Landfill rules questioned in Texas permit hearings
TNRCC hearings on a Chambers County landfill were postponed after State Administrative Law Judges Cassandra Church and Shannon Kilgore ordered certified questions to the agency. The motion to dismiss argues TNRCC has no formal rules for siting design construction or operation of non hazardous solid waste landfills. The ALJs will also set new briefs and timelines, with a public meeting to address the questions.

Friday turns cloudy with mid fifties, and Saturday may bring rain or storms as the cold mass shifts east. Local experts note wind chill adjustments may exaggerate cooler readings and advise practical cold weather prep for pipes and homes.
