McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The Federal Aviation Administration has postponed a series of public hearings that were to begin Tuesday on SpaceX’s request to expand its launches in South Texas — the same day that a report became public from a state agency that cites SpaceX is improperly discharging industrial wastewater into Texas waterways.

The four FAA public hearings were to start Tuesday afternoon at two South Texas locations and have been indefinitely delayed, according to the FAA.

Isn't is interesting that a day after Musk interviews Pres. Trump on X that this happens.

But it is ok to bring toxic water from the East Palestine, OH train fire to Texas.

Musk is no longer a loyal party member in good standing, therefore, he and his companies must be destroyed.

They’ll postpone until after SpaceX is used to rescue the stranded astronauts Boeing doesn’t seem to be able to retrieve.

With Boeing essentially unable to support manned space flight, now is not the time to screw with Space X.

This administration would be quite happy to cut off their noses to spite their collective faces.

The local environmental groups want to shut the Boca site down in the worst way, as fast as they can, legally or illegally.

Any rescue attempt will be launched from SpaceX’s site at the Cape.

The article discusses two different issues.

First, regarding a Texas permit that’s apparently pending.

“TCEQ, in its report, acknowledges that SpaceX has applied for an Industrial Wastewater Individual Permit for Starbase, however, during a July 25 investigation by TCEQ, “it was documented that the Respondent failed to obtain authorization”.

Second, the usual cast of Luddites who claim they don’t like the format of the FAA public forums.
