TCEQ issues renewal for Concrete Pros Readymix air registration; denies requests for hearing
Summary
TCEQ voted to renew air quality registration No. 131789 for a Harris County concrete batch plant, concluding the renewal would not increase allowable emissions and that the applicants’ compliance history did not create a right to a contested‑case hearing under state law.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on July 1 approved renewal of air‑quality registration No. 131789 to Concrete Pros Readymix Inc. for a permanent concrete batch plant in Harris County and denied hearing requests related to the application.
Staff explained that renewal applications that do not increase allowable emissions or introduce a previously unpermitted air contaminant do not trigger a statutory right to a contested‑case hearing; the commission cited Texas Health and Safety Code section 382.056 in applying that standard. Staff also reported that the site’s compliance history was unclassified and that the company’s corporate history was satisfactory.
Given those findings, the commission adopted the executive director’s recommendation to find no right to a hearing, deny the hearing requests and issue the renewal permit, and the commission adopted the executive director’s response to comments.
Next steps: The renewal will be issued consistent with the adopted order in the record; the commission recorded the motion, a second and an affirmative vote.
