The permit application, executive director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, the TCEQ Harlingen regional office, and at the Speer Memorial Library, 801 East 12th Street, Mission, Hidalgo County, Texas beginning the first day of publication of this notice.
