Communities of color have been plagued by environmental racism for decades. From concrete batch plants to contaminated creosote sites, these facilities have caused irreparable harm to the residents' health and well-being. The TCEQ is responsible for approving permits for these industries, and time and again, the people speak out against these facilities and rarely is an action taken.
