department of Health (department),

Number L01937 issued to Iso-Tex, Inc., located at 1511 County Road 129 (FM
2351) in Alvin, Texas, in Brazoria County, near Friendswood, Texas.
The issuance of amendment number 38 corrects the address of the licensee's
facility at site number 000.
The department has determined that the amendment of the license, 25 Texas
Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 289, and the documentation submitted by
the licensee provide reasonable assurance that the licensee's radioactive
waste facility is sited, designed, operated, and will be decommissioned and
closed in accordance with the requirements of 25 TAC, Chapter 289; the amendment
of the license will not be inimical to the health and safety of the public
or the environment; and the activity represented by the amendment of the license
will not have a significant effect on the human environment.
This notice affords the opportunity for a public hearing upon written request
within 30 days of the date of publication of this notice by a person affected
as required by Texas Health and Safety Code, §401.116 and as set out
in 25 TAC, §289.205(f). A "person affected" is defined as a person who
demonstrates that the person has suffered or will suffer actual injury or
economic damage and, if the person is not a local government, is (a) a resident
of a county, or a county adjacent to a county, in which the radioactive material
is or will be located; or (b) doing business or has a legal interest in land
in the county or adjacent county.
A person affected may request a hearing by writing Mr. Richard A. Ratliff,
P.E., Chief, Bureau of Radiation Control, 1100 West 49th Street, Austin, Texas
78756-3189. Any request for a hearing must contain the name and address of
the person who considers himself affected by this action, identify the subject
license, specify the reasons why the person considers himself affected, and
state the relief sought. If the person is represented by an agent, the name
and address of the agent must be stated. Should no request for a public hearing
be timely filed, the agency action will be final.
A public hearing, if requested, shall be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 401, the Administrative
Procedure Act (Chapter 2001, Texas Government Code), the formal hearing procedures
of the department (25 TAC §1.21 et seq.) and the procedures of the State
Office of Administrative Hearings (1 TAC, Chapter 155).

Notice is given to the public of the filing with the Public Utility Commission
of Texas a joint application for sale, transfer, or merger on February 7,
2003, pursuant to the Public Utility Regulatory Act, Texas Utilities Code
Annotated §37.154 (Vernon 1998 and Supplement 2003).
Docket Style and Number: Joint Application of AEP Texas North Company and
LCRA Transmission Services Corporation to Transfer Certificate Rights and
for Approval of Transfer of Facilities in Crane, Crockett, Pecos, and Upton
Counties, Docket Number 27370.
The Application: The application seeks approval for AEP North to transfer
certificate rights concerning three transmission facilities and associated
certificate rights to LCRA TSC. AEP North owns three 69 kV transmission lines
that are being rebuilt for 138 kV transmission service in order to accommodate
the transfer of wind-powered generation from the McCamey area of West Texas.
Except for the allowances in retaining partial structures for existing distribution
underbuild, the existing 69 kV lines are being removed and retired, and the
rebuilding of the lines will occur as activity for which a certificate of
convenience and necessity (CCN) is not required under P.U.C. Substantive Rule §25.101(c)(2)(C).
These projects are under or nearly under construction and are expected to
be completed between February 2003 and April/May 2003. The three 69 kV transmission
lines, located in Crane, Crockett, Pecos, and Upton counties are: (1) the
13.4 mile 69 kV transmission line from the North McCamey Substation to the
Tippett Substation; (2) the 9.92 mile 69 kV transmission line from the Tippett
Substation to the West Yates Tap; and (3) the 22 mile 69 kV transmission line
from the North McCamey Substation to the Crane/McElroy Cut-In. Because of
the recent addition of significant wind-powered generating capacity in West
Texas, all three lines must be rebuilt for 138 kV operation.
Persons who wish to intervene in the proceeding or comment upon the action
sought should contact the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326,
