Final NPDES General Permit 

Modification for Discharges From the 

Oil and Gas Extraction Point Source 

Category to Coastal Waters in Texas 

and Onshore Stripper Well Category 

East of the 98th Meridian (TXG330000) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final decision of NPDES general 

permit modification. 

SUMMARY: The Director of the Water 

Quality Protection Division, for the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

Region 6 today announces issuance of 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 183 / Monday, September 22, 2014 / Notices 56577 

the final permit modifications for the 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) general 

permit (TXG330000) regulating 

discharges from oil and gas wells in the 

Coastal Subcategory in Texas and in the 

Stripper Subcategory which discharge 

into waters in Texas. These 

modifications would restore coverage 

eligibility for certain inland discharges 

that existed in the previous permit and 

require freshwater whole effluent 

toxicity species for discharges to 

freshwater receiving waters. 

EPA proposed the draft permit 

modification in the Federal Register on 

December 2, 2013. EPA Region 6 has 

considered all comments received and 

makes few significant changes to the 

proposed permit. A copy of the Region’s 

responses to comments and the final 

permit may be obtained from the EPA 

Region 6 internet site: http://

www.epa.gov/region6/water/npdes/

genpermit/index.htm. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Evelyn Rosborough, Region 6, U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 

Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202–2733. 

Telephone: (214) 665–7515. 

DATES: This permit modification is 

effective on September 22, 2014, and 

expires July 6, 2017. In accordance with 

40 CFR 23, this permit shall be 

considered issued for the purpose of 

judicial review on October 6, 2014. 

Under section 509(b) of the CWA, 

judicial review of this general permit 

can be held by filing a petition for 

review in the United States Court of 

Appeals within 120 days after the 

permit is considered issued for judicial 

review. Under section 509(b)(2) of the 

CWA, the requirements in this permit 

may not be challenged later in civil or 

criminal proceedings to enforce these 

requirements. In addition, this permit 

may not be challenged in other agency 

proceedings. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Changes from the proposed permit 

modification include: 

1. Add ‘‘no visible sheen’’ limit to 

produced water discharges to inland 

waters; 

2. Replace acute 48-hour toxicity 

freshwater testing with acute 24-hour 

toxicity LC–50 freshwater and remove 

the cease discharge requirement; and 

3. Set October 1, 2017, deadline to 

comply with the acute Toxicity LC–50 

limit. 

Other Legal Requirements 

A. State Certification 

Under section 401(a)(1) of the CWA, 

EPA may not issue an NPDES permit 

until the State in which the discharge 

will occur grants or waives certification 

to ensure compliance with appropriate 

requirements of the CWA and State law. 

The Railroad Commission of Texas 

issued the 401 certification on May 30, 

2014. 

B. Other Regulatory Requirements 

When EPA issued the general permit 

in 2012, EPA had conducted evaluations 

required by Coastal Zone Management 

Act, National Environmental Policy Act, 

Endangered Species Act, MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act, Historic Preservation 

Act, Paperwork Reduction Act, and 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The scope of 

today’s permit modification action does 

not trigger requirements for new 

evaluations for compliance with those 

regulatory requirements.
