George ------------------------ Dear Friends of Honey Creek, Last week a few people received notices that Silesia had applied for a new Texas Land Application Permit (TLAP) for Honey Creek Ranch. You can read the notice here<https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=45157466&msgid=494446&act=FD45&c=431426&destination=https%3A%2F%2Faquiferalliance.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F12%2FTCEQ-Notice-of-Application-for-the-TLAP-permit-for-Honey-Creek-Ranch..pdf>.

This means that the clock starts over as this is an application for a new permit. We all need to respond with comments and request a public meeting for Proposed Permit # WQ0015835001 You may also request a contested case hearing. To do so, you must include your name, address, applicants name (Silesia Properties LP) and Proposed Permit # WQ0015835001, the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility, a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public, a list of all disputed issues of the fact that you submit during the comment period, and the statement "I request a contested case hearing". If a contested case hearing is granted, the subject of the hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law related to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. So, make sure that all your concerns are stated in this communication. You may submit your comments on-line<https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=45157466&msgid=494446&act=FD45&c=431426&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww14.tceq.texas.gov%2Fepic%2FeComment> (https://www14.tceq.texas.gov/epic/eComment<https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=45157466&msgid=494446&act=FD45&c=431426&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww14.tceq.texas.gov%2Fepic%2FeComment>) by entering WQ0015835. Or you can mail comments to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, PO Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if the requested by a local legislator. Requests to Representative Beidermann<https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=45157466&msgid=494446&act=FD45&c=431426&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fhouse.texas.gov%2Fmembers%2Fmember-page%2F%3Fdistrict%3D73>, Senator Campbell<https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=45157466&msgid=494446&act=FD45&c=431426&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.senate.texas.gov%2Fmember.php%3Fd%3D25>, and Comal County Commissioners<https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=45157466&msgid=494446&act=FD45&c=431426&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.co.comal.tx.us%2FComm.htm> asking them to contact TCEQ to request a public meeting would be helpful. We had a great meeting at the Mammen Public Library on December 4th. In addition to the new permit, we discussed reports that bull dozers began clearing on the site, in violation of the City of Bulverde's Tree ordinance. * Fundraising: To date $23,555 has been raised assuming we meet the $15,000 match. We still need to raise $7,455 to secure the full match. Brie Jameson and Joyce Moore will work on fundraiser at Honey Creek Cave. This would be a high dollar ticket event. (Thank you, Joyce and Brie!) Julie Whittaker: reported on bids for SAVE HONEY CREEK signs and Facebook info with block font in med blue. Lone Star Reprographics: 4'x8' fence signs in Coroplast. $112 each, 50 Yard signs $10.50 each, stakes $1.50 each and Fast Signs: 4'x8' banner with grommets $145.13 each, 50 Yard signs with stakes $14.80 each. It was agreed that we would get the best bang for the buck by ordering four 4' x 8' fence signs to display at strategic locations. Thanks to all of you for your efforts to date. Our next meeting will be at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 7th at the Mammen Family Public Library (131 Bulverde Crossing). I hope your holidays are wonderful and I look forward to seeing you in 2020!
