​Current Calls to Action!

A lot of activity is happening around us, and it's hard for any one person to keep up with all of it. We are asking the community to check the links below from time to time to help monitor events that may impact us. Email any links we should consider adding to this page. 


1.   Join an IOBCWA Community Action Team! 
We are excited to announce that we will be expanding our outreach to neighboring cities to raise awareness and provide education regarding potential impacts to coastline resources, water and air quality due to increased ship traffic and rapid industrialization happening and planned for San Patricio County. Our goal is to increase community awareness and create additional community response and action from surrounding communities to the state and federal regulators reviewing and approving the increased applications from industrialization in San Patricio County. We realize we can not do this alone and need additional awareness and activism.
Please email [email protected] today to get involved!

​
Say NO and PUSH back on polluter Enbridge and stop the expansion! 
Enbridge is seeking to renew a Federal Operating Permit #3906. Ask the EPA to object this permit and TCEQ's rubber stamping of excessive emissions and lack of enforcement.  
  • Enbridge is one company! TCEQ violated their duty by dividing Enbridge into two sites allow them to emit twice as much HAZARDOUS POLLUTANTS. 
​Available documents for this Enbridge Permit request: 
  • ​​​Copy of TCEQ Notice of Permit Application
  • Copy of draft Enbridge Federal Operating Permit
  • Copy of Enbridge's Statement of Basis
  • Copy of the Enbridge Application
​Enbridge TCEQ Water Rights Permit #13775. Currently waiting for notice of public hearing date from TCEQ.
  • Enbridge water rights application 13775 for 500 acre feet or 446,371 gallons of water a day from Corpus Christi Bay states use is for fire pump testing but we believe it's actually a water grab for Blue Hydrogen/Ammonia. 
 3. Comments are now closed. Thank you to everyone who commented! Railroad Commission will report final Rules on 8/22/23
Say NO to Railroad Commission (RRC) to regulate Carbon Dioxide storage underground!
  • RRC has an inherent conflict of interest because they receive campaign donations by the industries they regulate.
  • The number of uncapped wells in Texas is growing everyday. RRC cannot keep up with the current job they have. 
  • Carbon Dioxide escaping a well poses serious danger to human health and the environment. 
  • RRC has a HORRIBLE TRACK RECORD of enforcing regulations and will fail to protect residents who reside next to potential carbon dioxide storage. ​
Available documents for RRC Chapter 5 rules for Carbon Dioxide storage underground:   
  • Copy of original RRC Chapter 5 rules for CO2 9/19/22
  • Proposed rulemaking amendment to RRC Chapter 5 for CO2
  • Notice of Public Comment Hearing from RRC on proposed amendments ​
