District staff circulated a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality notice of receipt of application and intent to obtain a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit for a produced-water treatment facility owned by Texas Pacific Water Resources LLC.
The notice, provided to the Reeves County Groundwater Conservation District at the board's May 16, 2024 meeting, lists the proposed permit number as WQ0005454000 (EPA I.D. No. TX0145661) and says the applicant seeks authorization for discharge of treated wastewater up to a daily average flow not to exceed 2,730,000 gallons per day. The facility is described in the notice as located approximately 2.10 miles north of the intersection of County Road 446 and FM Road 652 West in Reeves County, Texas.
The document was circulated as correspondence during the meeting; staff did not report a board decision or public comment on the permit at that time. The TCEQ notice is a procedural step indicating receipt of the application and the agency's intent to process the permit request; the board did not take regulatory action at the meeting.
