TNRCC sticks to plan for BFI landfill expansion
A May 25 letter from the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission says no changes will be made to the permit allowing the Tessman Road Landfill in Bexar County to grow to 929 acres and rise to 804 feet. Community leaders and residents urged limits, citing odor concerns near Martinez, where MEG has campaigned since 1999. The agency notes BFI’s compliance history does not justify an amendment.
