IN THE NATTER OF THE S
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S S BEFORE THE
NONCOMPLIANCE REPORT S
CONCERNING THE S TEXAS WATER COMMISSION
CITY OF WYLIE S
PERMIT NO. 10384-01 S
NOTICE OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S
NONCOMPLIANCE REPORT AND PETITION FOR ORDER
ASSESSING ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES AND REQUIRING
CERTAIN ACTIONS OF THE CITY OF WYLIE
TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE TEXAS WATER COMMISSION:
COMES NOW, the Executive Director of the Texas Water
Commission ( "Commission" ) , by and through a representative of the
Legal Division, requesting an order from the Commission assessing
administrative penalties for past violations of Chapter 26 of the
Texas Water Code ( "Code") as well as an enforcement order requiring
certain actions of the City of Wylie, ( "City" ) , as set out below.
In support of these requests, the Executive Director would show the
following:
I .
The City is a municipality in Collin County incorporated under
the laws of Texas. The City is authorized to discharge .8 million
gallons per day into stream segment No. 0820 pursuant to Permit No.
10384-01, attached hereto as Exhibit "A. " The designated uses for
Stream Segment No. 0820 are contact recreation, high quality
aquatic habitat, and public water supply.
II .
Section 26 . 121 of the Code prohibits the discharge of waste
into or adjacent to the waters in the State, except as authorized
by rule, permit or order issued by the Commission.
III.
The City is not authorized by rule, permit, or order of the
Commission to discharge waste into or adjacent to any waters in the
State, unless such discharge complies with the treatment limits
specified in Permit No. 10384-01.
IV.
The City has been operating a pump and haul program which
involves loading sewage into a vehicular mounted vacuum tank and
transporting the sewage to a point where the sewage is then
transported to the treatment plant by gravity flow. The City
agrees that this is an unreliable system but has failed to obtain
necessary funding to resolve these problems. From May 1988 to the
present at least 10,000 gallons per day have been hauled in the
City.
V.
The City of Wylie is currently under a Commission Order dated
June 24, 1987 due to noncompliant TSS discharges in April and June
of 1986. A penalty of $7,500 was assessed for the violations .
Provision 2L of the order required the City to submit to the
Executive Director of the Commission "a prioritized schedule
outlining planned collection system repairs and improvements in the
City of Wylie' s collection system. " The plan was to be submitted
to the Executive Director for review and approval within 210 days
of issuance of the order, or January 20, 1988.
VI .
The City did submit a preliminary schedule and report on
January 5, 1988, but informed the Staff of the Commission that the
schedule was conditional on City Council approval . The City
Council did not approve the schedule and the City withdrew its
submission. Thus, the City failed to have a report on file
pursuant to requirement 2L of the order. No plan approved by the
City Council has been filed by the City which has been approved by
the Executive Director.
VII .
Provision P of the June 24, 1987 Order required the City to
prepare quarterly reports setting forth the 30-day average effluent
values for BOD and TSS for the facility, identifying any
violations of the BOD and TSS limits, and calculating the
penalties the City is required to pay under the Order.
VIII.
Since the Commission order was issued on June 24, 1987, at
least seven bypasses have occurred from various lift stations and
force mains within the collection system. The City of Wylie has
paid $700 in stipulated penalties for those bypasses.
Ix.
Sections 26.136(a) and (b) of the Code allows the Commission
to assess civil penalties of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000)
per day for violations of Chapter 26 of the Code or Commission
permits, rules, or orders. In determining the amount of the
penalty, 526 . 136(c) ( 1)-(4) of the Code requires the Commission to
consider the extent, gravity and impact of the violation, the
history of non-compliance, degree of culpability, good faith
2
efforts to comply or remedy, economic benefit of noncompliance,
further deterrence, and any other matters that justice may require.
X.
The Executive Director has considered the above-noted factors
and issued a Preliminary Enforcement Report, attached hereto as
Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference, setting forth the
facts and circumstances surrounding these violations. Based upon
the analyses set out therein, the Executive Director has calculated
cumulative penalties of $4,160 for the violations alleged.
Section 26. 136(n) of the Code allows the Commission to
compromise, modify or remit, with or without condition, any civil
penalty assessed.
XI.
Section 26 .019 of the Code authorizes the Commission to issue
orders and make determinations necessary to effectuate the purposes
of Chapter 26 of the Texas Water Code.
Accordingly, the Executive Director requests that the City be
ordered to:
1. Pay an administrative penalty in the amount of $4, 160 .00.
2. Pay stipulated administrative penalties for failure to
cease the pump-and-haul program. Pumping and/or hauling
sewage at any time during the month, and from any point
in the City shall result in a violation of this
requirement. The penalties shall be in accordance with
the following schedule:
Time Penalty
Per Month
January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1990 $500
December 31, 1990 through December 31, 1991 $1,000;
3. Pay stipulated administrative penalties for each
bypassing event within the collection system in
accordance with the following schedule:
Time Penalty,
Per Event
Signature of Order through December 31, 1989 $100
January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1990 $1,900
January 1, 1991 through December 31, 1991 $2,900
4 . Commencing from the date on which the second Commission
Order is signed, the City shall prepare quarterly reports
that identify any violations of the second Order and the
3
appropriate penalty. The first report shall be submitted
by July 30, 1989 and will cover the period from the date
the second Order is signed through June 30, 1989 .
Subsequent quarterly reports shall be submitted on the
30th day following the end of each calendar quarter.
These reports shall be submitted to the Enforcement
Section of the Commission' s Water Quality Division. The
quarterly reports shall summarize the efforts put forth
by the City to comply with the second Order and the
status of construction for the necessary improvements .
In addition, the reports shall contain the number of
connections added to the system per month, and the
industry's compliance with the City's Industrial Waste
Ordinance.
5. The City shall, at all times, enforce its Industrial
Waste Ordinance. During the pendency of a Commission
Order, the City shall document the dates of inspection of
industrial facilities, the findings of such inspections,
and the actions of the City resulting from such
inspections;
6 . The City shall, by no later than September 1, 1989, have
completed construction, and placed in service, the
expanded wastewater treatment plant. Should this
September 1, 1989 deadline not be met, the City shall pay
stipulated penalties for each day following the City' s
failure to comply with the deadline specified herein,
according to the following schedule:
(i) 1st through 29th day: $125.00 per day;
(ii) 30th through 59th day: $250.00 per day;

(iv) each day following the 119th day: $500.00 per day;
7 . The City shall modify the construction schedule to allow
any unit which will provide improved interim treatment to
be available for beneficial use on a priority basis;
8. Commencing with the issuance of a Commission Order and
continuing through completion of construction of the
expanded wastewater treatment plant, the City shall pay
stipulated administrative penalties of $0.07 for each
pound of BOD in excess of 150 lb/day daily average and
$0.05 for each pound of TSS in excess of 150 lb/day daily
average for each day of violation;
9 . Commencing from the date on which this Order becomes
final, the City shall prepare a quarterly report setting
forth the thirty-day average effluent values for BOD and
TSS for the facility for which stipulated penalties) are
provided under the previous provision of this Order
4
during the period covered in the quarterly report and
identifying any violations as provided herein (6 and 8)
and calculating the penalties that the City is required
to pay under the provisions of this Order for such
violations. The stipulated penalties for violations of
BOD thirty-day average pollutant loading and TSS
thirty-day average pollutant loading shall be computed on
the basis of [ (thirty-day average concentration of
BOD /TSS (mg/1) ) x (8.34) x (thirty-day average flow
(MGb) - (150 lb/day daily average) ] ($0. per pound) x
(number of days in month) . Reports shall be submitted no
later than thirty (30) days following each quarterly
reporting period to the Enforcement Section of the Water
Quality Division of the Texas Water Commission.
10. The Enforcement Section shall review the reports filed
pursuant to Provision 4 and Provision 9 for the purpose
of verifying the violations and penalty computations and
will notify the City in writing of acceptance of the
City's penalty computation. If the Enforcement Section
disputes any report by the City concerning violations
and/or penalty computations, it shall notify the City in
writing of this fact and the reasons for refusal to
verify the report. The City and the Executive Director
shall attempt to resolve any disputed issues on an
informal basis. Should informal consultations fail to
resolve the dispute, either party is entitled to a
hearing before the Commission, after notice to the other
party and to the Public Interest Advocate. Stipulated
penalties shall be paid to "The General Revenue Fund of
the State of Texas" , and payment shall be mailed to the
Chief Fiscal Officer, Texas Water Commission, P. 0. Box
13087, Capitol Station, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, "Re:
The city of Wylie Enforcement Order" , within thirty (30)
days from the date on which the Commission verifies the
penalty computation.
11. If an event occurs which causes or may cause a delay in
compliance with any provisions of this Order, the City
shall notify the Executive Director in writing within
thirty (30) days of the date on which the City becomes
aware of the occurrence of the event(s) , describing the
cause(s) for the event(s) , the projected length of delay
in compliance with any provisions of this Order and the
reason(s) therefor, and the measure(s) taken or proposed
to be taken by the City to minimize such delay and to
achieve compliance as soon as possible. Copies of each
report submitted to the Executive Director under this
provision shall be provided, by separate cover, to the
Texas Water Commission District 4 Office and the
Enforcement Section of the Commission' s Water Quality
Division within the same 30-day period. The Executive
5
Director shall review any report submitted under this
provision and shall advise the City, in writing, within
thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such report,
whether he has determined that the delay has been caused
or will be caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable
control of, and without the fault of the City, and
whether he accepts any proposed revision(s) , including a
summary of the Executive Director's reasons for any
disapproval of the City' s report. By mutual agreement of
the Executive Director and the City, either 30-day period
may be extended. At the conclusion of the Executive
Director's review:
a. if the Executive Director and the City are in
agreement that the cause(s) of the delay are not the
fault of the City and, in the case of construction
deadlines, that the revision(s) to any affected
construction deadline(s) is justified, then the
Executive Director and the City shall submit to the
Commission, with notice to the Public Interest
Advocate, a stipulation for appropriate revision(s)
of the affected provision of this Order and a
stipulation that no penalties shall be assessed for
failure to comply with such performance deadline(s)

discharge. Multiple measurements of instantaneous maxissa flow within a two-hour period may be
compared to the permitted 2-hour peak flow.
d. Daily maximum flow - the highest total flow permitted for a 24-hour period.
2. Concentration Measurements
a. Daily average concentration - the arithmetic average weighted by flow value of all effluent
samples, composite or grab, within a period of one calendar month, consisting of at least four
separate representative measurements. When four samples are not available in a calendar month,
the arithmetic average (weighted by flow) of all values in the previous four consecutive month
period consisting of at least four measurements shall be utilized as the daily average
concentration.
b. 7-day average concentration - the arithmetic average of all effluent samples, composite or grab,
within a period of one calendar week, consisting of at least three separate measurements.
c. Daily maximum concentration - the maximum concentration measured on a single day (by composite
sample).

3. Sample Type
a. Composite sample - a sample made up of a minimum of three effluent portions collected in a
continuous 24-hour period or during the period of daily discharge if less than 24 hours, and
combined in volumes proportional to flow collected no closer than two hours; or a sample
continuously collected, proportional to flow, in a continuous 24-hour period or during the period
of daily discharge if less than 24 hours.
b. Grab sample - an individual sample collected in less than 15 minutes.
4. Permitted Facility (facility) - Wastewater facilities used in the conveyance, storage, treatment,
recycling, reclamation and/or disposal of municipal sewage, industrial wastes, agricultural wastes,
recreational wastes or other wastes including sludge handling or disposal facilities under the

Citation of Noncompliance: Texas Water Code Section 26.121
Description of Noncompliance:
The City of Wylie violated requirement 2L of an existing
Texas Water Commission (TWC) Order issued June 24, 1987 . The
City of Wylie submitted a preliminary report that outlined a
schedule for collection system repairs. The preliminary
report was submitted within the deadline; however, the City
informed the staff of the TWC that the report was a tentative

Receiving Stream:
The effluent outfall 001 is located in an unnamed tributary
of Muddy Creek; which drains in Muddy Creek thence into Lake
Ray Hubbard in Segment No. 0820 of the Trinity River Basin.
The designated uses of this segment according to the April,
1988 Texas Surface Water Quality Standards are contact
recreation, high quality aquatic habitat, and public water
supply. The metabolic activity of the large algal
populations, as a result of high nutrient levels found in
this segment, cause periodic depressed dissolved oxygen
levels (from Texas Water Commission Publication LP 86-07, The
State of Texas Water Quality Inventory, 8th Ed. , 1986) .
Description of Treatment System:
The existing City of Wylie Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
is an activated sludge, extended aeration system consisting
of a lift station, comminutor, oxidation ditch, final
clarifier, chlorination facilities, and sludge drying beds.
Any raw wastewater bypassing the plant during emergencies
receives chlorination prior to discharge.

Summary of Woncompliances and Associated Penalties
A. Penalty
Violation Recommended
Failure to comply with $4,160
requirement 2L of the
TWC Order dated June 24, 1987 .
B. Discussion:
The City of Wylie WWTP is located south of State Highway 78
and west of Birmingham Street, in the southwestern section of
Wylie in Collin County. The facility discharges into an
unnamed tributary of Muddy Creek; which drains into Muddy
Creek thence into Lake Ray Hubbard in Segment No. 0820 of the
Trinity River Basin. The facility serves the residents of
the City of Wylie, with a population of approximately 7,200
people and three industries.
The City of Wylie is currently under a TWC Order dated June
24, 1987 for noncompliant TSS discharges in April and June of
1986. A penalty of $7,500 was assessed for the violations.
The Order also required the City of Wylie to enforce its
Industrial Waste Ordinance, submit a sludge management plan,
evaluate the existing treatment plant and collection system,
initiate and complete construction of plant expansion, and
submit a plan for review and approval that would provide the
necessary collection system additions necessary to eliminate
the pump-and-haul program. Stipulated penalties were tied to
compliance with construction schedules, bypass events from
the collection system, and effluent violations for loading
parameters. The existing Order also required the submission
of quarterly reports outlining compliance with the Order, the
effluent quality, and any stipulated penalties that were
necessary. I (
There are currently )11 to -46 small lift stations throughout
the City of Wylie. The City allowed development to occur and
continue in areas where there was not a receiving sewer line
within a reasonable distance. This policy resulted in the
mobile sewage collection system which requires the
pump-and-haul program that is currently in effect. The
system depends on a vehicular mounted vacuum tank into which
the collected sewage from these developments is loaded and
transported to a point within the existing infrastructure
which can transport the sewage to the treatment plant by
gravity flow. The City agrees that this is an unreliable
system; however, it has failed to attain the funding
necessary to resolve the problems.
On February 2, 1987 the City of Wylie requested permission
from the Texas Department of Health to pump-and-haul sewage
from new subdivisions, businesses, or residences on a
temporary basis until a more permanent sewage conveyance
system could be constructed. On March 20, 1987, and on March
24 1987 the Texas Department of Health sent letters of
approval to the City of Wylie. The approval letters
incorporated numerous requirements. The following
requirements were not, and still are not being met:
1. Stored sewage must be kept in an aerobic condition with
the dissolved oxygen maintained at a minimum of 1 . 0
mg/1.
2. Sewage hauling shall not be approved after March 20,
1988.
3. The holding tanks shall be fenced with controlled
access.
4. Dual holding tanks shall be provided at each site, each
tank sized for 24-hour storage.
5. Holding tanks shall have a high water alarm system with
automatic switch-over to the spare tank.
6. The maximum volume of wastewater to be hauled shall not
exceed 9,000 gallons per day.
On October 20, 1988 the City of Wylie requested an extension
of the pump-and-haul program. On November 10, 1988 the Texas
Department of Health approved the extension with the same
conditions. From May 1988 to the present at least 10,000
gallons per day (average) have been hauled in the City of
Wylie. No records are maintained as to the dissolved oxygen
level of the raw sewage, the holding tanks are not fenced,
dual holding tanks are not provided, and no high water alarm
system is operable.
Item 2.L. of the existing TWC Order, issued on June 24, 1987
required the City of Wylie to ". . .within 210 days of the
issuance of this Commission Order, submit to the Executive
Director of the Commission for review and approval a
prioritized schedule outlining planned collection system
repairs and improvements in the City of Wylie' s collection
system. Upon approval by the Executive Director this
schedule shall become part of this Order" . As a result of
this requirement the City of Wylie was required to submit a
schedule by January 20, 1988.
A preliminary report and schedule was submitted by the City
of Wylie for the wastewater system improvements on January 5,
1988. The preliminary report was submitted within the
deadline; however, the City informed the staff of the TWC
that the report was a tentative submission and conditional
until approved by the City Council. The City Council did not
approve the report, and requested that it be withdrawn.
Therefore, the City failed to have a report on file pursuant
to requirement 2L of the Order. The conditional schedule was
as follows:

On December 20, 1988 the staff of the TWC met with the City
of Wylie regarding the violations of the existing Order. The
City informed the TWC that there still was not an approved
plan. The staff of the TWC stressed that a deadline of
January 1, 1990 for completion of all projects was going to
be maintained by the TWC. Several options were discussed to
alleviate the pump-and-haul program within the January 1,
1990 deadline.
On January 18, 1989, almost one year late, the City of Wylie
submitted a plan that had been approved by the City Council
with a schedule as follows:
Jan. 20, 1989 Submit Report & Construction Schedule to
the TWC Enforcement Section.
March 1, 1989 Submit Construction Plans for Review to
the TWC Enforcement Section & Texas
Water Development Board. Begin Right of
Way Acquisition.
June 22, 1989 Advertise for bids on Project.
July 11, 1989 Open Bids for Project.
July 27, 1989 Award Bid Contingent upon Texas Water
Development Board Approval.
August, 1989 Texas Water Development Board Approval.
Notice to proceed issued.
Sept. 7 , 1989 Pre-Construction Meeting.
Sept. 11, 1989 Begin Construction.
March 31, 1990 Steel Road Extension and Highway 78
Sewer Substantially Complete.
Dec. 31, 1990 Balance of Project Substantially
Complete.
On February 1, 1989 plans and specifications were submitted
to the Plans & Specifications Review Section of the TWC. The
plans were for Phase I and included construction of a new
lift station, 2,298 feet of 8-inch force main, and 652 feet
of 36-inch gravity main. Construction of these improvements
was completed prior to submission of the plans for approval
by the TWC.
Since the original Order was issued on June 24, 1987 at least
seven bypasses have occurred from various lift stations and
force mains within the collection system. The bypasses were
covered by stipulated penalties in the first Order and the
City of Wylie has paid $700 for those seven bypasses. The
existing collection system is inadequate to meet the needs of
the City, and the existing pump-and-haul program was only
intended as a short-term solution to the problem.
II.
Technical Recommendations
The City of Wylie shall be ordered to:
1. Pay stipulated administrative penalties for failure to
cease the pump-and-haul program. Pumping and/or hauling
sewage at any time during the month, and from any point
in the City shall result in a violation of this
requirement. The penalties shall be in accordance with
the following schedule:
Time Penalty per month
Jan. 1, 1990 through Dec. 31, 1990 $500
Dec. 31, 1990 through Dec. 31, 1991 $1,000;

3. Commencing from the date on which the second TWC Order
is signed, the City shall prepare quarterly reports that
identify any violations of the second Order and the
appropriate penalty. The first report shall be
submitted by July 30, 1989 and will cover the period
from the date the second Order is signed through June
30, 1989. Subsequent quarterly reports shall be
submitted on the 30th day following the end of each
calendar quarter. The quarterly reports shall summarize
the efforts put forth by the City to comply with the
second Order and the status of construction for the
necessary improvements. In addition, the reports shall
contain the number of connections added to the system
per month, and industry's compliance with the
permittee's Industrial Waste Ordinance. Any stipulated
penalties shall be submitted within 45 days from the end
of each calendar quarter;
4. The permittee shall, at all times, enforce its
Industrial Waste Ordinance. During the pendency of a
Commission Order, the permittee shall document the dates
of inspection of industrial facilities, the findings of
such inspections, and the actions of the permittee
resulting from such inspections;
5. The permittee shall, by no later than September 1, 1989,
have completed construction, and placed in service, the
expanded wastewater treatment plant. Should this
September 1, 1989 deadline not be met, the permittee
shall pay stipulated penalties for each day following
the permittee's failure to comply with the deadline
specified herein, according to the following schedule:
(i) 1st through 29th day: $125.00 per day;

6. The permittee shall modify the construction schedule to
allow any unit which will provide improved interim
treatment to be available for beneficial use on a
priority basis;
7. Commencing with the issuance of a Commission Order and
continuing through completion of construction of the
expanded wastewater treatment plant, the permittee shall
pay stipulated administrative penalties of $0. 07 for
each pound of BOD in excess of 150 lb/day daily average
and $0.05 for each pound of TSS in excess of 150 lb/day
daily average for each day of violation;
8. Commencing from the date on which this Order becomes
final, the permittee shall prepare a quarterly report
setting forth the thirty-day average effluent values for
BOD and TSS for the facility for which stipulated
penalties are provided under the previous provision of
this Order during the period covered in the quarterly
report and identifying any violations as provided herein
( 5 and 7) and calculating the penalties that the
permittee is required to pay under the provisions of
this Order for such violations. The stipulated
penalties for violations of BOD thirty-day average
pollutant loading and TSS thirty-day average pollutant
loading shall be computed on the basis of [ (thirty-day
average concentration of BOD /TSS (mg/1) ) x (8. 34) x
(thirty-day average flow (MGD) - (150 lb/day daily
average) ] ($0. per pound) x (number of days in
month) . Reports shall be submitted no later than thirty
( 30) days following each quarterly reporting period to
the Enforcement Section of the Commission's Water
Quality Division.
9. If an event occurs which causes or may cause a delay in
compliance with any provisions of this Order, the City
shall notify the Executive Director in writing within
thirty (30) days of the date on which the City becomes
aware of the occurrence of the event(s) , describing the
cause(s) for the event(s) , the projected length of delay
in compliance with any provisions of this Order and the
reason(s) therefor, and the measure(s) taken or proposed
to be taken by the City to minimize such delay and to
achieve compliance as soon as possible. Copies of each
report submitted to the Executive Director under this
provision shall be provided, by separate cover, to the
Texas Water Commission District 4 Office and the
Enforcement Section of the Commission's Water Quality
Division within the same 30-day period. The Executive
Director shall review any report submitted under this
provision and shall advise the City, in writing, within
thirty ( 30) days from the date of receipt of such
report, whether he has determined that the delay has
been caused or will be caused by circumstances beyond
the reasonable control of, and without the fault of the
City, and whether he accepts any proposed revision(s) ,
including a summary of the Executive Director's reasons
for any disapproval of the City's report. By mutual
agreement of the Executive Director and the City, either
30-day period may be extended. At the conclusion of the
Executive Director's review:
a. if the Executive Director and the City are in
agreement that the cause(s) of the delay are not
the fault of the City and, in the case of
construction deadlines, that the revision(s) to any
affected construction deadline(s) is justified,
then the Executive Director and the City shall
submit to the Commission, with notice to the Public
Interest Advocate, a stipulation for appropriate
revision(s) of the affected provision of this Order
and a stipulation that no penalties shall be
assessed for failure to comply with such
performance deadline(s) for the Commission' s review
and approval; or

in compliance with any provision(s) of this Order
or the appropriate revision(s) to any provision(s)
of this Order, then the City shall, within thirty
(30) days of the date on which the City receives
notice of the Executive Director's decision,

PENALTY COMPUTATION TICEMSHEET
Permittee: City of Wylie
108 S. Jackson Street
Wylie, Texas 75098
Permit Number: 10384-01
Citation of Noncompliance: Texas Water Code Section 26.121
Description of Noncompliance:
The City of Wylie violated requirement 2L of an existing
Texas Water Commission (TWC) Order issued June 24, 1987 . The
City of Wylie submitted a preliminary report that outlined a
schedule for collection system repairs. The preliminary
report was submitted within the deadline; however, the City
informed the staff of the TWC that the report was a tentative
submission and conditional until approved by the City
Council. The City Council did not approve the report, and
requested that it be withdrawn. Therefore, the City failed
to have a report on file pursuant to requirement 2L of the
Order.
Part I - Recommended Penalty Range Based on Violation
1. Level of Extent & Gravity of Violation: Major
2. Level of Impact or Hazard of Violation: Moderate
Recommended Penalty Range: $3,200 to $4,399
Justification:
The extent and gravity of the violation is major since
the City of Wylie has not complied with the terms of the
agreed Order. The City has failed to comply with the
terms of the Order, the agreement with the Texas
Department of Health, and have not made satisfactory
attempts to implement a program that would resolve the
noncompliance. The impact or hazard of the violation is
moderate since it represents a potential for a
measurable impact on the water course, public health and
the environment. Failure to submit and implement a plan
and schedule has resulted in continued bypasses in
residential areas which are a health hazard.
Part II - Penalty Range Adjustments
1. History of Noncompliance (upward adjustment of 20%) :
Justification:
The City of Wylie was informed by the Texas Department
of Health and the Texas Water Commission that the
pump-and-haul program could only be a temporary
solution. As such, this method of sewage transport was
initially granted on the basis, and with the
understanding, that a permanent solution would be
initiated as soon as possible (the City of Wylie began
the pump-and-haul program on March 24, 1987) . A
permanent solution was addressed and agreed upon in the
June 24, 1987 Agreed Order. When the City Council
failed to approve the program that represented the
permanent solution to the problems plaguing the City,
and failed to approve two other programs subsequent to
that first program, the City violated provision 2L of
the Agreed Order, violated the intent of the Order, and
allowed the noncompliances and bypasses to continue that
brought about the need for further enforcement action.
By failing to approve the plan the City presented to the
TWC as its intended solution to the collection system
problem, the City allowed the pump-and-haul system to
continue with no established termination date.
2. Degree of Culpability (upward adjustment of 20%) :
Justification:
The City of Wylie had a plan prepared, and submitted to
the TWC, that would resolve the problems in accordance
with provision 2L of the first Order. The City Council
made a decision that it was not willing to comply with
the terms of the report submitted by the City.
3. Good Faith Efforts to Comply/Remedy (no adjustment) :
Justification:
The City of Wylie waited one year from the original
deadline to submit a plan that was approved by the City
Council. The plan that was finally submitted extended
the deadline beyond the date the TWC and the City had
agreed upon and that the TWC was willing to accept.
4. Economic Benefit of Noncompliance (upward adjustment of 20%) :
Justification:
Failure to initiate construction of the improvements and
cease the pump-and-haul program in a reasonable time
have resulted in a substantial economical benefit. The
City informed the TWC that the main reason they were not
willing to comply with provision 2L of the Agreed Order
and construct the necessary improvements was because of
the problems involved with raising taxes or issuing
bonds to fund the improvements.
5. Enhanced Penalty Needed to Deter Future Violations (upward
adjustment of 20%) :
Justification:
The City of Wylie was familiar with the terms and
conditions of the Agreed Order, and knowingly failed to
comply with provision 2L.
Total Penalty Range Adjustment: +80%
Part III-Recommoended Total Penalty Calculation (Part I + Part II) :
$3,200 + (80% x $1,199) = $4,160
Total Penalty Amount Per Event: $4,160
Total Number of Penalty Events: 1
Total Penalty Amount: $4,160

IN THE MATTER OF THE S
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S S BEFORE THE
NONCOMPLIANCE REPORT S
CONCERNING THE CITY S TEXAS WATER COMMISSION
OF WYLIE, PERMIT NO. S
10384-01 S
ENFORCEMENT ORDER
On the day of , 1989, the Texas Water
Commission ( "Commission" ) considered the Noncompliance Report,
Notice and Petition of the Executive Director for an Order
assessing administrative penalties and requiring certain actions of
the City of Wylie ( "City" ) , and the proposed Enforcement Order.
Having heard the evidence and argument of the parties, the
Commission hereby makes the following Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The City is a municipality in Collin County, incorporated
under the laws of Texas which owns a wastewater treatment
plant located south of State Highway 78 and west of Birmingham
Street, in the southwestern sections of Wylie in Collin
County.
2 . The City is authorized to discharge .8 million gallons per day
into an unnamed tributary of Muddy Creek, thence to Muddy
Creek, and thence into Lake Ray Hubbard in Segment No. 0820 of
the Trinity River Basin.
3. The designated use for Stream Segment 0820 are contact
recreation, high quality aquatic habitat, and public water
supply.
4 . The City has been operating a pump and haul program which
involves loading sewage into a vehicular mounted vacuum tank
and transporting the sewage to a point where the sewage is
then transported to the treatment plant by gravity flow. The
City agrees that this is an unreliable system but has failed
to obtain necessary funding to resolve these problems . From
May 1988 to the present at least 10,000 gallons per day have
been hauled in the City.
5 . The City of Wylie is currently under a Commission Order dated
June 24, 1987 for noncompliant TSS discharges in April and
June of 1986 . A penalty of $7,500 was assessed for the
violations. Provision 2L of the order required the City to
submit to the Executive Director of the Commission "a
prioritized schedule outlining planned collection system
repairs and improvements in the City of Wylie's collection
system. " The plan was to be submitted to the Executive
Director for review and approval within 210 days of issuance
of the order, or January 20, 1988.
6. The City did submit a preliminary schedule and report on
January 5, 1988, but informed the Staff of the Commission that
the schedule was conditional on City Council approval. The
City Council did not approve the schedule and the City
withdrew its submission. Thus, the City failed to have a
report on file pursuant to requirement 2L of the order. No
plan approved by the City Council has been filed by the City
which has been approved by the Executive Director.
7 . Provision P of the June 24, 1987 Order required the City to
prepare quarterly reports setting forth the 30-day average
effluent values for BOD and TSS for the facility, identifying
any violations of the BOD and TSS limits, and calculating the
penalties the City is required to pay under the Order.
8. Since the Commission order was issued on June 24 . 1987, at
least seven bypasses have occurred from various lift stations
and force mains within the collection system. The City of
Wylie has paid $700 in stipulated penalties for those
bypasses.
9. The Executive Director has issued a Noncompliance Report
concerning violations by the City. Concurrently with the
issuing and filing of his Noncompliance Report, the Executive
Director has given notice of the Petition, proposed
Enforcement Order, and Report to the City, including a brief
summary of the alleged violations and the terms of the
proposed order. The City has been advised that such request
must be in writing and must be filed with the Commission not
later than the twentieth (20th) day after the date on which
the notice is received by the City. Alternatively, the City
has been advised that it may file written consent to all or
part of the Executive Director' s Report, Petition and proposed
Order.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. Section 26 . 121 of the Code prohibits the discharge of waste
into or adjacent to the waters in the State, except as
authorized by rule, permit or order issued by the Commission.
2. The City is not authorized by rule, permit, or order of the
Commission to discharge waste into or adjacent to any waters
in the State, unless such discharge complies with the
treatment limits specified in Permit No. 10384-01.
2
3. Section 26. 136(a) and (b) of the Texas Water Code (the "Code" )
allows the Commission to assess civil penalties of up to ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) per day for violations of Chapter
26 of the Code or Commission permit, rules, or orders.
4. The City has violated provisions 2L of the June 24, 1987
Commission order.
5. Section 26 .019 of the Code authorizes the Commission to issue
orders and make determinations necessary to effectuate the
purposes of chapter 26 of the Texas Water Code.
6 . The City should be ordered to undertake such actions as are
necessary to effectuate compliance with the provisions of
Chapter 26 of the Code, Permit No. 10384-01, and the June 24,
1987 Order.
