Notice of Drinking Water Monitoring and Reporting Violations
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has notified the CITY OF ORE CITY that we have violated the monitoring and reporting requirements set forth in Chapter 30, Section 290, Subchapter F. We are required to properly disinfect water before distribution, maintain acceptable disinfection residuals within the distribution system, monitor the disinfectant residual at various locations throughout the distribution system, and report the results of that monitoring to the TCEQ on a quarterly basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water is protected from microbial contaminations. During the fourth quarter of 2008 beginning October 1, 2008 and ending December 31, 2008, we did not complete all monitoring and/or reporting for disinfectant residual monitoring and reporting, and therefore the TCEQ cannot be sure of the safety of your drinking water during that time.
We are working to correct the problem.
On April 9, 2009, we filed the required reports with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and received electronic conformation of their receipt.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and business). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or disturbing copies by mail.

Effective April 1, 2009 the amount of the Federal Universal Service Charge (FUSC) appearing on your Etex bill each month will increase as a result of an increase in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) universal service fund contribution factor from 9.5 % to 11.3%. The new FUSC amount is calculated by multiplying the FCC’s universal service contribution factor against your interstate access service charges. The federal universal service fund program is designed to help keep local telephone service rates affordable for all customers, in all areas of the United States.

Texas commission on
Environment quality
notice of receipt of
application and intent
to obtain air permit
Proposed air quality
permit number 84664L001
Application Flat Rock Minerals, LLC has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for issuance of Air Quality Permit Number 84664L001, which would authorize construction of a portable rock crushing facility located 5.8 miles southeast of Ore City in Upshur County, Texas. The applicant provides the following directions to the site: from the intersection of FM 2796 and FM 557, travel 3.2 miles to the west on FM 2796. Turn left at the LaFayette Ranch and enter through the gate on the ROW. The facility will emit the following contaminants: organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter including particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter.
This application was submitted to the TCEQ on April 14, 2008. The application is available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, the TCEQ Tyler regional office, and the Upshur County Library, 702 West Tyler, Gilmer, Upshur County, Texas. The facility’s compliance file, if any exists, is available for public review in the Tyler regional office of the TCEQ.
The TCEQ executive director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application.
Public comment/public meeting You may submit public comments, a request for a public meeting, or request a contested case hearing to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. The TCEQ will consider all public comments in developing a final decision on the application. The deadline to submit public comments is 30 days after newspaper is published.
The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or ask questions about the application. A public meeting about the application may be held if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.
If only comments are received on the application, the response to comments, along with the notice of the executive director’s action on the application , will be mailed to everyone who submitted comments or is on the mailing list for this application.
If a hearing request is timely filed, the executive director will complete the technical review, issue a preliminary decision on the application, and a Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the final deadline for submitting public comments.
After the final deadline for public comments following any required Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. If comments are received, the response to comments, along with the executive director’s decision on the application, will then be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or is on a mailing list for this application.
Opportunity for a contested case hearing You may request a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. Unless a written request for a contested case hearing is filed within 30 days from this notice, the executive director may approve the application. If no hearing request is received within this 30-day period, no further opportunity for hearing will be provided. A contested case hearing will only be granted based on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on those issues raised during the public comment period and not withdrawn.
A person who may be affected by emissions of air contaminants from the facility is entitled to request a hearing. If requesting a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name ( or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime phone number, and fax number, if any; (2) applicant’s name and permit number; (3) the statement "(I/we) request a contested case hearing"; (4) a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the application and air emissions from the facility in a way not common to the general public; (5) the location and distance of your property relative to the facility; and (6) a description of how you use the property which may by impacted by the facility. If the request is made by a group or an association, the one or more members who have standing to request a hearing and the interests which the group or association seeks to protect, must also be identified. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the application/permit which would satisfy your concerns.
If a hearing request is timely filed, additional notice may be provided. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the executive director will forward the application and any requests for contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact relating to relevant and material air quality concerns raised during the comment period. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside the Commission’s jurisdiction to address in this proceeding.
Mailing List In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask to be placed on a mailing list to receive future public notices for this specific application mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk by sending a written request to the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
Information Written public comments or requests for a public meeting or contested case hearing should be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. For more information about this permit application or the permitting process, please call the Office of Public Assistance, Toll Free, at 1-800-687-4040.
