Saw this in the Glen Rose Reporter (the newspaper of record in Glen Rose) on December 28. "Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Air Quality Standard Permit Registration. # 80488L.001." What TXU is asking Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to do is give the okay to build a *temporary* concrete batch plant, which is going to spew contaminants into the air; particulate matter including but not limited to aggregate, cement, road dust, and particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter. Public comments can be submitted for up to 15 days after the notice that appeared in this paper.
IF there's enough public interest, the executive director will hold a hearing OR a hearing can be held if a local legislator requests it.
People can also ask for a CONTESTED case hearing IF they live within 440 yards of the proposed plant. (the plant would be at 6322 North FM 56, Glen Rose, TX)-presumably this is to be near the second nuclear power plant they're wanting to build.
You can mail comments, requests for a public meeting, etc to Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087,m Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or call 1-800-687-4040
Here's what I want to know, The application says it's a TEMPORARY plant. What happens to it after it's done? Will it be torn down? Buried? Used for something else? Sold to another company so that we can become another Midlothian and continue to burn toxics into the air?
