Submit comments to TCEQ – Protect Air Quality and Keep Public Input! (p2a.co).
Here are TCEQ Talking Points 2021-01-20 – Texas Campaign for the Environment Fund (texasenvironment.org)
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is accepting comments regarding a new non-rule air quality standard permit for marine loading operations.
The new standard permit would offer applicants more flexibility when seeking authorization of MLO facilities.
The new standard permit
· may be used to authorize stationary facilities, or groups of facilities, at a site that conducts MLO activities at both new and existing sites;
· would include operating specifications and emission limitations for typical equipment (facilities) during routine operation and planned maintenance, startup, and shutdown (MSS); and
· is authorized by the Texas Clean Air Act, Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 382, and is based on a comprehensive evaluation of air quality emissions and potential impacts.
The proposed non-rule air quality standard permit is subject to a 30-day comment period. After the public comment period, TCEQ may revise the draft standard permit if appropriate. The final standard permit will then be considered by the commission for adoption. Upon adoption of the standard permit by the commission, the final standard permit and a response to all comments received will be made available on TCEQ’s website.
comments may be made online; by mail to Gwen Ricco, MC 205, Office of Legal Services, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087; or emailed to fax4808@tceq.texas.gov. All comments should reference Non-Rule Project Number 2020-030-OTH-NR.
The comment period closes at midnight on Jan. 22, 2021.
