jurisdictional waters, and attach to a cluster of pilings designed to secure
the intake manifold. The discharge line would extend perpendicular from the
shoreline, approximately 30 feet into USACE jurisdictional waters to a depth
of 19" below Mean Sea Level. The discharge line would terminate with an upturned
PVC elbow and a section of screen-covered PVC extending 6" above the substrate
surface to prevent bottom scouring. The 320-foot intake lines would be installed
using a water-jet trenching method to a depth of 24" below the substrate using
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's Best Management Practice guidelines.
The intake lines would traverse and impact approximately 175 square feet of
sea grasses consisting of

sequence or vertical (top to bottom) sequence of letters within the CASHWORD

word space. Players must match all of the play symbol letters to the identical
key play symbols in a possible complete word in order to complete the word.
If the letters revealed form three (3) or more complete words each of which

presentation of proper identification, make payment of the amount due the
claimant and physically void the ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer
may, but is not, in some cases, required to pay a $100 or $500 ticket. In
the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery
Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant
on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by
the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount
due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and
the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of

presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more,
the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a
rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated
by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be
notified promptly.
C. As an alternative method of claiming a "CASHWORD" Instant Game prize,
the claimant must sign the winning ticket, thoroughly complete a claim form,

Public Notice - Availability of Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Pursuant to Title 43, Texas Administrative Code, §2.43(c)(9)(A)(i),
the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is advising the public of the
availability of the approved draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for
the proposed construction of the Trinity Parkway reliever route from the IH-35E/SH-183
interchange to US-175/SH-310 interchange in the City of Dallas, Dallas County,
Texas. The proposed project is being developed jointly by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and
the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA).
The corridor is approximately 9 miles long and includes the Dallas Floodway
portion of the Trinity River located on the west side of downtown Dallas.
The proposed project involves the proposed construction of a four- to six-lane
controlled access tollway. This project would assist in reducing local, regional,
national, and international traffic congestion on IH-35E and IH-30 in the
City of Dallas and improve mobility in the north central Texas region. The
social, economic, and environmental impacts of the proposed project have been
analyzed in the DEIS.
The No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1) and six build alternatives (Alternatives
2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4, and 5) are evaluated in the DEIS. Each build alternative
is approximately 9-miles long and begins at IH-35E/SH-183 and ends at US-175/SH-310.
Alternatives 2A and 2B generally follow existing Irving/Industrial Boulevard.
Alternatives 3A, 3B, 4, and 5 generally follow along the east and/or west
Dallas Floodway levees.
The proposed action has the potential to impact (beneficial and/or adverse)
land use, single-family residents, businesses, socio-economic conditions,
wetlands and jurisdictional waters of the U.S., floodplains, water quality,
air quality, cultural resources, and hazardous/regulated materials. Right-of-way
requirements for the build alternatives range from approximately 252 to 495
acres.
