House Bill 480 amends the Natural Resources Code to require a person who files an application for a permit for a commercial surface disposal facility to publish notice of the application in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the proposed disposal would occur. The act sets forth the information that must be included in the notice and authorizes the Railroad Commission of Texas to conduct a public meeting to receive public comment if the commission determines that such a meeting is in the public interest.
