Wastewater plant proposed for 117-acre development in New Braunfels

BY AMIRA VAN LEEUWEN

Chesmar Homes and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, or GBRA, have submitted a wastewater permit requesting the authorization to dispose of 460,000 gallons of treated wastewater. The proposed wastewater treatment facility would serve a 117-acre development called Purlsong. During an Oct. 2 Texas Commission on Environ- mental Quality, or TCEQ, public meeting, Comal County residents spoke out against the submitted permit. Purlsong is a mixed-use development that will consist of 148 single-family residences and six multifamily condominium lots for 58 total condos, according to Comal County Commissioners’ agenda documents. The Œnal plat and two variances were approved by commissioners Sept. 25. Variances are when a developer wants to stray away from county subdivision regulations. The county commissioners court must approve all variance requests, Comal County Engineer Robert Boyd told Community Impact . The developer was granted a variance for their setbacks along with 50 feet of right of way instead of the county standard, which is 60 feet, Boyd said. The permit is for a proposed wastewater treat- ment facility and disposal site located 3.5 miles west of the FM 2722 and Hwy. 46 intersection in New Braunfels, according to a news release from the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance, or GEAA. GEAA is a nonproŒt that promotes broad-based advocacy for the protection and preservation of the Edwards Aquifer.

In a 3-1 vote, Comal County commissioners approved the application for $30 million from the Texas Water Development Board, or TWDB, Clean Water State Revolving Fund on Oct. 23. County Judge Sherman Krause was not present and Precinct 2 Commissioner Scott Haag dissented. “We’re going to have to pay [the loan] back, and that’s going to have to come from the property taxes,” Haag said. The fund is authorized through the Clean Water Act passed by Congress in 1972, providing low-cost ’nancial assistance for cities, counties and other authorities in the acquisition, design and construc- tion of water infrastructure across the state. The details If approved by TWDB, the funds would come in the form of a loan to launch the Comal County Water Quality Protection Lands Program for state ’scal year 2026-27, according to commissioners. The program seeks to acquire land in the recharge zones of the Trinity and Edwards aquifers in Comal County in hopes of protecting ground and surface water availability, according to Comal County. The land acquired by the county would be designated as a Priority Groundwater Management Area, or PGMA, by the state. PGMA’s are de’ned as land that is currently experiencing, or is expected to experience in the next 50 years, groundwater shortages or contamination, according to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

between TWDB and Comal County during the pro- cess, and supporting the county through receiving the funds, according to the ’rm. What they’re saying Roxanna Dean, another Comal County resident, spoke about the need for conservation e¤orts now, saying the cost of land and water protections could double in the next decade. “[The loan terms] make this a landmark invest- ment in quality of life, environmental resilience and taxpayer value. This is not government overreach, it is responsible stewardship,” Dean said. Looking ahead The vote allows the county to submit an “Intent to Apply” form to TWDB. A completed application must be submitted to TWDB by Dec. 4, which will review the application and either approve or deny the funds. If approved, closing documents will be ’led and the county will begin providing quarterly outlay reports detailing expenditures and loan repay- ments, according to TWDB.

In that timeline, Comal County’s population is expected to increase from 259,280 in 2030 to over 950,000 by 2080—a 267.58% increase, according to TWDB. The demand would balloon from approximately 58,372 acre-feet, or about 19 billion gallons a year, to over 193,961 acre-feet, or 63 billion gallons, accord- ing to TWDB data. Applying to the TWDB Clean Water State Revolving Fund would unlock key planning and ’nancial support for the county in this endeavor, according to Moriarty and Associates, the law ’rm that put together the application and Project Information Form. Approximately $4.5 million of the loan could be forgiven, with the remaining $25.5 million to be repaid over 30 years at an annual interest rate of approximately 2.91%, Precinct 3 Commissioner Kevin Webb said. This amounts to just over $1 million in loan repayments each year. A $45,000 payment to Moriarty and Associates was also approved by the county to pay for the ’rm’s application submission, acting as liaison

Downtown paid-parking system generates $80K in revenue of the paid-parking system, as well as other mainte- nance and development of the downtown area. Less than 1% of visitors in the paid-parking area received citations in the rst two months of implementation, according to the presentation.

New Braunfels’ department of economic and community development—in partnership with parking management company Interstate Parking— provided an update on the city’s new, downtown paid-parking system during a special city council meeting Oct. 20. What you need to know Interstate Parking is the management rm tasked with creating the guidelines for the paid-parking program. Since its implementation on July 7, the paid-parking structure has generated a total of $154,748, with $80,210 of that amount being reinvested into the program after expenses. Operating costs totaled around $75,000, including enforcement, maintenance and labor, as well as sales and use tax and credit card fees, which the city absorbs as part of the program, said Je‡ Jewell, New Braunfels’ director of economic and community development. The funds go directly back into the enforcement

The cost The paid-parking program was implemented in July. Net revenue: $80,210 Interstate Parking management fees: $51,430

This is partially due to the city’s decision to focus on education over enforcement as the project is in its initial implementation stages—including social media campaigns, open house educational sessions and an informational website, Jewell said. A closer look The economic and community development department added preregistration to the program. This came after residents who were called for jury duty before operating hours were forced to leave the courthouse to start their parking session, and allows jurors and others to preregister their session so they can begin their rst free hour once 10 a.m. rolls around. Other changes could be on the way as well, such as

more Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant spaces and drop-o‡ zones, Jewell said. “We’re in the stage of data collection, monitoring analysis, projecting future demand and trying to decide where new supply needs to be added, evalu- ating any future program changes,” Jewell said. The department hopes to provide another update to council in February, Jewell said.

New Braunfels ISD reopens district libraries The New Braunfels ISD, or NBISD, board of trust- ees lifted the suspension of library services at the district’s middle and high schools during a special board meeting Oct. 23. Secondary school libraries reopened across the district Oct. 27 after closing Oct. 13, pending a full review of over 50,000 titles that were available at some schools. In a nutshell The review of the titles was prompted to ensure alignment with Senate Bill 13, which requires schools across the state to maintain transparent library catalogs, allowing parents to submit a list of books that their child is not allowed to access, according to the bill. Following a review of the titles, the district will mark them as either compliant or noncompliant with SB13. Books found to be non- compliant will be removed from rotation at middle

Comal ISD enrollment projected to grow 14% Comal ISD is forecasted to grow by 14.27% to 34,044 students by 2030, with new home growth expected to spike, according to data presented by Zonda Demographics during an Oct. 9 school board workshop. The district has more than 3,600 multi- family units being built, along with 6,000 similar units in the works for the future, which the district hopes will bolster future enrollment numbers, according to the presentation. Why this matters The quarterly reports provided by Zonda Demographics are one of many factors that help advise the board on future projects and needs for future bond elections, Communi- cations Specialist Salwa Lanford said in an email to Community Impact .

and high schools across the district, according to NBISD. Parents can still challenge additional titles through the district’s website, beginning with an informal review. If the concern is not resolved, the complainant may Šle a formal challenge using the district’s Library Materials Challenge Form. A Library Materials Challenge Committee—made up of an administrator, a librarian, a teacher, and three parents—reviews the book in full and deter- mines whether it complies with SB13, according to the district.

Expansion OK’d for Aumovio facility

Explained

The council approved an amendment to consolidate the initial incentive structure of the Chapter 380 Economic Development Agreement into a Chapter 312 tax abatement. A Chapter 380 Economic Development Agree- ment gives municipalities the authority to oer loans and grants of city funds or services at little or no cost. This helps to promote state and local economic development and to stimulate busi- ness and commercial activity, according to the Texas Comptroller’s website. A Chapter 312 tax abatement is an agreement between a taxpayer and a taxing unit that exempts increases in the value of the property from taxation for up to 10 years. Tax abatements are an economic development tool available to cities, counties and special districts to encourage the retention and devel- opment of existing businesses through property tax exemptions or reductions, the Texas Comp- troller’s website states.

Continental Automotive Systems is expanding its New Braunfels manufacturing facility. New Braunfels City Council approved an economic development agreement with Aumovio—formerly known as Continental Automotive Systems—on Oct. 13 for a 65,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at 440 Kohlenberg Road. The expansion project—dubbed Project Nemo—represents an estimated $110 million in new capital investment, according to a news release. Continental opened its 215,000-square- foot New Braunfels manufacturing location in Fall 2022, representing a $171 million taxable value in 2024. The company’s continued growth has also made it one of New Braunfels’ largest high-tech employers, with an annual payroll range of

$35.9-$42.1 million, according to a news release. Under the approved agreement, the city will provide a 65% property tax abatement on the new expansion for 10 years. The New Braunfels Economic Development Corporation, or NBEDC, will also provide a rebate on building and impact fees, which will be –nalized at a later time, the release states.

expansion will bring high-paying jobs and solidify New Braunfels as a hub for automotive innovation. Since the expansion project has been approved, along with the proposed incentives, construction is anticipated to begin no later than June 30, 2026, according to a September 30 NBEDC meeting presentation.

The project follows a reinvestment zone designation approved by the council in November 2024. This designation is a required step for property tax abatements under state law, and will allow Comal County to approve a similar agreement, the release states.

Renovations to The Faust Hotel near completion Renovations to The Faust Hotel—located in New Braunfels at 240 S. Seguin Ave.—are nearing completion. Project overview The boutique hotel, which closed for renovations in November 2023, will now have 45 guest rooms instead of 63. The decrease in rooms is the result of increasing the room sizes between 100 square feet and 125 square feet, Molly Egan, the hotel’s director of sales, said.

Wastewater plant proposed for 117-acre development in New Braunfels From the cover

What the experts say

Two-minute impact

In an email to Community Impact GBRA said the proposed facility would use advanced membrane bioreactor, or MBR, technology and operate under a no-discharge permit. The plant would be used for irrigation within the development under a Texas Land Application Permit. The facility would expand the organiza- tion’s advanced treatment portfolio and purple pipe-reuse systems across the Guadalupe River Basin. GBRA does not operate any wastewater facilities that discharge into the Dry Comal Creek, or DCC, the email states. The Purlsong development will be receiving water from Texas Water Company, or TWC. TWC announced in March that it will deny water ser- vice to nine planned developments across Comal County due to the state’s severe, prolonged drought and rapid population growth. TWC said it has developed a dedicated water supply project in the region to support this previously contracted development. TWC is also working on completing a long- range Water Availability Report, or WAR, which outlines how the company will meet future demand through groundwater, surface water and potential reuse strategies. The WAR directly supports the water supply planning for Purlsong. The development meets all regulatory require- ments of roughly 1.7 million gallons of water per day and is designed to support the community’s full build-out, the email states. As the project is built out, it will be subject to TWC’s Conserva- tion Contingency Plan, which outlines responses to drought and peak demand conditions.

it has 60 days of storage, JA Wastewater President Jamie Miller and a consultant on the project said during the hearing. There would also be generators at the facility to ensure it remains operational during a ƒood event. “There are mitigation measures put in place so that the wastewater treatment facility—the water from that is being treated—doesn’t ƒood,” Miller said. Helen Gilbert, an attorney with Barton Benson Jones, representing the applicant, said the discharge permit prohibits runo•, which is why the retention pond is “oversized.” “Runo• is a problem for the applicant because it’s a violation of the permit. A violation of the permit results in a monetary penalty, injunctive relief [and] enforcement action by [TCEQ],” Gilbert said. Part of TCEQ’s application review does not involve ƒooding. They only consider whether the facility is in the 100-year ƒoodplain to ensure adequate protection, Martinez said. If Chesmar and GBRA do not receive approval for the plant, then construction cannot start, Martinez said.

The wastewater permit application was received April 2, 2024. Treated wastewater would be stored in two storage ponds, with the capacity to hold 84.7-acre feet of treated wastewater, said Alfonso Martinez III, an environmental permit specialist with TCEQ, during the public hearing. But residents are concerned about the plant’s ability to withstand signi‚cant ƒooding, which has historically occurred in the area. Angela Allen, a New Braunfels resident and planning and zoning commissioner, said she was concerned about the ƒoodplains surrounding the wastewater facility. “If you look at the master plan that is on record, it does have a 100-year ƒoodplain going through the south part of the wastewater treatment facility,” Allen said. “If you look at the whole master plan, the development surrounds the 100-year ƒoodplain.” Hayden Folks, a consultant for the applicant, said the plant would be located outside of the Federal Emergency Management Agency ƒoodplain. In the event of a rain event, the wastewater facility will not ƒood or discharge because

What residents are saying

“Why isn’t there at least a test well at that corner that

During the Sept. 25 Comal County Commis- sioners Court meeting, Dolores Patterson, a Comal County Estates resident—which borders Purlsong—said she was opposed to the entire development. “The Texas Water [Company] may say they will provide water for this development, but they cannot adequately supply their existing custom- ers less than 2 miles away in Rockwell Ranch,” Patterson said.

Resident Leslie Campbell said putting a wastewater treatment plant “2 inches” outside a 100-year Šoodplain is too great a risk and that her well water comes up dirty after every rain event. “I understand you’re sitting there saying, ‘Well, we’re outside the 100-year Šoodplain’—do better. As an engineer, do better. As a developer, do better. Come on, y’all. You may not be living there, but other people are,” Campbell said.

Final takeaways

Two bills passed by legislators helped to pave the way for the proposed development. Senate Bill 2038, passed by state lawmakers during the 88th legislative session in 2023, allows residents of an extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ, to leave the city’s authority through a petition or election, as previously reported by Community Impact . ETJs were created by the Texas Legislature in 1963 and have allowed cities to invoke some regulatory authority over subdivisions outside of city limits to ensure those areas reŠect the city’s development standards, said Bennett Sandlin, executive director of the Texas Municipal League. During the 86th legislative session in 2019, the state legislature passed House Bill 3167, altering platting requirements for municipalities. The bill gives cities 30 calendar days to respond to plats, site plans and other development plans. These plans took 45-90 days to go through the approval process, according to previous reporting by Community Impact .

TCEQ will review all public comments and then send out a Response to Comment, or RTC, which will include instructions on how a complainant can request a contested case hearing, TCEQ Attorney Anthony Tatu said. “The commissioners of the TCEQ will take a look at all the requests for contested case hearing and make a determination on whether or not to forward this application to the state o”ce of administrative hearings for a formal hearing,” Tatu said. The city of New Braunfels also approved a contract with Freese & Nichols in September for the remapping of the DCC. The remapping would update the FEMA oodplain maps of the DCC and a portion of the Upper DCC. If the FEMA maps do get updated, the applicant will be responsible for providing that information to TCEQ, which they would then take into consideration, Martinez said.

The municipality approves a plat unless it is disapproved within the periods set by the bill. “If Commissioners Court just said ‘We’re not [going to] take action on this,’ it would’ve been approved anyway because that’s the way Local Government Code 232 is written,” Boyd said.
