Lights Out Texas organizers ask that residents, building managers and businesses turn off their outdoor lights from 11 p.m. till 6 a.m. from Aug. 15 to Nov. 30 to prevent bird deaths. Outdoor lighting distracts and confuses migrating birds who typically fly at night.
Peak fall migration season is Sept. 5 to Oct. 29.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is accepting public comments on the proposed rulemaking (Rule Project Number 2024-027-113-AI).
The proposed rulemaking (Rule Project Number 2024-027-113-AI) will address applicability, emission standards, monitoring, recordkeeping, testing, and reporting requirements for designated oil and gas facilities. The rules would set emission standards and/or control requirements for emissions of greenhouse gases (primarily methane) from existing facilities in this industry.
All comments should reference proposed rule project number 2024-027-113-AI. All written stakeholder comments must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
