TCEQ Air Permitting and Enforcement: Improving Texas’ Air Quality Through the Sunset Review Process
Air Alliance Houston believes that our state is currently on the precipice of what could prove to be the most significant period of environmental change and improvement in Texas’ history. From the concern over gas drilling emissions, the coming scarcity of water, implications of global climate change and the ceaseless fight to reduce air pollution across all of our metropolitan areas, Texas has a multitude of issues with which to reckon. We also at this time have been given an amazing confluence of opportunities which, if appreciated and used to their fullest potential, could ensure that our state and its environmental agency have all the tools necessary to overcome these challenges. The Sunset Commission review of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality provides a huge opportunity to take an honest look at our state environmental regulatory agency and improve its rules, policies, programs and governing statutes so that it may better meet these challenges.
