CALL TO ACTION!
Protect your Right to Be Heard!
The EPA is proposing a rule that would allow the TCEQ to eliminate public notice, public comment, and Contested Case Hearing opportunities for many air pollution permits, including those for rock crushers and concrete batch plants.
These are some of the few tools communities have to influence decisions that affect the air they breathe. The deadlines to act are approaching quickly, and strong public participation is essential to protect these rights and ensure community voices are heard before they are taken away.
Key dates and details:
Attend Virtual Prep Session for public testimony on
Monday, July 20

Air Alliance Houston is hosing a virtual prep session for public testimony on Monday, July 20 from 6:30-7:30pm.
During the meeting, AAH staff will explain the rule, its potential impacts, help you draft testimony, and get you ready for the virtual meeting on Wednesday.
