Relating to planning and financial responsibility requirements for certain aggregate production operations; providing for the imposition of an administrative penalty.

HB 1163 requires operators of aggregate production facilities within 1,500 feet of the San Jacinto River or its tributaries to submit detailed restoration plans for nearby water bodies affected by unauthorized discharges. The bill mandates that these plans identify at-risk water bodies, document existing conditions, outline restoration goals, and include third-party cost estimates for cleanup. Operators must update these plans with each registration renewal, and the bill authorizes administrative fines for noncompliance. This legislation directly affects aggregate production operations near the San Jacinto River watershed, focusing on preventing pollution and ensuring financial responsibility for environmental restoration.
