Environmental Justice

Janie Cisneros is suing the City of Dallas for denying her the right to apply for a public hearing to close the GAF shingles plant next to her neighborhood, citing the City's discretionary decision to suspend her right to apply and the City's recent amendment to delete this right from residents and property owners.

West Dallas residents are still waiting for the EPA's reports highlighting the impacts of industry groups in their neighborhood.

A proposed code amendment could prevent environmental justice efforts to battle industry polluters, like amortization efforts in West Dallas.

West Dallas residents oppose GAF's renewal application at TCEQ's public meeting, hoping their concerns will be considered in the final decision.
