Notice of Settlement of Natural Resource Damage Claim
Notice is hereby given by the State of Texas of the following proposed 
resolution of a claim for natural resource damages under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and applicable state 
law. The State of Texas, on behalf of its Natural Resources Trustees, has 
reached an agreement with Voluntary Purchasing Groups, Inc. ("VPG") to resolve 
VPG's liability to the State for damages to natural resources in the State 
arising from the release of hazardous substances from a former VPG facility in 
Commerce, Texas. The Attorney General will consider any written comments 
received on the settlement within 30 days of the date of publication of this 
notice. 
Case Title and Court: In Re: Voluntary Purchasing Groups, Inc., Debtor; Case 
Number 96-31549-11; United States Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of Texas, 
Paris Division. 
Nature of the Settlement: The State of Texas proposes to settle the liability of 
VPG, the debtor in the above-referenced matter. VPG and certain predecessors 
operated a pesticide formulation and packaging operation in Commerce, Texas, 
from the early 1950's until approximately 1970. Releases from VPG's facility 
caused the contamination of its Site and surrounding areas, including Sayle 
Creek, a natural resource of the State. 
Proposed Settlement: The proposed settlement will resolve VPG's liability for 
damaging the Sayle Creek resource, as follows: 
Injunctive Relief: The proposed settlement, requires VPG to construct a 
Restoration Project composed of not less than 11.2 acres of freshwater wetlands 
and 4.5 acres of riparian habitat. The Restoration Project will be located 
adjacent to an existing waterway and connected to the waterway in such a manner 
that the waterway periodically supplies water to the constructed wetlands and at 
such time provides for the opportunity for ingress and egress of aquatic 
organisms. However, the Restoration Project site shall not be adjacent to or 
connected directly to Sayle Creek. The wetlands component of the project shall 
be comprised of a complex of interconnected open water and vegetated marsh 
areas. The wetlands shall be composed of multiple (greater than three) 
permanently flooded open water ponds adding up to a total of 2-3 acres, with the 
remainder of the area being made up of depressional wetlands and shelves that 
are connected via multiple channels to the open water ponds. Wetland areas shall 
be planted with multiple species of high, emergent and floating wetland 
vegetation indigenous to or compatible with the local area. The required 
riparian areas shall be interspersed around and throughout the wetlands in a 
logical pattern that maximizes the opportunity for wildlife access and cover. 
Riparian vegetation shall be composed of a variety of ground cover, mid-story 
and over-story species indigenous to or compatible with the local area that 
provide beneficial services for wildlife and shall include hardwood tree 
species. VPG shall pay all costs associated with site acquisition and the 
design, planning, construction, maintenance, and monitoring of the Restoration 
Project, up to $800,000. 
For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete proposed 
settlement should be reviewed. Requests for copies of the judgment and written 
comments on the judgment should be directed to Albert M. Bronson, Assistant 
Attorney General, Office of the Texas Attorney General, P.O. Box 12548, Austin, 
Texas 78711-2548; telephone (512) 463-2012, fax (512) 320-0911. Written comments 
must be received within 30 days of publication of this notice to be considered.

Provisionally-Issued Temporary Permits to Appropriate State Water for the week 
ending June 20, 1997.
Temporary Permit Number TP-7827 issued to S.F.W. Construction, Inc. for 
authorization to divert and use from Wa1nut Creek, tributary of the Little 
River, tributary of the Brazos River, Brazos River Basin, one acre-foot of water 
for a six-month period of time at a maximum diversion rate of .67 cfs (300 gpm) 
from the Walnut Creek crossing of SH6, 14 miles west of Franklin, Robertson 
County, Texas for industrial purposes (highway construction on State Highway 6). 
Temporary Permit Number TP-7828 issued to Brown & Root, Inc. for authorization 
to divert and use from the Elm Fork Trinity River, tributary of the Trinity 
River, Trinity River Basin, ten acre-feet of water at a maximum diversion rate 
of .4 cfs (200 gpm) just east of Interstate Highway 35, approximately 21 miles 
southeast of Denton in Denton County, Texas for industrial purposes. The 
Executive Director of the TNRCC has reviewed each application for the permits 
listed and determined that sufficient water is available at the proposed point 
of diversion to satisfy the requirements of the application as well as all 
existing water rights. Any person or persons who own water rights or who are 
lawful users of water on a stream affected by the temporary permits listed above 
and who believe that the diversion of water under the temporary permit will 
impair their rights may file a complaint with the TNRCC. The complaint can be 
filed at any point after the application has been filed with the TNRCC and the 
time the permit expires. The Executive Director shall make an immediate 
investigation to determine whether there is a reasonable basis for such a 
complaint. If a preliminary investigation determines that diversion under the 
temporary permit will cause injury to the complainant the commission shall 
notify the holder that the permit shall be canceled without notice and hearing. 
No further diversions may be made pending a full hearing as provided in Section 
295.174. Complaints should be addressed to Water Rights Permitting Section,

Public Meeting Time Change
The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission 
(TNRCC) has issued a public notice of the selection of a proposed remedial 
action for a State Superfund site which constitutes an imminent and substantial 
endangerment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into 
the environment. The notice is being published in the Houston Chronicle on June 
15, 1997. 
In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) sec.335.349(a), concerning 
requirements for the remedial action and the Texas Health and Safety Code, 
Chapter 361.187 Solid Waste Disposal Act, concerning the proposed remedial 
action, a public meeting regarding the proposed remedial action for the Houston 
Scrap State Superfund site must be held at least 45 days after publishing a 
notice in the Texas Register and a local newspaper. 
The public meeting is scheduled at the Eva Alice McCrane Library, Kashmere 
Gardens Branch, 5411 Pardee, Houston, Texas on August 12, 1997 at 6:00 p.m. In 
the June 13, 1997, issue of the Texas Register (22 TexReg 5800) the meeting time 
was published as 7:00 p.m.; however the meeting will now begin at 6:00 p.m. to 
allow time for a second meeting at 7:15 (see additional pubic notice in this 
issue). 
The site for which a remedy has been selected, the Houston Scrap State Superfund 
site, was originally proposed for listing on the State Registry of Superfund 
sites at a public meeting in Pasadena, Texas on November 19, 1987. The Houston 
Scrap site originally appeared on the State Registry of Superfund sites in the 
January 22, 1988, issue of the Texas Register (13 TexReg 427-428). 
Houston Scrap State Superfund Site is located at 3799 Jensen Drive in Houston, 
Texas on approximately 20 acres of land just south of Loop 610 and west of 
Highway 59 in Houston, Texas. The former office area is located on approximately 
two acres and is bounded by Porter Street to the north, Cherry Street to the 
west, Cavalcade Street to the south, and Jensen Drive to the east. The main 
scrap facility is on 18 acres. The main scrap facility tract is roughly 
rectangular and consists of six abandoned buildings and two stockpiles of soil. 
The remainder of the property is undeveloped. 
A remedial investigation was initiated and completed in October 1996. The 
results of the investigation and laboratory analyses show that the primary soil 
contaminants at the Houston Scrap site are metals associated with battery 
recycling. The metals contamination is generally confined to the upper six 
inches of soil. The highest lead concentrations were in the battery recycling 
buildings. However, due to the temporary storage of batteries and processed 
battery casing mounds around the site, elevated levels of metals are found 
throughout the site. Other contaminants found in ground-water samples were lead, 
antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, and nickel. These 
exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Levels in at least one monitor well. The TNRCC 
is proposing the on-site containment of contaminated soil and materials at the 
Houston Scrap State Superfund site. The soil will be excavated and consolidated 
on-site to reduce the surface area of the containment cell. The soil containment 
area will be designed to minimize leaching of the soil contaminants to the 
ground water and will be covered by a cap that will eliminate surface exposure. 
Groundwater monitoring will be conducted to evaluate any possible impact of the 
containment cell on the groundwater at the Houston Scrap site. Groundwater 
remediation will not be addressed at this time.
The public meeting will be legislative in nature and not a contested case 
hearing within the meaning of Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001. 
Persons desiring to submit or make comments on the proposed remedial action, the 
facility or the identity of the potentially responsible parties, are encouraged 
to do so at the public meeting. Or, public comment ends on August 12, 1997 at 
the close of the public meeting. Written comments should be submitted at least 
10 days prior to the public meeting to Mr. Michael Garrigan, Superfund 
Investigation Section, MC 143, Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, 
P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. 
The public records/site repository for this site are available for public review 
during regular business hours at the Texas Natural Resource Conservation 
Commission, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building D, North Entrance, Austin, Texas 
78753, (512) 239-2927, or at the Eva Alice McCrane Library, Kashmere Gardens

Public Notice 
The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission 
(TNRCC) has issued a public notice of the selection of a proposed remedial 
action for a State Superfund site which constitutes an imminent and substantial 
endangerment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into 
the environment. The notice is being published in the Houston Chronicle on June 
29, 1997. 
In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) sec.335.349(a), concerning 
requirements for the remedial action and the Texas Health and Safety Code, 
Chapter 361.187 Solid Waste Disposal Act, concerning the proposed remedial 
action, a public meeting regarding the proposed remedial action for the Jensen 
Drive Scrap State Superfund site must be held at least 45 days after publishing 
a notice in the Texas Register and a local newspaper. 
The public meeting is scheduled at the Eva Alice McCrane Library, Kashmere 
Gardens Branch, 5411 Pardee, Houston, Texas on August 12, 1997 at 7:15 p.m. The 
site for which a remedy has been selected, the Jensen Drive Scrap State 
Superfund site, was originally proposed for listing on the State Registry of 
Superfund sites at a public meeting in Houston, Texas on October 30, 1990. The 
Jensen Drive Scrap site originally appeared on the State Registry of Superfund 
sites in the September 25, 1990, issue of the Texas Register (15 TexReg 5624). 
Jensen Drive Scrap State Superfund Site is located at 3603 Jensen Drive in 
Houston, Texas on approximately 3.8 acres of land just south of Loop 610 and 
west of Highway 59 in Houston, Texas. Jensen Drive Scrap is located within a 
small industrial area bordered by a residential area. The site is bordered on 
the north by a truck and trailer body shop and on the south by an automobile 
salvage business. Located to the east of the site is a truck and tractor 
mechanical service and a bank. On the west side of the site is an active 
railroad line and abandoned industrial warehouses. An industrial tank farm is 
located approximately 1/4 mile southwest of the site. The Houston Scrap, North 
Cavalcade and South Cavalcade Superfund sites are located within one mile 
northwest of the site.  
A remedial investigation was completed in August 1996. The results of the 
investigation and laboratory analyses show that the primary soil contaminants at 
the Jensen Drive Scrap site are lead, arsenic and polychlorinated biphenyls 
(PCBs) associated with transformer reclamation. The lead, arsenic and PCB 
contamination is generally confined to the upper three to four feet of soil. The 
highest lead and arsenic concentrations were located north of the existing 
building in the southwest corner of the site. The highest PCB level in the soil 
was located in the central portion on the site near the previous location of the 
metal crusher. 
Initial groundwater sampling results in 1996 indicated detectable concentrations 
of lead and PCBs in only two wells at the site. Lead was detected at 0.2 mg/l in 
both MW-5 and MW-6 and PCBs were detected at .00082 mg/l in MW-4 and .003 in MW-
2. The second sampling event in 1997 indicated no detectable concentrations of 
lead or PCB's in any of the monitor wells at the site. Arsenic was not detected 
in either of the groundwater sampling events. 
The TNRCC is proposing the on-site containment of contaminated soil and 
materials at the Jensen Drive Scrap State Superfund site. The soil will be 
excavated and consolidated on-site, in an engineered containment cell, to reduce 
the areal extent of the contaminated soil. The soil containment cell will be 
designed to minimize leaching of the soil contaminants to the groundwater and 
will be covered by a cap that will eliminate surface exposure. Groundwater 
monitoring will be conducted to evaluate any possible impact of the containment 
cell on the groundwater at the Jensen Drive Scrap site. 
The public meeting will be legislative in nature and not a contested case 
hearing within the meaning of Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001. 
Persons desiring to submit or make comments on the proposed remedial action, the 
facility or the identity of the potentially responsible parties, are encouraged 
to do so at the public meeting. The public comment ends on August 12, 1997 at 
the close of the public meeting. Written comments should be submitted at least 
ten days prior to the public meeting to Mr. Dean Perkins, Superfund 
Investigation Section, MC 143, Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, 
P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087.

Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services
Request for Information
The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services announces a request 
for information (RFI) to obtain input from currently licensed residential 
childcare providers who are providing 24-hour childcare to children in the state 
of Texas. This RFI describes a pilot project for the competitive procurement of 
contracted childcare and related services for children in PRS conservatorship.
Brief Description of Pilot: The Department wishes to establish a pilot in one 
region of the state to test the provision of services in a system of care which 
provides for all levels of care and aftercare services, and is funded in a way 
which differs from the current rate methodology. The RFI requests provider input 
on the ways in which this system might be designed and funded. A sample RFP is 
included with the RFI in order to allow providers to have information from which 
to respond to the questions; however, this RFP is only a sample draft and is not 
the RFP which will ultimately be proposed. The final RFP can only be written 
after input is received from providers in responses to the RFI. The RFP is 
scheduled for release no earlier than December 1997.  
Eligible Responses: All currently licensed residential childcare providers who 
are providing 24-hour childcare to children in the state of Texas may respond to 
the RFI. You do not have to respond to the RFI in order to bid on the subsequent 
RFP. You do not have to intend to bid on the RFP in order to have input into the 
RFI process. Historically underutilized businesses are encouraged to respond. 
Closing Date: Responses to the RFI will be accepted until July 31, 1997, 4:00 
p.m., Central Daylight Standard Time. Responses submitted after that time will 
not be accepted. 
Offerors' Conference: An offeror's conference will not be held for the RFI. (An 
offeror's conference will be conducted following the official release of the 
RFP.) Any questions which you may have concerning the substance of the RFI or 
the RFP should be included in your response to the RFI. 
Selection and Evaluation: There is no selection or evaluation component to this 
RFI. All responses received before the closing date and time will be considered 
during the revision of the draft RFP. 
RFI Packets: The RFI packets will be mailed to all current PRS-contracted 
providers of residential childcare services. If you have changed your mailing 
address in the last month, or if you do not receive a packet by July 3, 1997, 
please contact the contact person listed below to request a copy. Other

Railroad Commission of Texas
Correction of Errors
The Railroad Commission of Texas adopted amendments to sec.3.26 and sec.3.27. 
The rules appeared in the June 13, 1997, issue of the Texas Register, (22 TexReg 
5747). 
On page 5748, sec.3.26(a)(2), last sentence, which concludes "...before the gas 
leave the lease." should conclude "...before the gas leaves the lease."
On page 5749, sec.3.26(b)(2)(A)(iii), the phrase "well test conducted quarterly" 
should be "well tests conducted quarterly".
On page 5749, sec.3.27(e), the spacing/indention is incorrect. The phrase 
"...(b) or (c) of this section..." should follow immediately after 
"...commingling of gas or oil and gas described in subsections (a)," without 
indention or extra spacing.
On page 5749, sec.3.27(h), the phrase "...based on semi-annual test..." should 
read "...based on semi-annual tests..."

Texas Water Development Board
Notice of Hearing
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) will conduct a public hearing beginning 
at 10:00 a.m., July 17, 1997, Room 118, Stephen F. Austin Building, 1700 North 
Congress, Austin, Texas 78711 on the proposed 1997 update of the State Water 
Plan, Water for Texas, Today and Tomorrow. The purpose of the hearing is to seek 
broad public input, consider changed conditions since the last update of the 
Plan, and to determine whether the Plan gives adequate consideration to the 
protection of existing water rights in the state, and modes and procedures for 
the equitable adjustment of water rights affected by the Plan. 
The last update of the State Water Plan was in 1992. Since that time, the TWDB 
staff has been working closely with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation 
Commission, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and other interested 
parties on the current proposed update of the Plan. Preceded by a series of 
public meetings in December, 1996, a Legislative Summary of State Water Plan 
findings was adopted by the TWDB in January, 1997. In June, 1997, Board staff 
released a larger draft version of the amended Plan for public comment, 
containing the detailed data, methods, and findings abstracted in the previous 
Legislative Summary. The public hearing will seek further public input on the 
development of this update to the State Water Plan prior to its consideration 
for Board adoption at its August, 1997 meeting. 
Interested persons are encouraged to attend the hearing and to present relevant 
and material comments on the proposed update to the State Water Plan. In 
addition, persons may submit written comments before the previously listed date 
July 17, 1997 to David Meesey, Assistant Water Plan Manager, Texas Water 
Development Board, P.O. Box 13231, Austin, Texas 78711-3231. Copies of the 
proposed State Water Plan document will be available on request from the 
previous address listed or by calling (512) 936-0852. 
The hearing is being conducted pursuant to the Texas Water Code, sec.16.054 and
