HEARING ON HEMPSTEAD LANDFILL SET FOR NOVEMBER

  

After several postponements, the Contested Case Hearing on a proposed Pintail Landfill permit in Waller County has been set for November 2, in Austin.

For over four years now, the landfill has been brought to a standstill and the Applicant still does not have a permit, or own the property.

Assuming no further delays, the case will be heard by two Administrative Law Judges with the State Office of Administrative Hearings.  The trial is expected to take about two weeks.  This proceeding to determine the facts is the last step before the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Commissioners make their final decision on the Pintail Landfill permit application.

The proposed landfill permit was not stopped by last December’s trial in Waller County.

Along with Waller County, the City of Hempstead and several other Parties, Citizens Against the Landfill in Hempstead is preparing for the CCH.

CALH is preparing to host ‘We Stand United 3’ on Saturday, July 25, at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Hempstead. Donations, table sponsorships and tickets sales information may be found by visiting the website and Facebook page to learn more about the organization and its activities.
