NSGA Granted a Contested Case Hearing by the TCEQ!
December 23rd, 2022
NSGA and 9 individuals, with combined 10 issues, were granted a Contested Case Hearing by the TCEQ Commissioners on December 14, 2022. We are now waiting to receive the date for the preliminary hearing.

We again send our profound THANKS to everyone for fighting Exfluor's proposed perfluorocarbon manufacturing plant.
Remember what we are fighting for. The land around 1100 County Road 236 could become a chemical industrial sacrifice zone.
NSGA and the community have succeeded in delaying Exfluor's construction since April 12, 2022. It is probable that the upcoming case hearings will delay Exfluor's construction until December 2023.
While we wish Exfluor would take the hint, withdraw their permit application and move to an appropriate industrial location, it appears from their TCEQ filings that that they will not.
Now we see the true intent of Exfluor. Far from being a good neighbor, their intent is to win at all costs, smash this perfluorocarbon manufacturing plant into our pristine, environmentally fragile, rural, residential neighborhood, even if it means stooping to such trivial levels as challenging the land ownership of our residents, relying on extremely narrow aspects of the air quality permit, pretending that the potential pollution will not travel more than 1/8 mile, while completely disregarding the extreme hazards to the environment, people, animals, crops and livelihood of our community, and the greater downstream watershed of the North Fork of the San Gabriel River.
We are grateful for the broad support from the North San Gabriel Community! We received more than 290 entries on the TCEQ site, opposing the proposed Exfluor specialty chemical manufacturing facility on County Road 236. Our petition received more than 3,300 signatures. We received front page coverage from 3 newspapers, and multiple TV spots. Click here for a brief summary of this effort.
We are succeeding. NSGA asks for your financial support. Lawyers, environmental consultants, website updates and maintenance are expensive. As a Texas non-profit 501(c)(4) organization, all donations are used to support the Purpose of NSGA. We are 100% volunteer managed with no compensation.
