Office of the Attorney General
Notice of Settlement of Hazardous Waste Enforcement Case 
Notice is hereby given by the State of Texas of the following proposed 
resolution of a hazardous waste enforcement action under the Texas Solid Waste 
Disposal Act and the Texas Water Code. The State of Texas, on behalf of the 
Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, has reached an agreement with 
Coastal Refining & Marketing, Inc. to resolve Coastal's liability to the State 
for violations of the Solid Waste Disposal Act and the Texas Water Code at 
Coastal facilities located at 1300 Cantwell Lane, Corpus Christi, Nueces County 
(the "Cantwell Facility"), and 5441 Up River Road, Corpus Christi, Nueces County 
(the "Quintana Facility") (collectively referred to as "the Facility"). 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: State of Texas v. Coastal Refining & Marketing, Inc., 
Cause Number 92-1727, in the District Court of Travis County, 345th Judicial 
District.
Nature of the Settlement: The State of Texas proposes to settle the liability of 
Coastal Refining & Marketing, Inc. ("Coastal") for hazardous waste and 
groundwater violations at the Cantwell Facility documented by TNRCC 
investigators on April 8-9, 1991; April 28-29, 1994; May 2, 3, 6, 19, and 24, 
1994; January 20 and 23, 1995; April 28-29, 1995; and May 8-9, 1995; and at the 
Quintana Facility documented by TNRCC investigators on April 8-9, 1991; April 
28-29, 1994; May 2, 3, 6, 19, 24, 1994; January 20, and 23, 1995; April 28-29, 
1995; and May 8-9, 1995; and certain groundwater violations described in 
paragraph 10 of the proposed Agreed Final Judgment. 
Proposed Settlement: The proposed settlement will resolve Coastal's liability as 
follows: 
Injunctive Relief: The main components of the proposed settlement require 
Coastal to continue to operate the certain interim remedial systems previously 
established at the Facility. The purpose of the interim remedial systems is to 
remove, to the maximum extent practicable, phase- separated hydrocarbons and to 
contain and prevent the migration of phase-separated and associated dissolved-
phase contaminant plumes within or underlying the Facility. Coastal shall 
continue to operate the interim remedial systems until a more comprehensive 
remedy (described as follows) is implemented. 
Coastal shall also (1) conduct a comprehensive groundwater investigation to 
determine the horizontal and vertical extent of dissolved-phase and phase-
separated hydrocarbon plumes and of any releases of hazardous constituents 
within certain areas of the Facility and specified off-site areas; (2) develop 
and implement remediation actions for groundwater contamination within certain 
areas of the Facility and specified off-site areas; (3) develop an inspection 
program to identify sources of hydrocarbon and hazardous constituent releases at 
the Facility; and (4) develop and implement a Groundwater Monitoring Program 
("GMP") to provide for continued operation, maintenance, and development of a 
groundwater monitoring system for the certain areas of the Facility and 
specified off-site areas. 
Coastal shall also conduct a Corrective Measures Study ("CMS") to evaluate the 
ability of available technologies to remediate all contamination that exceeds 
certain remediation goals established by the TNRCC after the interim remedial 
system is no longer effective. Coastal shall implement a Corrective Measures 
Implementation ("CMI") Work Plan if it is determined that an interim remedial 
system cannot remove all the contamination to required levels. The objective of 
the CMI Work Plan is to detail the design, construction, operation, maintenance, 
and performance monitoring of the corrective measure(s) selected as a result of 
the CMS. 
Coastal also shall develop and implement a remedial investigation and baseline 
risk assessment ("RI/BLRA") for soils in specified areas of the Facility; a 
soils corrective measures study ("SCMS") for specified Facility locations and 
other spill areas; a plan for a RI/BLRA of Coastal's diesel spill in the 
ACC/Port Area; and a detailed schedule for the implementation of the Risk 
Reduction Rules for specified areas of the Facility and other documented spill 
areas. The purpose of the BLRA is to assess potential risks to human health and 
the environment due to petroleum hydrocarbon spills at the refinery, and to 
identify any areas of concern within the tank farms. The purpose of the CMS is 
to propose actions for areas of concern which are based on the results of the 
BLRA. 
Supplemental Environmental Project: The State of Texas will remit a portion of 
the civil penalty assessed in the Agreed Final Judgment on the condition that 
Coastal implement the following Supplemental Environmental Projects: (1) 
contribute $20,000 to the City of Corpus Fire Department's Hazardous Materials 
Response Team for the purchase of certain equipment; (2) expend at least 
$1,480,000 to purchase property, both residential and commercial, within 800 
feet of the Facility property line or in the Kaler Addition on Cantwell Lane and 
the Whelan Addition on Up River Road and Navigation Boulevard within two years 
of the Effective Date of the proposed Agreed Final Judgment; and/or (3) expend 
at least $1,480,000 to (i) replace specified underground lines with above-ground 
lines or modify the lines so that electronic inspection pigs can be run through 
the lines at periodic intervals to determine line conditions; (ii) replace the 
underground dock loading lines with above-ground lines in the marshy area 
extending 1200 feet south from Dock Number 4; (iii) install a Vapor Recovery 
System for product loading at Dock Numbers 7 and 11; (iv) install low NOx 
burners on the Crude-Vacuum heaters and SMR heater; or (4) a combination of (2) 
and (3) in the amount of at least $1,480,000.
Penalties and Attorney's Fees: Coastal shall pay the State of Texas $490,000 in 
civil penalties and $10,000 in attorney's fees. 
For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete proposed 
settlement should be reviewed. Requests for copies of the proposed Agreed Final 
Judgment and written comments on the proposed settlement 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,

Provisionally-Issued Temporary Permits to Appropriate State Water
Permits issued during the period of January 21, 1998 
Application Number TA-7912 by Big Creek Construction, LTD for diversion of 5 
acre-feet in a one year period for industrial (roadway construction) use. Water 
may be diverted from Mustang Creek, Trinity River Basin, approximately 9 miles 
southwest of centerville, Leon County Texas at the crossing of IH 45 and Mustang 
Creek. 
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 Notice
Senate Bill 370, 75th Legislature, 1997, abolished the Texas Turnpike Authority 
and created the Texas Turnpike Authority division of the Texas Department of 
Transportation. This new division is governed by a board of directors. 
Additionally, Senate Bill 370 did not continue the rules of the Texas Turnpike 
Authority, codified in Title 43, Part II, of the Texas Administrative Code as 
rules of the Board. Transportation Code, sec.361.042, requires the Board to 
adopt rules for the regulation of its affairs and the conduct of its business. 
At a January 13, 1998 meeting the board passed a resolution affirming that the 
administrative rules of the former Texas Turnpike Authority have no force or 
effect as rules of the board or any other state agency. By publication of this 
notice, the board respectfully requests the Texas Register Division to remove 
the rules of the former Texas Turnpike Authority as they currently exist, and 
codify all future administrative rules promulgated by the Board in new Chapters 
beginning with number 50 of Title 43, Texas Administrative Code, Part II.
