On Oct. 1, Fenceline Watch gathered w/ local orgs, community members, & elected officials to raise questions and concerns about the permit renewal for the Valero refinery in Manchester.

According to TCEQ, the facility missed its initial renewal deadline and has operated without a valid permit for months in a community that has a disproportionate pollution burden, resulting in elevated cancer and respiratory issues.

On an event-filled Saturday, more than 25 service providers and local organizations connected with over 120 community members at Manchester’s first Community Health Fair.

Fenceline Watch distributed 40 more chemical disaster response toolkits to community members. The kits were created in collaboration with residents living adjacent to the petrochemical industry and include tools and information to prepare for and respond to chemical disasters & incidents.

We are grateful to all the volunteers, civic associations, community partners, organizations, performers, artists, and everyone who helped connect essential services and resources to Manchester, the Historic East End, and communities impacted by polluting industries. We look forward to continuing to host this event and others in the future.

Wellness is health.
Community is health.
Culture is health.

Fenceline Watch was back at it at the Tame Impala concert last night. Thanks to Planet Reimagined for allowing space to discuss the importance of the EPA's Risk Management Program with concertgoers.

The RMP is a regulation for facilities that handle and manufacture the most harmful chemicals in the US. It requires these plants to have safety measures & plans to prevent catastrophic damage to surrounding areas and communities

In Houston, there are more than 250 RMP facilities, including TPC Group which had a power loss last week resulting in a flaring event that sent carcinogen 1,3-butadiene and other air pollutants into nearby communities.

Folks who stopped by our booth also placed pins to represent where they live and see if they were in the impact radius of a worst-case chemical disaster scenario for 3 Houston-area three RMP facilities.

Learn more about the Risk Management Program and call for the EPA to enforce stricter regulations such as mandating backup power for these facilities at the link in our bio.



Common sense check: Should hazardous chemical facilities be required to have backup power to prevent chemical disasters?
