Notices

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 links we should consider adding to this page.

Currently Open for Comments...

  • Flint Hills Resources Ingleside Oil Export Terminal Air Pollution Permit #6606: Request a public meeting by 5pm on April 30, 2022 at www14.tceq.texas.gov/epic/eComment/. It's Permit 6606, the one without a Docket Number. Be sure to say how close you live to Flint Hills Ingleside Marine Terminal (it's on the other side of Enbridge) and if you've experienced suspected health impacts. 
  • TCEQ's 2022 Annual Air Monitoring Plan: Deadline for comments is 5/24/22 at 5pm. There is a new proposed site in Gregory-Portand (San Patricio County) for PM2.5 and VOC monitoring, but other pollutants should be monitored as well, including PM10, NO2, SO2, Ozone, and Methane. It would also be good for IOB or Ingleside to have a site.
  • ​Deadline at end of Public Meeting TBD (Requested by Sen. Zaffirini and Rep. Lozano): Public comments being accepted for MODA Air Pollution Permit Number 122362 (see Moda Expansion page for more details)​
