Public Hearing Notice
The Texas Water Commission will conduct public hearings beginning at 1:30 p. m. 
and 7 p.m., November 20, 1991, Houston-Galveston Area Council Office, 3555 
Timmons, Suite 500, Houston, in order to receive testimony concerning the waste 
load evaluation report for Buffalo Bayou (Segments 1013 and 1014). Both public 
hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the Texas Water Code,  sec.26.011 
and sec.26.037.
The primary purpose of a waste load evaluation is to define treatment levels for 
wastewater dischargers to a segment and specify other program actions that need 
to be taken in order to attain and maintain the water quality standards, 
describe nonpoint source pollution from areas tributary to a segment, and 
identify treatment level alternatives using receiving stream water quality 
simulations. A section containing recommended treatment levels and other 
proposed recommended actions is also included.
The public is encouraged to attend one of the hearings and to present relevant 
evidence or opinions concerning the waste load evaluation. Written testimony 
which is submitted prior to or during the public hearing will be included in the 
record. The Commission would appreciate receiving a copy of all written 
testimony at least five days before the hearing. Copies of written testimony and 
questions concerning the public hearing should be addressed to Dale White, Texas 
Water Commission, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or call (512) 463-
8467.
A limited number of copies of the draft waste load evaluation are available for 
review in the Texas Water Commission Library, Room B-20 of the Stephen F. Austin 
Building, 1700 North Congress Avenue in Austin. A copy of the report may be 
obtained upon written request to Dale White, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 
78711-3087 or by calling (512) 463-8467. There are no charges for the pre-
hearing draft copies of the waste load evaluation; however, a fee will be 
charged for the finalized post-hearing copies.
The date selected for this hearing is intended to comply with deadlines set by 
statute and regulation. Any publication or receipt of this notice less than 45 
calendar days prior to the hearing date is due to the necessity of scheduling 
the hearing on the date selected.
