Jan 21, 2016 TCEQ - SIP Press Conference
Channel: Insolation Station
Date: 2016-01-22

On January 21, 2016, people who want clean air gathered to provide the TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) comments on the recently revised SIP (State Implementation Plan).  To say the comments were overwhelmingly negative is an understatement.  While the TCEQ has the obligation to come up with a plan to meet the Clean Air Act standards, they have failed to do so since 1991, and with this most recent revision have again failed to do so.  

People paying attention to this have now pressed the EPA for a FIP (Federal Implementation Plan) to actually set forth a plan to bring the air in DFW into attainment for ground-level ozone.

The public comment period for the TCEQ's woefully inadequate plan ends on January 29, 2016.
