If this meeting mirrors the other meetings TCEQ has hosted concerning local quarries, it will be for show only because if the proposed quarry operator has correctly filled all required TCEQ forms and applucations, the TCEQ will approve the quarry. The only thing the TCEQ concerns itself with is air quality. It is not concerned with any other environmental impact the quarry might or will have on the surrounding area thanks to deep pockets politics controlling the Texas legislature.
You are possibly right about deep pockets controlling the legislature but that would be lobbyists putting pressure on them for things they hope to get. Imo in the case of this quarry and it’s location,it may not even be going in and the application could be to create a problem in the area and see the reaction from it then have a solution offered. The solution being incorporation. Next step turn what would have been a quarry into another neighborhood.
