The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality prepared the draft permit which is now available for public comment until July 25. Uranium Energy Corp. has not yet submitted its affidavit that it has printed a public notice, TCEQ spokeswoman Andrea Morrow said.
The company published notice in Goliad’s “The Texan Express” on Wednesday and rules state the public has 30 days to comment after that notice. The notice regards the company’s application for the Class III injection well proposed permit No. UR03075.
The draft permit establishes the conditions under which the facility must operate.
The company also requested that TCEQ designate a portion of the Goliad Formation as an exempted aquifer, according to the notice. The exemption is required before the company can operate the proposed injection wells.
