Railroad Commission of Texas is accepting public comments through Sept. 30 on its proposal to revise the agency’s rules regulating waste management facilities in the state. “This is the first overhaul of the RRC’s waste management rules in four decades,” the commission said. “The proposed rules factor safety and groundwater protection as well as technological advancements in the energy industry’s resource development in Texas.”
The commission held an in-person hearing Thursday in Austin, and a virtual hearing is scheduled Friday.
