Night offered some academic work but a whole lot more contemporary surrealism.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY ANTHONY MARIANI
As soon as I saw her, I LOL’d. A cigarette dangling precariously from the side of her mouth, her tangled strawberry-blonde hair matted against her sagging white skin, her dark eyes drooping, she was not what you’d expect to see in a painting in an established gallery. Maybe the wine was to blame. The face of a slender bronze man wearing only blue briefs hid behind a full glass of red as the haggard woman’s visage obscured an anemic-looking tinsel tree. “Paulo & Paula” really spoke to me. What did it say? “Let’s party,” obviously, but also WTF?
And I mean that in the nicest, most flattering way. A couple years ago, I interviewed the artist, Jay Wilkinson, for a story I was writing about his work or art in general or Fort Worth or something, and we started talking about photorealism today. Essentially, the Fort Worth painter said (and I’m paraphrasing here), his pieces demand a figment of the surreal to separate them from photography and just to keep his canvases engaging and viewers thinking. With paintings like “Paulo & Paula,” you see what Wilkinson’s brand of contemporary photorealism can achieve: prolonged dialogue. Are Paulo and Paula a couple? Is he with her just for her money? Is she with him just for his virility? The deep, rich red background gives the mise en scène a theatrical feel. Is the curtain going up or down on their bad romance?
Sparking the cultural conversation while simultaneously documenting it, a lot of the work I came across last Saturday around town as part of Fall Gallery Night seemed like a lively bar at happy hour. Lots of points of departure into big ideas. Lots of bugged eyes. Lots of creased foreheads. Lots of gratis beverages. *bows*
place. Following them leads nowhere. What matters is the vibe. “Mariamundi” is a vibey painting, and what it broadcasts is humor, satire, and irony. It also may also have you questioning the artist’s motives. Is the Latina Mary Muñiz’s wife? His mother? A complete stranger? What does he think of her? Probably not anything too great, but it’s not all bad, either. Just like family.
I must have stood and stared at “Mariamundi” for 10 minutes straight. In the Latin-forward group show at 400H Gallery in Sundance Square, Patrick McGrath Muñiz brings the Virgin Mary to the barrio. Cherubs pay homage. As two create the brown-skinned saint’s halo by spraying her with water and an aerosol can (spray paint? hairspray? Off?), three clamor for her attention from below, one extending a lit lighter toward her while clasping a rifle with Hello Kitty painted on the handle. The cryptic references jump all over the
Self-mythology works just as well as any pastoral landscape or tables of fruit for inspiration. You can tell that Jesus Treviño plucked the leisurely characters in his “Beyond the Border Chisme,” also at 400H, from real life — the crude black-and-white sketches on paper suggest he penciled them one afternoon en plein air or from a nonchalant pic. The beauty comes from their framing. They sit behind black, fauxwrought-iron fencing like the kind found on houses and storefronts in poor communities. Instantly, even non-Latinos can connect to this common Latino decorative element. The prolonged dialogue that results isolates our feelings about barrio life. At once dangerously foreign and as close as our family, friends, and neighbors, this is art at its simplest yet most powerful peak.
I don’t know about the art world at large. I only skim Artforum and haven’t left Fort Worth to visit another big city in years. What I can say with some confidence is that
for $10,000) also goes down like a cup of smooth black java placed lovingly on some Formica. The painting also shows the power in perfect, hypernatural color combinations. That sunset is delicious.
Erika Duque Scully’s tasteful floral paintings in the room next door provided a contrapuntal tonic, which was welcome. It’s nice knowing that such a progressive venue as Fort Works Art recognizes and supports serious, academic art.
The Westside spot was the second stop on our Fall Gallery Night shenanigans. My wife and I left long before future-pop gal-andguy duo Yokyo performed on the rooftop and the market in the alleyway behind the Westside gallery opened. I hated missing it. Not only should more bands be performing on rooftops above adoring masses and art markets, but what a wonderful way to bring non-artists into the fold. We need more of this. Every month. If not at Fort Works Art, then somewhere equally funky.
Fall Gallery Night proves the lockdown and post-pandemic explosion in sequestering and scrolling seem to have brought artists’ personal lives to the fore. This is not necessarily a bad thing. We crave prolonged dialogue especially if initiated by talented artists with something new to say or a novel way to depict handy references or rhetorical/ philosophical cliches (corporations = bad, environment = good, herd mentality = bad, diversity = good, for example).
Longtime favorite Clay Stinnett serves up two huge, mesmerically colorful canvases straight from the groovy 1970s. Hanging at Fort Works Art, his massive pieces consist of dozens of small, mostly square, sometimes text-heavy vignettes, each its own mini-painting. Euro Jesus above the words “Forgiveness Stops,” Spider-Man, “Doom Scrolling,” E.T., a “Cobra Chopper” motorcycle, a skull, zombies, Satan, everything rendered in the local painter’s signature nervous style — I’m not going to ascribe any deep meaning to them. Let me just say that as a collector of vintage Uncanny X-Men and The Incredible Hulk, Stinnett’s tableaux hark directly to the pages of ’70s-/’80s-era comic books. Even non-nerds can feel older generations’ curdled sentiment in his patently cheesy imagery. Just try not to smile.
Nearby, Kristen Moore’s locally famous “Waffle House (Late Night)” (which sold
Our first stop of the day was William Campbell Gallery’s Arlington Heights location. Restrained, quiet, Scully-esque art for us as opposed to art for the artist, John Fraser’s Fragmented Serenity sneakily blended into the walls. The late Illinois native’s palette of beiges and browns with nothing much going on between them reminded me of a hanging deconstructed cardboard six-pack case I fell in love with decades ago at some art space in New York City. The craft matters. The organization matters. The details matter. Every line of Fragmented Serenity is precisely rough, every muted square, rectangle, or found object sublime, every right angle exaggeratedly measured. Taking it all in, you knew you were in the hands of a master. The exhibit could not have been more different from all the muscular, referential, colorful work hanging at all the other galleries we visited. Again, I had to applaud the diversity of thought and approach.
In any scene, there’s always art for us and art for the artist. Art for us is approachable, collectible, good for hanging over the fireplace, often nonrepresentational (unless we’re talking landscapes or still lifes), and often pricey. Art for the artist is hermetic, which doesn’t mean it can’t be fantastic (see: Muñiz, Stinnett, Wilkinson, et al.). As social media proves every second of every day, we love peeking into others’ lives, and when these others have engaging things to say and an artful way to say them, looking away impoverishes our eyeballs. I’d even argue that a canvas can reveal 10 times more about the human condition than some literalness-loving screen. A truism: Art for us and art for the artist embolden each other. There’s room for everything. And everyone. (Except a lot of women, apparently. Picking mostly at random, most of what my wife and I saw was male-heavy.)
There were two other interesting shows we came across. Both by names. Both representational. Both pretty serious. Adam Fung drew continued on page 7

Curran’s spooky “Memento Mori Evil
and Shit Out Your Bones)” manages
inspiration from his 2023 artist residency in the Arctic Circle for his solo show at J. Peeler Howell Fine Art. Is there cell reception up there? Could any of us normies go even two hours without any bars? Two minutes? Did the TCU art prof care either way? All we know for sure is that he spent a lot of time documenting his environment. Comprising nearly two dozen oil/wax paintings on linen, mystic sea revolves around the ocean.
“In suggesting an oracle-like quality to the landscape,” Fung says in his artist’s statement, “I want to pause and ask: Do we look for, listen [to], or heed what the natural world foretells? Shifting to the sea as a site — that is literally connecting the entire globe through its fluid, shifting state — allowed me to expand the focus outside of the polar regions to our everyday experience.”
I’d like to think of these pieces as simple surrealism. Not “simplistic,” because they’re definitely not that. They’re just unbusy, delightfully so. Small waves ripple throughout every piece. The accents, natural and
otherwise, manifest the surrealism. In “the vigil,” long and thin twin candles — one extinguished, the other burning — frame the craggy face of a massive, blueish glacier.

skeleton wades through the frigid shallows. There’s not a lot going on except up close. The brushstrokes nicely request your investment in them and pay huge dividends. At Artspace111, the brushstrokes are equally masterful. A love letter to his deceased best friend and older brother, who both died from cancer recently, local legend Dennis Blagg doesn’t get all tangled up in details. His mostly large-scale pieces also bow to the almighty vibe, and that vibe emanates from the mournful, quiet Big Bend landscape at night. Lots of incredibly natural-seeming blues and browns here. Lots of solemnity. Peace.
Most of what my wife and I came across last Saturday was representational but nontraditional. Or boring. It was new and fantastical. It was art for and of the moment, when broad, loud strokes (TikTok, pulpy murder mysteries, sci-fi, rap/metal/bro-country, sloganeering presidential candidates) and IP drive the culture at large. The content may not always be serious, or heavy, or academic, but you cannot deny its form — the sweat equity muscles its way off the canvases, a rhinestoned pro wrestler breaking through a drippy Jackson Pollock beneath a disco ball as big as Jupiter.
Is this worth complaining about, this lack of seriousness? To the old-heads, who live to whine, probably. To those of us alive now, in this fucked-up world, no matter our age, I can’t imagine how.
Or why, and “why” only leads to more questions. I asked myself “why?” a lot Saturday. “Why this reference?” “Why this subject matter?” “Why this color?” And the first answer to come to me was, “Because we’re all a little crazy.”
Artists and viewers alike. I’m still thinking about the pair of red-toenailed
female feet traipsing through Franceska Alvarado’s “Is the Grass Really Greener on the Other Side?,” through the green grass, yes, and also past … a flower with what looks like a set of human eyes? Also taking in Carlos Donjuan’s bold, logo-like paintings and Jaylen Pigford’s cartoons gone wild, I couldn’t help but think that we are all a little cray and that the lockdown and living on the edge of democracy have only amped up our abject nuttiness. At Fort Works Art, one of Julia Curran’s two spooky hanging sculptures, the wonderfully titled “Memento Mori Evil Men (One Day You Too Will Die, Then She Will Eat You and Shit Out Your Bones),” manages a tightrope between purely scatological and almost primitively beautiful — a prone serpentine she-demon
underground simultaneously gorges on tiny silhouettes while excreting skulls and femurs. Whatever your gender, Curran is
clearly the kind of people you want around you. I don’t know where she’s from or where most of the other exhibiting artists call home, and I’m not going to Google them because A.) who has time for that? and B.) when we really think about it, the fact that they’re showing in Fort Worth makes them local enough to discuss in this hyper-local rag and among you hyper-local people. Of the names I recognized last Saturday during Fall Gallery Night, most of them delivered refined traditionalism, art for us, essentially. Everyone else, the purveyors of art for artists, gave me hope. Maybe there’s more to this 11th-most populous American city with the annoying smalltown attitude than we thought. l
Carlos Donjuan’s bold, logo-like paintings say we’re all insane and that the lockdown and living on the edge of democracy have only amped up our abject nuttiness.
Instantly, even non-Latinos can connect to this common Latino decorative element.

The AI in Animation
Fort
Worth filmmakers use artificial intelligence to create a bold new look with Bottoms Up!
BY KRISTIAN LIN
“We knew we were going to walk into the fire doing this,” said Brandon P. Schwindt.
The director is in Los Angeles along with his brother and cinematographer Garrett Schwindt and co-director Josh Lowe to show their short film Bottoms Up! at the Studio City International Film Festival. The film won an award for best short film at the Cinetech Future Fest in Opole, Poland, this past spring and premiered in Dallas two weeks ago. Now, the Fort Worth-shot film will have its debut on Tue, Sep 17, at Tulips FTW. The reason why the filmmakers were so trepidatious about the project is because they set out to use AI programs to create the animation in their partially live-action film.
“This is a way to make something crazier than I ever thought I could,” Brandon said.
He and Lowe, both 39, met when they were attending Hurst High School. (Lowe
filmmakers shot these scenes with live actors at Lowtown Studios, then used an AI program to overlay the live footage with a look that’s surprisingly similar to rotoscoping animation and which imitates the celluloid look of period films as well as the horizontal lines of analog TV.
“Most of the [post-production work] was completed in Adobe After Effects, and a specialty plugin from Maxon was used to create the film grain and TV fuzz,” Brandon said.
Garrett added that while the AI programs did not pick up on some of the nuances of the lighting, Brandon’s storyboards and the filmmakers’ strict adherence to them bailed them out. “It took the actors some time to adjust [to the greenscreen]. None of them have done something this different. If not for the storyboards, we would have wasted a lot of time with people imagining, ‘Where are we?’ ”
Garrett said using AI seemed like a “suicidal move” in the summer of 2023, when Hollywood’s writers were on strike. Brandon, Garrett said, “sold it as a way to use this technology that’s going to be here no matter what. We’re still writers.”
said, “He was the best artist, and I was second best.”) Their filmmaking projects together include a feature that they shot illegally at North East Mall. While Garrett is a graduate of UNT’s film program and the David Lynch School of Cinematic Arts in Fairfield, Iowa, Brandon dropped out of community college to start working on film sets immediately. When Clayton Coblentz founded the production company Texas Producer in 2018, the Schwindts joined up immediately, making corporate videos and animated logos for local clients. The firm ended up funding Bottoms Up!,
with Coblentz acting as a producer. The filmmakers estimate the budget between $20,000 and $30,000 and said that a team of animators would have easily run the figure into six digits.
Bottoms Up! is an ostentatious and quite impressive display of cinematic techniques, with a story about a doctor (Stephanie Cearley) who is getting drunk at a bar on a Tuesday morning when her dog runs off. The pursuit leads her to journey through several cinematic sequences, including a silent film, a recreation of the Moon landing, and a 1970s TV talk show. The
Brandon pointed out that the project required them to hire more workers than any of their previous ones, including an animal wrangler for the dog. The live-action scenes were shot at the Fort Worth Water Gardens and Down ’N Out on the Near Southside.
Brandon said he intends to take a mental break while Bottoms Up! makes the rounds of festivals, but the filmmakers have a couple of projects that they intend to try out next. Garrett noted that even without AI, film production and distribution are rapidly changing. “There’s always the ability to make things regardless of your socioeconomic status. Independence comes from knowing the process and being able to wear every hat. We’ve always done things on our own and not relied on other people to make our vision.”
To aspiring filmmakers, he said, “Go out there and make mistakes.” l

Melting Pot
With his new Cafe Americana, Chef Mark Vincent Guatelara brings the world to Arlington.
Cafe Americana, 403 E Main St, Arlington. 682338-3033. 11am-11pm Tue-Sun, 11am-1am Fri-Sat.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY CODY NEATHERY
When Chef Mark Vincent Guatelara closed Ober Here, it was another disheartening loss for those who yearn for unique ethnic cuisine. From what began as a food truck in the same parking lot serving Filipino rice bowls, he transitioned to a food stall as popularity justified the need for more space. With heaping portions of barbecue pork, honey shrimp, or homemade Spam, it was one of the only late-night food options for the Near Southside at a reasonable cost.
That closure didn’t allow him to give up on his aspirations. Leaning on his years of fine dining, he broadened his culinary horizons by not starting over from scratch but starting over from experience. In a metal-fabricated building in Arlington’s burgeoning downtown, Cafe Americana was born. Painted charcoal-gray with a gaudy neon sign of tropical accents announcing its location, this is a minor introduction for what’s inside.
Vibrant jungle-green paint consuming the interior walls along with lush greenery and a hodgepodge of pictures in gallery format, this oasis is a complete 180 from what fans of Ober Here may have been accustomed to. And there is no shortage of visual eye candy for guests.
Somewhat dated in design but safe, the woodgrain bar faces a white-tiled wall with a massive poster depicting a cowboy trying to make eight seconds on a bucking
horse alongside the slogan “Meet Me at Americana.” And that’s where the cowboy culture ends. With a three-bay garage window setup, the natural light works well until sundown, when the restaurant lighting becomes a bit intrusive, removing any attempt at cozy dining. The music is on point as a playlist shuffles between cumbia and rumba to funk and soul — fitting for a menu consisting of Spanish-style tapas with continued on page 19
Tasteful in both design and menu, Cafe Americana brings food and aesthetics together nicely.

nods to the cuisines of the Caribbean, Peru, and Portugal.
Fresh off a trip to Key West, where the mojitos are as exemplary as those I plunged into in Havana, I opted for Cafe Americana’s Mojito Tropical. Prepared with white rum, lime juice, and brown sugar, then garnished with watermelon and mint, it was a bit lighter than expected. Lola’s Paloma with charred pineapple, coconut, and lime or La Rubia Sangria with red wine, fruit, and wooden spices would’ve resonated better.
Although large plates are available, we chose to explore the smaller options to allow a more robust experience of the menu, so we kicked off our subtropical jaunt with an order of Peruvian chicken skewers and Spanish-style mussels. The chicken was evenly grilled without dryness or burnt edges, with red chimichurri layered over a bed of peppery, tart arugula and grapefruit salad. With a bright, tangy-yet-sweet roasted garlic flavor, the red chimichurri was new to me and a welcome alternative to the more popular green version.
The broth of the mussels was incredible, and depending upon what was captured within a shell — garlicky, diced cilantro leaf or chorizo — each slurp of the bivalve dish offered a different flavor profile. Mopping it up with grilled bread, the broth didn’t stand a chance.
Next up was the crispy pork. Covered with syrupy-sweet Spanish sambal-honey sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds and cilantro, the addictive plate caused me to contemplate continuing its consumption later before throwing in the towel now or carrying on like a champion. I chose the latter. If there were an option for a bowl of rice as a side, this pairing would’ve been reminiscent of Gautelara’s beloved Ober Here.
With stomach space shrinking, our final selections were the Portuguese octopus, the jerk-chicken empanadas, and the beet-andcitrus salad. The octopus came intact, with black and green olives along with baby
potatoes. The charred tentacles sang a seaworthy tune, and the alternating olives kept it fresh, especially when scooped along a slice of soft, buttery spud.
The delicious flaky crust of the empanadas dissolved with ease but overwhelmed the typically pronounced jerk spices, rendering the chicken all but lost within, but we would certainly give it another try, especially when dipped in the cilantro-and-mint sauce.
The finale of the salad was almost sweet enough without falling within the dessert category. The rootsy beets and burst of orange swirled in melted goat cheese and cool cucumber dressing were absolutely dazzling.
Chef Guatelara’s aim to honor the pioneering spirit of America with a worldly concept is far from exaggerated imitation. It’s a true celebration of our country’s culinary roots planted in our backyard. l
Cafe Americana’s crispy pork haunts the author the way Ober Here does.

Pretty Things
For his third and most personal album, singersongwriter Garrett Owen remembers his beloved elders.
BY JUAN R. GOVEA
After relocating to Keller from Dallas in 2020 to care for his aging grandmother, Garrett Owen recorded what may be his most personal work yet. The folk-esque singer-songwriter has dedicated Memoriam, his third album, to Masako Sakurada, who died in April.
“Most of the songs are filled with little details and anecdotes that come from what I was watching my grandmother go through as her mind was deteriorating,” Owen recalled, “things like the first time she fell or when I had to start locking doors with privacy locks on the inside that she couldn’t reach, so she couldn’t go out in the middle of the night. All the songs were written during the years I took care of her. Some lines are for her, like, ‘You’re going to leave an empty space, but you know I just can’t stand being stuck in the waiting place.’ ”
Recorded at AudioStyles in Fredericksburg with producer Taylor Tatsch (Maren Morris, Treehouse Empire, The Droptines) with instrumental backing by Tatsch and the Texas Gentlemen’s Daniel Creamer, the eight songs offer peace, as Owen intended.
battling Alzheimer’s and dementia and her simple artistry of collecting cicada molts, feathers, and acorn shells to decorate her dresser.
“It was profound to realize that this dysfunction happening in her brain, that was staining everything in her life, was also bringing about some beauty, compelling her to do amazing, creative things she wouldn’t have done before,” which Owen said powerfully influenced him at the time.
On the hypermelodic “Rosemary and Thieves,” Owen sings, “She used to keep / Such a beautiful garden / But now she just waters the weeds / Rosemary and thieves.”
Owen will release Memoriam on November 1. Until then, he will put out several tracks as singles, starting with “Beautiful Stain,” “Pony Express,” and “Rosemary and Thieves.”
“I like the album and kind of wish I had more listeners, of course,” Owen said. “It’s hard to teach myself to be an influencer online or spend time on social media. I think we made a good album. … I like making pretty things. It’s therapeutic but not therapy. I took a lot of time to be open in making the album.”
“Probably the most important thing for me is the listener feel comforted,” he said. “It seems like from feedback so far, [Tatsch], [Creamer], and I made something that can do that, even though there are a lot of moments of tension. It seems like they lead to moments of relief that feel pretty, like a quilt.”
Kim Rosen (Natalie Merchant, Belly, Wynonna Judd) mastered Memoriam in New Jersey. Owen and company wrapped
up tracking the day before his grandmother died. She was 92.
Unlike his previous releases, Memoriam is musically complex, orchestrated via Creamer’s grand piano, organ, synths, bass, and drums, Tatsch’s electric guitar, and Owen’s soft acoustic and voice and his stream-of-consciousness storytelling. Nineties troubadour Elliot Smith comes readily to mind. Lyrically, Owen draws mostly from his memories of his grandmother
Though Owen has no local dates yet, he’s going on tour in October, starting in Phoenix. He’ll be opening for buzzy Austin singer-songwriter David Ramirez on a few dates. “I love touring,” Owen said.
The cover artwork continues the theme. It’s a photo of Owen’s great[-]grandfather, Tsunayoshi Sakurada. “I wanted to incorporate my family in memoriam of Japanese culture. Looking through all the photos, the image felt powerful, tributing my family history and tributing the woman he raised, my grandmother.” l
Owen: “I like making pretty things. It’s therapeutic but not therapy. I took a lot of time to be open in making the album.”

Tapestry fans, the weekend is your last chance to unite! This overlook-it-at-yourperil artform has been at the center of the summer exhibit at the Kimbell Art Museum (3333 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth, 817-332-8451) since June, and it ends Sunday. Art and War in the Renaissance: The Battle of Pavia Tapestries gathers seven large-scale historical tapestries on view for the first time ever in the whole country. More expensive than paintings back in the day, tapestries often
functioned as tools for storytelling and propaganda, all told in fine wool, silk, and metal-wrapped thread and at monumental scale. Each tableau at the Kimbell is about 27 feet wide and 14 feet high, depicting Emperor Charles V’s decisive victory over French King Francis I that ended the 16th-century Italian Wars. The pieces were designed by court artist Bernard van Orley and woven in Brussels by Willem and Jan Dermoyen. These bad boys really look like oil paintings. You can feel the sweat equity (but don’t touch). —Anthony Mariani

Revised Notice of Draft Federal Operating Permit
Draft Permit No.: O4559
Application and Draft Permit. NuStar Logistics, L.P., 90 San Pablo Ave, Crockett, CA 94525-1052, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for an initial issuance of Federal Operating Permit (herein referred to as Permit) No. O4559, Application No. 35922, to authorize operation of the Grapevine Terminal, an Other Warehousing and Storage facility. The area addressed by the application is located at 2400 Mustang Ct, Southlake Texas 76092. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice. For exact location, refer to the application. You can find an electronic map of the facility at: https://gisweb.tceq.texas.gov/LocationMapper/?marker=-97.115,32.923888&level=13. This application was received by the TCEQ on November 3, 2023.
The purpose of a federal operating permit is to improve overall compliance with the rules governing air pollution control by clearly listing all applicable requirements, as defined in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code § 122.10 (30 TAC § 122.10). The draft permit, if approved, will codify the conditions under which the area must operate. The permit will not authorize new construction. The executive director has completed the technical review of the application and has made a preliminary decision to prepare a draft permit for public comment and review. The executive director recommends issuance of this draft permit. The permit application, statement of basis, and draft permit will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ Central Office, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building E, First Floor, Austin, Texas 78753; the TCEQ Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Office, 2309 Gravel Drive, Fort Worth, Texas 76118-6951; and the Southlake Public Library, 1400 Main St Ste 130, Southlake, Texas 76092-7640, beginning the first day of publication of this notice. The draft permit and statement of basis are available at the TCEQ Website:
www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/tvnotice
At the TCEQ central and regional offices, relevant supporting materials for the draft permit, as well as the New Source Review permits which have been incorporated by reference, may be reviewed and copied. Any person with difficulties obtaining these materials due to travel constraints may contact the TCEQ central office file room at (512) 239-2900.
Public Comment/Notice and Comment Hearing. Any person may submit written comments on the draft permit. Comments relating to the accuracy, completeness, and appropriateness of the permit conditions may result in changes to the draft permit.
A person who may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from the permitted area may request a notice and comment hearing. The purpose of the notice and comment hearing is to provide an additional opportunity to submit comments on the draft permit. The permit may be changed based on comments pertaining to whether the permit provides for compliance with 30 TAC Chapter 122 (examples may include that the permit does not contain all applicable requirements or the public notice procedures were not satisfied). The TCEQ may grant a notice and comment hearing on the application if a written hearing request is received within 30 days after publication of the newspaper notice. The hearing request must include the basis for the request, including a description of how the person may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from the application area. The request should also specify the conditions of the draft permit that are inappropriate or specify how the preliminary decision to issue or deny the permit is inappropriate. All reasonably ascertainable issues must be raised and all reasonably available arguments must be submitted by the end of the public comment period. If a notice and comment hearing is granted, all individuals that submitted written comments or a hearing request will receive written notice of the hearing. This notice will identify the date, time, and location for the hearing.
Written public comments and/or requests for a notice and comment hearing should be submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 787113087, or electronically at www14.tceq.texas.gov/epic/eComment/ and be received within 30 days after the date of newspaper publication of this notice. Please be aware that any contact information you provide, including your name, phone number, email address and physical address will become part of the agency’s public record.
A notice of proposed final action that includes a response to comments and identification of any changes to the draft permit will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments, a hearing request, or requested to be on the mailing list for this application. This mailing will also provide instructions for public petitions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to request that the EPA object to the issuance of the proposed permit. After receiving a petition, the EPA may only object to the issuance of a permit which is not in compliance with the applicable requirements or the requirements of 30 TAC Chapter 122.
Mailing List. In addition to submitting public comments, a person may ask to be placed on a mailing list for this application by sending a request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address above. Those on the mailing list will receive copies of future public notices (if any) mailed by the Chief Clerk for this application.
Information. For additional information about this permit application or the permitting process, please contact the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Public Education Program, MC-108, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or toll free at 1-800-687-4040. Si desea información en Español, puede llamar al 1-800-687-4040.
