the Commissioners Court. Director Gilbert Welch made the motion to3/7/17 table this item to next month in order to get Attorney Newt Cunningham’s input and address the issue of the City representing that their regulations are more restrictive than the Bois d’Arc Lake Zoning Regulations and also that in all cases of this transfer of authority the city will fully exercise that authority. Motion was seconded by Gary Fernandes and passed. After the motion passed, a resident of Lake Bonham whose home falls within the 5,000 ft buffer zone, spoke regarding her concerns of Bois d’Arc Lake Zoning Commission becoming the zoning authority over the properties in the Buffer Zone of Lake Bonham. Her main concern was that the regulations that are grandfathered in with Lake Bonham, would no longer be grandfathered in should Bois d’Arc Lake’s “more stringent regulations” take pre-eminence over Lake Bonham’s regulations. 9. Discussion, consideration and action regarding changes and/or modifications requested by landowners: Judge Moore asked if there was anything else needed addressed and there was nothing else needed. 10.

Letter to the Editor

The City of Bonham has already started experiencing a substantial rise in property values due to the growth inching its way towards us. This trend is only going to keep increasing upward. Rising local property taxes is a major concern for ALL

homeowners since we carry a major portion of the tax burden. It is especially going to become extremely hard on our Senior Citizens who are on fixed incomes. Many could be faced with being priced out of their homes. At the present time, Fan-

nin County and Bonham ISD both do the right thing and offer tax freezes for seniors 65 and over who have their homestead here. The City of Bonham is the only taxing entity that DOES NOT offer seniors a tax freeze. We, as citizens, have an opportunity to do the right thing and change that! Let’s be a community that is known for taking care of our senior citizens. Please get out and vote “FOR” the Tax Freeze Proposition. Early voting April 19 – 27th, Election Day is May 1st Only one polling place: Bonham City Hall Pam Sellers

Bonham, TX me share some with you. God’s love is sacrificial. It is real. God’s love for us is eternal and everlasting. It is unconditional. His love is sovereign. And finally God’s love is substitutionary - meaning that Jesus took our place. He took our cross and carried it for us. In our next article we will be talking about “The Reality of the Cross” Please plan to study with us!

1/12/21 God’s Love So Amazing

God. It has lived from eternity past and through the strong cords of His love will continue through eternity future. In the meantime, those who have lived in the here’s and the now’s have enjoyed the salvation that we have experienced through His love. Thru strength that we draw daily through the Risen Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit, we are able to serve Him. John 3:16 speaks not only

AUSTIN, Texas (Feb. 25, 2021) -- Kwik Chek, a family of customer service-oriented convenience stores and quick food operations that is currently rebranding to Texas Born (TXB), has received $19,500 in grants to disperse to schools in need across Texas and Oklahoma through the company’s partnership with ExxonMobil and its Educational Alliance Grant Program. “We are thankful to ExxonMobil for allowing us to apply for these grants on behalf of schools in the local communities in which we serve,” said Sherry Capehart, grant distribution lead at Kwik Chek/TXB. “Convenience stores are in every community. The people we see every day are our neighbors, and we want to give back as much as we can to give our communities the support they need.”

To help give students the tools and technology they need for math and science programs, Kwik Chek/TXB and its sister company, McCraw Oil and Propane, presented $500 grants to 39 schools in Texas and Oklahoma in the following cities: Boerne, Texas, Bonham, Texas, Calera, Okla., Celeste, Texas, Colleyville, Texas, Como, Texas, Dodd City, Texas, Durant, Okla., Farmersville, Texas, Fredericksburg, Texas, Goldthwaite, Texas, Gunter, Texas, Helotes, Texas,Honey Grove, Texas, Howe, Texas, Johnson City, Texas, Leonard, Texas, Marble Falls, Texas, Paris, Texas, Powderly, Texas, Spicewood, Texas, Sulphur Springs, Texas, Temple, Texas, Tom Bean, Texas, Trenton, Texas, Van Alstyne, Texas, Whitewright, Texas, Wimberly, Texas, Wolfe City, Texas, Wylie, Texas

NTMWD Recognized by National Association Sexual Assault of Clean Water Agencies for Innovative Awareness Workforce Training Program Month WYLIE, TX – March 1, 2021: the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) has been selected to receive a 2021

National Environmental Achievement Award (NEAA) from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) in the Workforce Development category for its Waterworks Program. This innovative training program is a collaborative partnership with Collin College to address the growing worker shortage across the water and wastewater treatment industry. The national award is presented to NACWA member public clean water utilities that have made outstanding contributions to environmental protection, their communities, ratepayers, and the water sector. “Despite the many challenges and setbacks that we faced as a nation and a global community in 2020, these NACWA member public utilities were able to deliver on the promise of continued and reliable clean water services,” stated Adam Krantz, Chief Executive Officer of NACWA. “America’s public clean water utilities held steadfast in their commitment to serve and inspire their communities throughout the course of the pandemic.” In an effort to be proactive, NTMWD created the Waterworks Program in partnership with Collin College to address a well-defined shortage of experienced water and wastewater operators due to an industry-wide wave of retirements in the water treatment sector. The program provides a pathway for students interested in

working in water and wastewater operations and develops a pipeline of future employees critical to supporting the fastgrowing North Texas region. The training program is offered without charge to participating students through a 2019 Texas Talent Connection grant award. The program consists of two training paths toward the goal of earning a Class D license, one for water operators and the other for wastewater operators. Once eligible, students will be able to take the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Class D Certification exam. Following the training and licensure attainment, participants will have the opportunity to apply for on-the-job experience with a five-week internship at NTMWD. “The NTMWD Waterworks Program partnership with Collin College is just beginning to bear fruit and long-term projections look hopeful,” said Rodney Rhoades, NTMWD interim executive director. “Water and wastewater operations are essential services our communities will always need and is a very rewarding career.” This year’s NACWA NEAA Awards are presented to winners in the following categories: - Operations and Environmental Performance - Public Information and Education - Workforce Development - Watershed Collaboration

Press Release - April is designated as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). The goal of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sexual assault, abuse and harassment, and to educate communities about prevention methods. Sexual violence impacts every community and effects people of all genders and ages. Due to many cases not being reported, the official numbers are likely underestimated.

Month Judge Moore Pinwheels for Child Abuse Awareness County. April 9 is Go Blue Day in administers Texas. It is a day to wear blue in honor and memory of child abuse victims. The Children’s Oath of Office Center encourages schools, businesses, other organizations to Michelle and individuals to wear blue, snap photos, post them on social media and share them with Case the center too.

Pinwheel displays are going up all over the county for the month of April, like this one in Honey Grove. There are 117 pinwheels to symbolize the number of confirmed victims of child abuse last year in Fannin County.

Press Release - The Fannin County Purchasing Agent serves a two year term in office and at the conclusion of that term, the Purchasing Board, which presently consists of Judge Lauri Blake as the Chairman and County Judge Randy Moore, must decide who will serve the next two years. Michelle Case recently completed her first term in office and has been appointed to serve another two year term. During the January 2021 Board meeting, Judge Randy Moore administered the Oath of Office to Michelle Case. Ms. Case announced goals for her next term in office which include updating the purchasing manual and training all county employees on using the new, electronic method of purchase order system. Michelle works closely with the Auditor’s office, the Commissioners Court, the IT department and County Treasurer, David Woodson. Ms. Case has been heavily involved in the court house restoration project as well as the upcoming process for investigating the possibility of building a Fannin County Justice Center. “I’m looking forward to serving Fannin County as Purchasing Agent another term. I plan to continue to implement best practices into the purchasing processes for the county with an eye toward saving money and getting the best value for taxpayers,” said Ms. Case.

Press Release - April is Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. The Fannin County Children’s Center has several activities planned for this month. The Children’s Center is putting up pinwheel displays across Fannin County. Each display includes 117 blue and silver pinwheels in honor of the 117 children who were confirmed victims of child abuse last year in Fannin County. Displays can be found in Bonham, Ector, Honey Grove, Ivanhoe, Leonard, Savoy and Trenton. On April 6, the Fannin County Commissioners are scheduled

to pass a proclamation at their regular weekly meeting, declaring April to be Child Abuse Awareness month for Fannin

REPAIRS AND FULL RESTORATIONS

Page 13 • April 6, 2021

ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTE!

I was visiting a friend at The Heart Hospital in Plano this past week. As I was leaving, I saw a stand just inside the exit that said, “TAKE ONE – Compliments of Baylor, Scott & White.” As is my nature, I cannot walk past “a deal”, so I made my way over to the display. To my surprise, there was a collection of professionally done yard signs in the shape of a cross. Imprinted on each sign in purple were the words, “HE

IS RISEN!” and across the bottom – “It is finished!” I took my yard sign, so grateful that this organization who leads the way in innovative heart and thoracic surgery for the human body took the time to recognize that there is One Greater who led the way in healing the eternal spirit and heart of the human race. It is finished! There is no further need for Research and Development or cutting-edge intervention. Jesus finished the work. HIS WORK – COMPLETE FOR ETERNITY! HIS WORK AND HIS MESSAGE IS AN ABSOLUTE. An ABSOLUTE is by definition a principle which is universally valid. An ABSOLUTE may be viewed as TRUTH without any relation to any other thing, theory, thought, idea or any other person, place, or thing. In 1905, Albert Einstein published the Theory of Special Relativity. Einstein’s theory was based on the belief that there was an absolute around which all other motion could be measured. The Speed of Light is the absolute around which all other motion is measured. While scientists of that time were trying to base their equations on a mysterious, non-identifiable thing they named “ether” and making quite a mess of things, Einstein simply removed the “ether;” he looked at the experiments and assumed the findings were true for there was an absolute by which all else could be measured. He accepted the absolute, which was the exact opposite of what other scientists were doing. He removed the mysterious “ether” entirely and assumed that the laws of physics, including the speed of light, worked the same regardless of how you are moving. Thus, the theory that revolutionized modern science – a theory that was based on faith in an absolute law – the law of physics. Einstein came to be known as The Father of Modern Physics. He brought science out of “the ether.” “Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4. In other words, those who are right live by the knowledge of an ABSOLUTE TRUTH. We look around today’s world and see absolutes being challenged in every walk of life. 2 + 2 may not necessarily equal 4 based on an individual’s thought process; girls and boys are not absolutely girls or boys depending on one’s perspective, parents are not necessarily parents but may be regarded as non-descript humans, and God is only the figment of one’s imagination or understanding. As was in Einstein’s day, the “ether” is making quite a mess of things. The same was true in Jesus’ day until the day He entered earth’s scene. As He began His earthly ministry, the Bible says, “the people that dwelt in darkness have seen a great light, and those dwelling in the dread of death, on them HE is the Light that has dawned.” Matthew 4:16. The Book of Judges tell us of a people – God’s people – who had lost their way. There was one reason for their departure into degradation that would result in their destruction. “In those days, there was no king; everyone did as they saw fit, whatever seemed right in their own eyes.” Judges 17:6; Judges 21:25. Our nation has entered the “ether” and we are at a moral tipping point. But we can come out of the ether because we know the way out of this mess. His Name is Jesus Christ. He is the ABSOLUTE Truth of God and the Light by which we can judge every other action and reaction. “Jesus said, ‘I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but will have the Light of Life.’” John 8:12. He is absolute Truth! “Jesus said, ’I am the Way, the Truth, and Life. No one sees God except through Me.’” John 14:6. There is only one reason that we would not accept this absolute Truth of God. Not because we cannot see God as reasonable, but because we want to do whatever seems good for us now. We want to be our own God, and we are making quite a mess of things. We are suppressing the TRUTH, because we want to live the way we choose. There are those who say they do not believe in God, but the Bible, in its wisdom, says that everyone knows God is there, because God has made it plain to them. “For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen. He is understood through His works, therefore we are without excuse.” Romans 1:20

I write this article for one reason. My hope is that through seeing Jesus [God’s Salvation], through His Word – that the fear of death, the fear of life’s circumstances, and the hopelessness that overtakes all of us at times in our life would lead us to the Cross, where Jesus finished all the work God gave Him to do for us – His Creation. He gave me, a totally undeserving sinner, unlike Him in any way, HIS PEACE, HIS JOY and HIS GRACE beyond anything I could have asked or imagined. “For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Son, that whoever would believe in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16. And that is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH! Signed: Teri Sheddy

CASA Gains 4 New Advocates

Pictured are Melody McKibbin, Jane Gehalo, and John Hayden.

Swearing in ceremonies for the 4 newest CASA advocates were conducted by Judge Lauri Blake via Zoom. Press Release - Four local people recently completed training and were sworn-in to become volunteer CASA advocates for children in foster care. The Honorable Judge Lauri Blake of the 336th District Court administered the oath to the new volunteers. New child advocates include Jan Woodruff, Jamie Gentry, Kristin Morgan and Lana Allred. Because of the pandemic, this training class was entirely on-line including the swearing in ceremony, which Judge Blake conducted via Zoom. Each

volunteer will be assigned a case to work after taking their oaths. “We are excited to welcome these people to our team and even more excited to report that we are very close to having an advocate for every child in foster care,” said Sandy Barber with the Fannin County Children’s Center, which includes the local CASA program. In the year ending August 31, 2020, CASA served 119 children, which was the second most number of children in one year in the agency’s 27 year history.

That same fiscal year was the busiest ever in terms of the numbers of cases worked and the number of new children coming into foster care. All volunteers completed an intensive training class which prepares them to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for children who have been removed from their home due to abuse and neglect. The district judge appoints CASA volunteers to serve as the Guardian ad Litem for each child who has been placed in the state’s custody. In that role,

CASA advocates investigate the child’s situation, prepare written reports to the court and advocate for the child’s best interest in court hearings and other settings. CASA also advocates and monitors to ensure that all educational, medical, mental health and other needs are met. CASA is one program of several programs for abused and neglected children that are operated by the Fannin County Children’s Center. For more information call (903) 5834339 or visit www.fanninccc.org.

Thanks to the Texas Humanities Grant the Bonham Public Library Board purchased a Little Free Library for the Open Arms Shelter and surrounding neighborhood. We appreciate Dave Gehalo for building the post and to Chief Bankston for setting the post. There will be all types of books in the Little Free Library plus some magazines.

Bois D’Arc Lake News

Raw water pipeline that will be tested in April. Raw Water Pipeline Testing Press Release - The raw water pipeline is nearing the final stages of installation and preparations are in place to start filling the pipeline with water and pressure testing next month. During the test, the pipe will be filled with water at the pressure needed to test it for 8 hours. The pipe will be checked for any leaks, and if needed, corrections will be made. After the test is complete, the water (then at the Terminal Storage Reservoir in Leonard) will be used to test components of the Leonard Water Treatment Plant. The raw water pipeline test will take: • Approx. 58 million gallons of water (just under 90 Olympic swimming pools) • 2 weeks for the entire process.

Soil cement is placed on the dam to protect against water erosion. Lake Reservoir Update About 80,000 cubic yards of soil were added to the dam this past month, bringing it very close to the level needed for impoundment. Crews are also placing soil cement (a combination of sand, water and cement) on the lake-facing side of the dam, which helps protect the dam from erosion. This also needs to be completed before the reservoir can begin holding and releasing water.

Smitty’s Motor Company Makes a Donation to Bonham Kiwanis’ Angel League

Press Release - Bonham Kiwanis’ Angel League program received a generous $500 donation from Michael Smithey of Smitty’s Motor Company in Bonham. Mr. Smithey is a friend and fishing buddy with Judge Kenny Karl. Judge Karl and his wife Mary Karl have been the chairpersons of the Angel League program for Bonham Kiwanis for many years. Angel League began as a softball league for children with physical and mental

challenges who may not otherwise be able to participate in a regular baseball or softball league. In recent years the program also has expanded to include a basketball league component. Mary Karl has sought community support for the program and this year when Michael Smithey learned of the need the Angel League had, he was “all in!” The youth who compete this year will have new baseball caps and jerseys this year because of his generosity! Bonham Kiwanis and the Angel League are grateful for his support! Our ability to serve the youth is a joint effort with our community. If you are interested in visiting or joining Bonham Kiwanis, contact Lauri Blake at (903)583-2863. Kiwanis meet each Tuesday at the Breakfast Stop at noon.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of

the LORD for ever.

For the 19th year in a row, Texas was named the top exporter of all U.S. states by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis. “Texas shipped $279.3 billion worth of goods around the globe in 2020,” Luis Ribera, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service economist, said in an interview with AgriLife Today. “The state outperformed all other states, with the value of its exports accounting for 19.5 percent of overall U.S. exported products

for 2020.” The majority of Texas exports went to North American trading partners Mexico and Canada. Mexico received nearly 32 percent of Texas exports, while Canada took in 8.3 percent. China came in third, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Although the COVID-19 pandemic did affect Texas exports last year, Ribera noted it was not as big of an impact in the Lone Star State because of our diverse economy. On the other hand, Winter Storm Uri had a significant impact on first quarter 2021 exports. But a return to warmer weather and quick recovery

agricultural export. Beef, feed grains, poultry and wheat rounded out the top five agricultural exports from the Lone Star State. “We are the No. 1 cotton exporter in the U.S. and rank second in both beef and wheat exports,” Ribera said. “We are also first in sheep and goat production, second in overall animal exports and among the top five U.S. states in exportation of pecans, sorghum, rice and dairy products.” Economic diversity, solid infrastructure, international port access by land and sea, a business-friendly environment and Texas’ vast size make it an exporting powerhouse. “Our energy resources and agricultural production are of great importance—not only to the state, but also to the nation and to people throughout the world,” Ribera said. “Texas leads the nation in number of farms and ranches. And the fact that it has so much agricultural production, yet agricultural exports are no longer near the top for contributing to the state’s [gross domestic product] GDP shows just how diverse and exceptional the Texas economy has become.”

(AUSTIN) Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller introduced a multi-step solution to the recent power system failure that caused millions of dollars of damage to the Texas agriculture industry. His Proper Oversight, Winterization and Electricity Reform (P.O.W.E.R.) Plan is a set of proposed reforms of the state electricity grid and the institutions responsible for its reliable and efficient operation. “The winter storms and the system failure of the grid had a profound impact on our farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers,” said Miller. “Just as importantly, it has led to disruptions in our food supply, our water supply, and the prices that every Texan pays for some of life’s most important resources. In Texas we are blessed with some of the most abundant natural resources in the world, and we need to be able to tap those resources in a

time of need.” Winter Storm Uri caused billions of dollars worth of damage to Texas agriculture, much of it because of electricity and natural gas system failures. Without electricity water pumps could not operate, causing millions of dollars of damages to water pipes and systems. Without electricity, food processing plants went dark and were not able to operate. Agriculture feed manufacturers were also shutdown, leaving Ag producers scrambling to feed freezing livestock. Without electricity and gas, milk plants could not pasteurize product, so up to 14 million dollars of milk had to be dumped. Without electricity and heat at poultry farms, newly-hatched baby chicks froze and died. “As the head of the Texas Department of Agriculture and a statewide elected leader, it is my duty to put forward solutions,” said Miller. “I encourage our legislative leaders to endorse this plan and use the current legislative session to fix this problem so no Texan ever again has to face a crisis like we saw with this storm.” Commissioner Miller was one of the first statewide elected officials to raise an alarm about the anticipated disaster when he issued a “red alert” about threats to the food supply chain on February 16th. “Unbeknownst to most Texans, Texas came within 4 minutes and 37 seconds of a complete collapse of the power system on February 15th,” said Miller. “We must never allow this to happen again. I hope these recommendations will move the conversation towards solutions for the benefit of our farmers, ranchers, small business owners and all Texans.”

will lead to improvement soon. “Texans saw some supply chain disruptions and temporary shortages of food and other needed supplies during the winter storm and in its aftermath,” he said. “But once issues affecting fuel availability, transportation, workforce availability, stymied agricultural production and other challenges normalize once again, the state more than likely will remain ranked as the top exporting state in the country.” Natural resources like oil and gas were among the state’s top 10 exportable products in 2020, along with electronic integrated circuits; civilian aircraft, engines and parts; parts and accessories for automatic data processing machines; and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Although agriculture doesn’t place in the top 10, Ribera noted it is still a high-value industry in Texas and a source of much of the state’s exports. Texas still ranks fifth among U.S. states with an estimated $6.5 billion annually in agricultural exports, he added. More than $1.6 billion of cotton was exported last year, making it the top Texas

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER RENEWAL PERMIT NO. WQ0010070001 APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. City of Bonham, 514 Chestnut Street, Bonham, Texas 75418, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0010070001, which authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at an annual average flow not to exceed 2,500,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on August 18, 2020. The facility is located at 2501 Seven Oaks Road, in Fannin County, Texas 75418. The treated effluent is discharged to Pig Branch; thence to Bois d’Arc Creek; thence to Red River Below Lake Texoma in Segment No. 0202 of the Red River Basin. The unclassified receiving water uses are limited aquatic life use for Pig Branch and intermediate aquatic life use for Bois d’Arc Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 0202 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application. https: / /tceq.maps.arcgis. com/apps/webappviewer /index.html ?id=db5bac44afbc468bbddd36of 8168 25of&marker=- 96.155931%2C 33 .588 952&level=12 The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Bonham City Hall, 514 Chestnut Street, Bonham, Texas. PUBLIC COMMENT/ PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period; and the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing.” If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
