IN RE: | HB2130 by Phillips (Relating to the notification requirement concerning a permit application for applying Class B sludge on a land application unit.), As Introduced |
The bill would increase from one-quarter mile to one-half mile the notification requirement for a sludge permit. An applicant for a sludge permit, amendment, or renewal would be required to notify, by certified or registered mail, each landowner located within one-half mile of a proposed land application unit, as opposed to one-quarter mile under current law.
Passage of the bill is not expected to result in any significant costs to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
