TCEQ received this application on August 8, 2017. The facility is located at 14950 Cypress Green Drive, in Harris County, Texas 77429. The treated effluent is discharged to Little Cypress Creek; thence to Cypress Creek in Segment No. 1009 of the San Jacinto River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is high aquatic life use for Little Cypress Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 1009 are high aquatic life use, public water supply, and primary contact recreation. All determinations are preliminary and subject to additional review and/ or revisions. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility s general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice.
