§ 51.011. HEARING REQUIRED BEFORE PARTICIPATION IN

and place of the hearing at least once a week for three successive
weeks before the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation
published in the county seat of each county in which the project is
located.

substantial adverse effect on the environment, wildlife, or
fisheries.
