ACTION NEEDED: Comment on TCEQ Air Quality Permit by MAY 7TH!

Many of you have seen the signs posted by the TCEQ and NRG regarding the Air Quality Permits applications on FM66, Crow Road, and Weakly Branch. The window on public comment is very short and ends May 7th. NRG evidently violated the rules by not posting the comment period. Please send your comments and ask for a public hearing ASAP. Be sure to submit comments on each one separately.

You can go online and submit comments at the TCEQ COMMENTS PAGE. Use the following templated language.
