Project Overview:
The Bradley Business Park Water Reclamation Facility required a wastewater solution for a mixed-use development in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas. When Williamson County denied the septic permit due to platting issues and site constraints that made conventional on-site treatment infeasible, Modern Engineering Solutions pursued the TCEQ 210E authorization pathway. This approach bypassed county jurisdiction entirely, placing the project under state-level TCEQ oversight with a zero-discharge reclaimed water system. The 4-week approval timeline allowed the developer to maintain construction schedules and avoid costly project delays.
More Details:
- Authorization Number: 2E-0000369
- Design Flow: 6,700 gallons per day
- Time to Permit: 4 weeks
- Time Saved vs. Discharge Permit: ~23 months
- Waste Streams: Domestic wastewater, cooling systems, equipment cleaning, facility maintenance
Reuse Strategy:
- On-site irrigation for business park landscaping
- Fire protection system (self-contained on-site reuse)
Challenge Overcome:
Williamson County denied the septic permit due to platting issues and site constraints that made conventional on-site wastewater treatment infeasible. Traditional disposal was not viable and a discharge permit would have faced lengthy review and potential opposition. The 210E pathway provided a clean reclaimed water solution under TCEQ oversight, allowing the facility to commence operations on schedule. The self-contained on-site reuse system eliminates any off-site discharge concerns and provides complete operational control.
