The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will grow some new teeth thanks to Sunset Advisory Committee recommendations adopted in House Bill 1505.
Texas Sunset Advisory Commission Review Director Robert Romig testifies during a Texas House Committee on Environmental Regulation hearing over Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Sunset Review Bill HB 1505, March 23's Boring Co. to dump 142,500 gallons of wastewater per day into the Colorado River, the"reluctant regulator" that will grant or deny that permit was under scrutiny at the Legislature.
Transparency has long been an issue in permitting, and advocates flag the importance of keeping an in-person meeting along with the online option:"There's a lot of value for a permit applicant to meet face-to-face the people they are going to be working next to in the future," saidA theme throughout testimony was TCEQ's inability to use discretion in permitting.
