BRIEF SUMMARY

• On September 4, 2024, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approved an air quality permit for North Texas Natural Select Materials (NTNSM) to operate a Permanent Concrete Crusher.

• Four Motions to Overturn (MTOs) were filed with the TCEQ, challenging the permit approval.

• On November 21, 2024, TCEQ overturned the air permit approval due to irregularities in the application, particularly concerning the lack of proper public notice for a last-minute change to the plot plan.

• NTNSM has reapplied for a permanent concrete crusher permit; a public meeting is pending.

If this is your first time hearing about this issue, please read the Background Information.
