Next Thursday, The TCEQ will hold a public meeting on Eco Services Operations Corp.'s Air Quality Permit renewal, which would authorize continued operation of their sulfuric acid manufacturing plant.

This facility is located nearby a school and surrounded by community. Making this more than just a permit, it is an issue that directly impacts the people who live, work, and go to school nearby.

📢 Our ask, alongside community, is to urge TCEQ to deny this permit renewal. Continuing to allow these operations could mean continued exposure to pollution and continued environmental and health concerns for surrounding residents. It is important for community members to show up, make their voices heard, and share their concerns about the impacts this facility has on your community. 📢

Your testimony matters. Your presence matters. Your voice matters.
