Darling Ingredients Inc. withdrew an application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to modify its air permit at its facility in Bastrop County, according to a company representative.
The facility at 264 FM 2336 in Bastrop collects and recycles food industry waste to produce animal feed ingredients, biofuels and other byproducts, according to Darling Ingredients.
The details
The amended air permit would have allowed Darling Ingredients to increase emissions.
“Darling Ingredients works collaboratively with TCEQ and other regulators to ensure full compliance,” Jillian Fleming, the director of global communications for Darling Ingredients, told Community Impact in an email. “We recently withdrew a permit change request after our engineering team identified a way to improve the process that fits within the current permit. This decision follows TCEQ protocols.”
