Council accepts Dunaway engineering report; North wastewater discharge permit headed to commissioner's court
Summary
Council accepted Dunaway Engineering’s revised report with verbal amendments and heard that the discharge permit for the north wastewater treatment plant has been advanced to a TCEQ commissioner’s court hearing; staff outlined three possible outcomes and next steps.
The council accepted Dunaway Engineering’s report, with a verbal amendment, after staff outlined additional inspection time and ongoing off‑site improvement work. Dunaway representatives explained that on‑site work is complete and the amendments reflect additional time required to finish off‑site inspections and follow through on remaining items.
A city representative updated the council on the discharge‑permit process for the city’s north wastewater treatment plant: the permit advertisement drew public comments and requests for contested‑case hearings; the TCEQ packet indicates the permit will now go to a commissioner’s court hearing (date and which commissioner to be determined). Staff said three outcomes are possible: the commissioner’s court approves the permit as submitted, requests more information and allows additional public comment, or sends the issue to a contested‑case hearing with an administrative law judge.
Council members asked several technical questions about the booster station location, GIS updates, impact‑fee timelines and planned public hearings; Dunaway staff and city engineers committed to providing dates and follow‑up reports. The council then voted to accept the Dunaway engineering report with the verbal changes noted on the record.
