A Request from CRNA...

The following is a request from Judy Taylor, President of Handley Neighborhood Association, as shared with us by LuAnn Hoppe on behalf of Carter Riverside Neighborhood Association and the Riverside Alliance:

We must be seen by the TCEQ, a State office in control of our ability to breathe. This is about the future of Fort Worth, now is the time to be seen as a united community supporting not only EFW, but the City that is fighting with us.
 

431 REASONS…

WHY WE SHOULD ATTEND THE COMMUNITY MEETING

THURSDAY, JULY 13TH FROM 6-8 PM

NOLAN CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

Each of the 431 seats in the auditorium filled with people opposing and/or seeking more information regarding the application for an Air Quality Standard Permit for a permanent concrete crusher at 5317 East 1st Street, Fort Worth, Texas is publicly showing interest/support for Fort Worth City Council’s Resolution of opposition for this permit…

WHEREAS, although concrete crushing facilities may provide the benefits of concrete recycling, the process must be undertaken in a location that minimizes the impact to citizens, neighborhoods and the environment. The granting of an air permit at this location for the construction of a permanent concrete crusher would adversely affect the City of Fort Worth and the environment as well as being incompatible with the City’s zoning regulation.

“NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS:

1. That the City of Fort Worth opposes the issuance of an air permit to East First Recycling LLC (Registration No. 146263) by the TCEQ to allow for the construction of a permanent concrete crusher facility at 5317 East 1st Street, Fort Worth, Texas.

2. That the City Council recommends to the TCEQ that the permit be denied and the City’s recommendation be given maximum consideration in TCEQ’s deliberations in considering such permit, pursuant to Section 382.112 of the Texas Health and Safety Code.

3. That the City Council requests that the TCEQ conduct a public meeting before granting this permit.

4. That the City Manager is authorized to take all necessary action to oppose the granting of an air permit to East First Recycling LLC for the construction of a permanent concrete crusher at 5317 East 1st Street, Fort Worth Texas.”
