    Reading Time:about 21 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing an amendment to a previous exclusion of certain wastes from being classified as hazardous. This proposal involves American Chrome and Chemical's facility in Corpus Christi, Texas, where they wish to dispose of chromic oxide waste in an on-site surface impoundment instead of only in a landfill. The EPA's decision is based on analyzing the waste's characteristics and determining it doesn't pose a significant risk to health or the environment. Public comments on this proposal are welcomed until March 25, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is thinking about letting a company in Texas throw away some special waste called chromic oxide in a big pit instead of a trash pile, because they believe it's not very dangerous. They want people to share their thoughts about this idea by March 25, 2021.

    PHMSA, part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, is asking for public comments on a special permit requested by the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, LLC. This request seeks an exemption from certain federal pipeline safety rules for their pipelines in Texas. If approved, NGPL would be allowed to operate these pipelines at a higher pressure than currently permitted, which would assist in delivering more natural gas to a terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas. Public comments will be reviewed before PHMSA decides whether to approve or reject the special permit.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to know what people think about letting a gas company run its pipes in Texas with more oomph than usual, so they can send more gas faster. They will check people's comments before deciding if it's a good idea or not.
