Relating to a prohibition on the crushing of contaminated concrete by certain concrete crushing facilities.
SB 1783 prohibits Texas concrete crushing facilities from processing concrete contaminated with specific chemicals that pose health risks when crushed. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality must establish a list of these chemicals based on their potential to cause adverse health effects, considering contamination risks before adding any chemical to the list. Existing facilities must comply with these new rules by September 1, 2025 - effectively requiring them to stop crushing contaminated concrete even if their permits were issued before the rules took effect. The commission must adopt implementing rules by March 1, 2026, to enforce this requirement.
