Notice of Public Meeting for TPDES Permit for Municipal
Wastewater: New Permit No. WQ0015990001
APPLICATION. Gram Vikas Partners, Inc., 215 West Bandera Road,
#114-474, Boerne, Texas 78006, has applied to the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0015990001, to autho-
rize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average
flow not to exceed 200,000 gallons per day.
The facility will be located approximately 0.3 mile south-southeast of
the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 1101 and Watson Lane, in
Comal County, Texas 78130. The treated effluent will be discharged to
Mesquite Creek, thence to York Creek, thence to the Lower San Mar-
cos River in Segment No. 1808 of the Guadalupe River Basin. The un-
classified receiving water uses are limited aquatic life use for Mesquite
Creek and York Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 1808
are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic
life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code Section
307.5 and the TCEQ's Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Wa-
ter Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the
receiving waters was performed. A Tier 1 antidegradation review has
preliminarily determined that existing water quality uses will not be
impaired by this permit action. Numerical and narrative criteria to pro-
tect existing uses will be maintained. This review has preliminarily de-
termined that no water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate
aquatic life uses are present within the stream reach assessed; there-
fore, no Tier 2 degradation determination is required. No significant
degradation of water quality is expected in water bodies with excep-
tional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses downstream, and existing
uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination
can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received.

98.011944%2C29.746388&level=12.The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of
the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if ap-
proved, 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.
PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. A public meeting will
be held and will consist of two parts, an Informal Discussion Period and

ing the Formal Comment Period on the permit application, members
of the public may state their formal comments orally into the official

mal comments will be considered before a decision is reached on the
permit application. A copy of the written response will be sent to each
