Standard Permit for Concrete Batch Plants

The Air Quality Standard Permit for Concrete Batch Plants is authorized under the
Texas Health and Safety Code Section 382.05195 .

Quick Screen

To determine whether your facility qualifies for this Standard Permit, first consider these screening questions:

• If a batch plant, does your facility manufacture no more than 650,000 cubic yards of concrete in any rolling 12-month period?
• If a batch plant, does your facility manufacture no more than 300 cubic yards of concrete per hour?
• If a specialty plant, does your facility manufacture no more than 262,800 cubic yards of concrete in any rolling 12-month period, and no more than 60 cubic yards of concrete per hour?
• The batch plant uses a total enclosure at the central mix drum feed exhaust, or a suction shroud at the truck drop point.
• The total enclosure or suction shroud is vented to a central fabric filter baghouse with a flow rate of at least 5,000 actual cubic feet per minute (acfm).
• The batch plant meets the standard permit’s production limitations, setback distances, and other requirements depending on the facility type and location.

If your facility meets the conditions of these screening questions, review the standard permit and its criteria for your situation. If your facility meets the applicable requirements and conditions, you may register this standard permit.

If your Concrete Batch Plant cannot meet the conditions of this standard permit, or the other Standard Permit for Concrete Batch Plants, see Types of New Source Review Authorizations for other options.
