HB 2883 introduces new corrective action requirements for concrete crushing facilities and concrete plants that experience excessive emissions events. Before filing a corrective action plan with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), these facilities must first submit the plan to local government officials and allow them to provide comments. The TCEQ is required to adopt rules governing the comment process, including the length of the comment period, which local officials must be notified, and how comments should be submitted. If a facility fails to comply with these new requirements, the TCEQ must reject its corrective action plan. The bill requires the TCEQ to adopt the necessary rules by December 1, 2025, and applies to plans filed on or after January 1, 2026.
