LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) - District 57 State Rep. Trent Ashby, R-Lufkin, has filed a bill that would require the Texas Railroad Commission to look at the history of flooding in the past 10 years when it considers granting a permit to build a pit for the disposal of commercial oil and gas.
“House Bill 2201 really deals with the issue of flood consideration by the Texas Railroad Commission,” Ashby said during an interview with East Texas Now host Kayla Lyons. “Currently, the railroad Commission does take into consideration the 100-year flood plain when determining whether a commercial oil and gas facility can safely operate in a specific location.”
