CEMENT KILN UPDATE
8/14/2025
There has been some movement on the TCEQ/ SOAH hearing on the cement kiln application. Even though SB1758 passed and is law, TCEQ did not answer the judge's question on how it affects the permit inside the agency. She received and ruled on a motion to continue and has ordered a schedule be agreed upon. My ask to all is if you have time today, please send an email to generaldocketfax@soah.labusa.com and object to any schedule or calender being considered until all affected parties and final alignment is decided and ruled upon including a time for objections. All parties should have the right to be included in procedural matters.
Please reference SOAH Doc #582-25-17429 and TCEQ doc #TCEQ2025-0482-AIR
Thank everyone and keep up the good fight!!
David Smith, Mayor
City of Dorchester
