Local group claims that demolition of Asarco plant began too soon.
A local environmental watchdog group is crying foul after they say a demolition began before it was supposed to. The group “citizens for environmental justice” says the demolition of the former asarco/encycle plant is bad for nearby residents and for all of Corpus Christi, and they’re demanding the demolition stop.
It’s not just that local watchdog group that’s upset about the demolition, the texas commission on environemntal quality or tceq is also directing the bankruptcy trustee in charge of the site to stop the demolition, until they approve the requisite plans.
