Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a proposed draft Order Adopting Rules of Williamson County, Texas for On-Site Sewage Facilities; with such action to possibly include but not be limited revising the draft Order and granting authorization to submit the proposed draft Order to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for review and comment.

This is the initial step in making application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to become the authorized agent for regulating ?On-Site Sewage Facilities within Williamson County.
  
The TCEQ will review the proposed Order and either issue a written notice to proceed or a written notice of deficiency.   Once the county has received a notice to proceed from TCEQ, the county must set a public hearing date and publish notice of the public meeting at least 72 hours prior to the public meeting, but not more than 30 days prior to the meeting. The notice must appear in a regularly published newspaper of general circulation in the area of jurisdiction.
 
After the public meeting is held, the county must submit a copy of the following items to the TCEQ
• the public notice as it appeared in the newspaper;
• a publisher's affidavit from the newspaper in which the public notice appeared;
• a certified copy of the minutes of the meeting when the order, ordinance, or resolution was adopted; and
• a certified copy of the order, ordinance, or resolution that was passed by the entity.
 
The TCEQ will review the above materials and will either approve delegation or send a letter outlining the deficiencies in the submitted materials. The county's order, ordinance, or resolution will be effective on the date the commission order approving delegation is signed by the executive director. A copy of the signed order, ordinance or resolution will be mailed to the county.
