CHRONOLOGY
Key dates & context
- Source record
TCEQ application links City ownership and Pilgrim’s operation of Southwest WWTP
The application identifies the City as owner of the facility and land and as co-applicant with Pilgrim’s Pride. Attachment A contains their 1988 Operating and Permitting Agreement, including Pilgrim’s operating obligations, City approval of capital improvements over $100,000, debt-service reimbursement, other customer connections, and a permit-transfer provision.
Context, limits & source references
The cited application and agreement establish their stated terms. They do not establish whether the agreement was later amended, what payments are current, or the outcome of a particular records request. The Southwest plant is distinct from the Southside plant.

October 27: TCEQ matches need a fax distinction
Two City Fax records target TCEQ Occupational Licensing’s fax number on the EPA–TCEQ–City routing date. A later incoming record to the Civic Center displays a TCEQ watermaster contact number.
Context, limits & source references
These are not established environmental-enforcement conversations. The fax destination and the Civic Center endpoint support other possible purposes; historical number assignment and call contents remain unverified.

EPA → TCEQ → City / MPPD routing
EPA routes the complaint to TCEQ. Hodo emails James on October 27; James forwards the quoted chain that evening to Bryan Denney and Code Enforcement, copying Buhman. On October 28 James separately asks Hodo to send the video to the Chief because she cannot forward it.
Context, limits & source references
The correspondence establishes the forwarding route and the request to send a video. It does not independently establish a later direct Hodo-to-Chief delivery, that the Chief viewed the video, or an investigation outcome.

Later-obtained City-to-TCEQ email identified
Kyle notified City counsel of a November 14, 2025 City-to-TCEQ email he said he received through a September 16 TCEQ production, and proposed it as an additional exhibit in Cause 44437.
Context, limits & source references
The transmittal identifies a comparison source; it does not by itself prove omission from a particular City production.
