Contested case seeks binding rules for non-hazardous landfills
The motion argues Texas Government Code requires arbiters to apply applicable agency rules in decisions and for TNRCC to supply SOAH with a definitive, non binding set of rules rather than guidelines. Opponents urge dismissal and remand to obtain proper design siting and operation rules for non-hazardous industrial waste landfills. Affected residents include Constance Monk and others, with notices sent to TSP and agency staff.
