The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has opened a comment period on a proposed amendment to the air quality standard permit for concrete batch plants. The proposed amendment will update the standard permit to add the exemption from emissions and distance limitations in 30 TAC § 116.610(a)(1). This exemption was inadvertently removed during a 2012 amendment.
The proposed amendment to the air quality standard permit is subject to a 30-day comment period. The comment period closes at midnight on June 29, 2021.
Written comments may be submitted electronically via the agency’s public comments webpage, or via mail to Gwen Ricco, MC 205, Office of Legal Services, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. All comments should reference Non-Rule Project No. 2021-016-OTH-NR.
The commission will hold a public meeting on this proposal via telephone conference on June 28, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. Open discussion will not be permitted during the meeting; however, TCEQ staff members will be available to discuss the proposal 30 minutes prior to the meeting.
Beginning at 6:30 p.m. on June 28, members of the public may listen in by calling 1-877-820-7831 (International: 1-720-279-0026) and entering access code 181446#. More information is available on the TCEQ website.
