Description
Appellants, the Citizens Against Landfill Location, North Alamo Water Supply Corp., Jimmie Steidinger, Engelman Irrigation District, and Donna Irrigation District (collectively the Citizens), appeal from a district court judgment affirming a final order of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission granting BFI Waste Systems (BFI) a permit to vertically expand its municipal solid-waste landfill in Hidalgo county. In issues one, two, three and six, the Citizens assert that substantial evidence does not support the Commissions approval of the final-cover design, post-closure bond, and closure and post-closure cost estimates; approval of the drainage plan; modification of the application to require the installation of two additional monitoring wells; and findings and conclusions that BFI had met all legal requirements with respect to its application. In issues four and five, the Citizens argue that the Commission erred by refusing to enforce the higher standard set forth in BFIs drainage permit, which authorized it to discharge water into the Donna Irrigation Districts system, and by concluding that BFI is authorized to capture and impound water for irrigation and dust suppression purposes. Because we hold that the record contains substantial evidence supporting the Commissions order and that the Commissions actions were not in error, we affirm the district courts judgment affirming the order.
