| Agenda: | NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PRAIRIELANDS GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT To be held 9:00 AM, Monday, July 21, 2025 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to all interested persons within the Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District, consisting of Ellis, Hill, Johnson, and Somervell counties: That the Board of Directors of the Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District (PGCD) will hold hearing(s) on applications for Exceptions to Minimum Spacing Requirements by the below listed parties on Monday, July 21, 2025, beginning at 9:00 AM at the District board room located at 208 Kimberly Drive, Cleburne, Texas 76031. _________________________________________________________________________________ Applicant/Owner: Undine Texas, LLC (Crowley II Acre Subdivision), 17681 Telge Road, Cypress, TX 77429 Type of Application: Exception to Well Spacing Requirements Location of well: 32.537158, -97.448991 LOT 4 BLK A (CENTRAL PT) CROWLEY II ACRES Acres:1.0100 Johnson County Description of Request: Undine Texas, LLC (Crowley II Acre Subdivision) is seeking an exception to the District’s Well Spacing requirements under District Rule 4.7 in order to operate a new water well to provide potable water to residents of the Crowley II Acre Subdivision located in Johnson County at 11155 CR 1015, Crowley, TX 76036. Applicant received approval for OP-21-015 in October 2021 for the registration, drilling, and construction of a “New Well” (ID No. PGCD-002620) to be screened in the Paluxy formation of the aquifer with a maximum designed capacity of 56 GPM. This approval was granted with the condition that the “Existing Well” (ID No. PGCD-001080) would be plugged within 30 days of completing the new well, as the two wells were only 24 feet apart and did not meet spacing requirements. Applicant is requesting an exception from the well-spacing requirements between PGCD-002620, PGCD-001080, and PGCD-001078 (the “Rock Creek Well”). Following completion of the New Well, the intended maximum capacity was not achieved. Therefore, the applicant is requesting an exception to spacing in order to continue operating the Existing Well to meet the water system's capacity needs. _________________________________________________________________________________ For hearings on applications for wells that seek an exception to the District’s minimum spacing requirements, any person interested in supporting or challenging the exception application may submit comments or other information in writing to the District prior to a board decision on the application or appear before the Board at the public hearing on the date specified in this notice. Comments may be mailed to the District at 208 Kimberly Drive, Cleburne, Texas, 76031, or submitted by email to: kjones@prairielandsgcd.org.

Applicant received approval for OP-21-015 in October 2021 for the registration, drilling, and construction of a “New Well” (ID No. PGCD-002620) to be screened in the Paluxy formation of the aquifer. This approval was granted with the condition that the “Existing Well” (ID No. PGCD-001080) would be plugged within 30 days of completing the new well, as the two wells were only 24 feet apart and did not meet spacing requirements. Applicant is requesting an exception from the well-spacing requirements between PGCD-002620, PGCD-001080, PGCD-001078 (the “Rock Creek Well”), located at 3707 Rock Creek Dr, Crowley TX, and PGCD-003675 located at 3911 Chisholm Trail Rd, Crowley, TX. Following completion of the New Well, the intended maximum capacity was not achieved. Therefore, the applicant is requesting an exception to spacing in order to continue operating the Existing Well to meet the water system's capacity needs. _________________________________________________________________________________ For hearings on applications for wells that seek an exception to the District’s minimum spacing requirements, any person interested in supporting or challenging the exception application may submit comments or other information in writing to the District prior to a board decision on the application or appear before the Board at the public hearing on the date specified in this notice. Comments may be mailed to the District at 208 Kimberly Drive, Cleburne, Texas, 76031, or submitted by email to: kjones@prairielandsgcd.org. July 21, 2025 Page 2 Hearing Notice Any additional public information concerning this hearing will be posted on the District’s website “Meetings” page prior to or during the hearing at: https://www.prairielandsgcd.org/meetings/ Certification I, the undersigned authority, do hereby certify that on or before July 11, 2025, at or before 9:00 AM, I posted and filed the above notice of meeting(s) and hearing(s) with the Texas Secretary of State, the Ellis, Hill, Johnson, and Somervell county clerk’s offices, and also posted a copy in the front window of the Prairielands GCD office in a place convenient and readily accessible to the general public at all times and that it will remain so posted continuously for at least 10 days preceding the scheduled time of said meeting in accordance with the Texas Government Code, Chapter 551. __________________________________________ Kathy Turner Jones, General Manager Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District |

The Section 185 fee program rules under consideration for withdrawal are no longer necessary or applicable since EPA has determined that the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area met the federal Clean Air Act criteria for redesignation under the revoked one-hour ozone NAAQS and terminated all anti-backsliding obligations related to that standard, including the Section 185 fee (February 14, 2020 85 FR 8411). (Lindsey Xiao, Terry Salem, John Minter Non-Rule Project No. 2025-020-OTH-NR) Consideración para retirar de la revisión de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos (EPA, por sus siglas en inglés), las disposiciones 30 del TAC §101.118(a)(2) y §101.118(b) de la Sección 185 del programa de tarifas, adoptadas por la comisión el 22 de mayo de 2013, para abordar los requisitos bajo el Estándar Nacional de Calidad del Aire Ambiental (NAAQS) de ozono de una hora revocado de 1979 (Proyecto de Regla No. 2009-009-101-AI). Las reglas del programa de tarifas de la Sección 185 que se están considerando para el retiro ya no son necesarias ni aplicables, ya que la EPA ha determinado que el área de Houston-Galveston-Brazoria cumplió con los criterios federales de la Ley de Aire Limpio para la redesignación bajo el NAAQS de ozono de una hora revocado y terminó todas las obligaciones anti-retroceso relacionadas con ese estándar, incluida la tarifa de la Sección 185 (14 de febrero de 2020 85 FR 8411). (Lindsey Xiao, Terry Salem, John Minter Proyecto No. 2025-020-OTH-NR) Item 8 Docket No. 2022-0356-SIP. Consideration to withdraw from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review, the El Paso Emissions Inventory State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision (Non-Rule Project No. 2022-010-SIP-NR), adopted by the Commission on November 16, 2022. The SIP revision under consideration for withdrawal is no longer a required SIP element for El Paso County due to the vacatur of the area’s nonattainment designation for the 2015 eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard. (Alison Stokes, Terry Salem, John Minter Non-Rule Project No. 2025-023-OTH-NR) Consideración para retirar de la revisión de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE. UU. (EPA), la Revisión del Plan de Implementación Estatal (SIP) del Inventario de Emisiones de El Paso (Proyecto No Regla No. 2022-010-SIP-NR), adoptado por la Comisión el 16 de noviembre de 2022. La revisión del SIP que se está considerando para su retiro ya no es un elemento SIP requerido para el Condado de El Paso debido a la anulación de la designación de incumplimiento del área para el Estándar Nacional de Calidad del Aire Ambiental de Ozono de ocho horas de 2015. (Alison Stokes, Terry Salem, John Minter Proyecto No. 2025-023-OTH-NR) Item 9 Docket No. 2014-1262-SIP. Consideration to withdraw from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review, the attainment demonstration, reasonably available control measure analysis, and motor vehicle emissions budget elements from a previously submitted state implementation plan (SIP) revision that was adopted by the Commission on June 3, 2015, to meet moderate classification requirements for the Dallas-Fort Worth nonattainment area under the 2008 eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) (Non-Rule Project No. 2013-015-SIP-NR). The moderate SIP elements under consideration for withdrawal are no longer considered legal obligations by EPA due to reclassification of the area to severe nonattainment for the 2008 eight-hour ozone NAAQS.
