It Ain’t Easy Being Green

Facts. Especially if you live in our state. Though the House is still working on its proposal, the Texas Senate recently passed a state ban on THC, which would put an end to the sale of gummies, vapes, possibly seltzers, and all manner of THC-infused stuff.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND INTENT TO OBTAIN AIR PERMIT (NORI) RENEWAL PERMIT NUMBER 6587A

APPLICATION. Rack Technology, Inc. has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for renewal of Air Quality Permit Number 6587A, which would authorize continued operation of a metal rack cleaning and coating facility located at 1001 Enterprise Place, Arlington, Tarrant County, Texas 76001. AVISO DE IDIOMA ALTERNATIVO. El aviso de idioma alternativo en espanol está disponible en https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/air/newsourcereview/airpermits-pendingpermit-apps. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice. For exact location, refer to application. https://gisweb.tceq.texas.gov/LocationMapper/?marker=-97.1263,32.6247&level=13. The existing facility is authorized to emit the following air contaminants: carbon monoxide, hazardous air pollutants, nitrogen oxides, organic compounds, particulate matter including particulate matter with diameters of 10 microns or less and 2.5 microns or less and sulfur dioxide.

This application was submitted to the TCEQ on March 18, 2025. The application will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, TCEQ Dallas/Fort Worth regional office, and the City of Arlington City Hall, 101 West Abram Street, Arlington, Tarrant County, Texas beginning the first day of publication of this notice. The facility’s compliance file, if any exists, is available for public review in the Dallas/Fort Worth regional office of the TCEQ. The application, including any updates, is available electronically at the following webpage: https://www. tceq.texas.gov/permitting/air/airpermit-applications-notices

The executive director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. Information in the application indicates that this permit renewal would not result in an increase in allowable emissions and would not result in the emission of an air contaminant not previously emitted. The TCEQ may act on this application without seeking further public comment or providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met.

PUBLIC COMMENT You may submit public comments to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. The TCEQ will consider all public comments in developing a final decision on the application and the executive director will prepare a response to those comments. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the TCEQ’s jurisdiction to address in the permit process.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING You may request a contested case hearing if you are a person who may be affected by emissions of air contaminants from the facility. If requesting a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime phone number; (2) applicant’s name and permit number; (3) the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing;” (4) a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the application and air emissions from the facility in a way not common to the general public; (5) the location and distance of your property relative to the facility; (6) a description of how you use the property which may be impacted by the facility; and (7) a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period. If the request is made by a group or association, one or more members who have standing to request a hearing must be identified by name and physical address. The interests the group or association seeks to protect must also be identified. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the application/permit which would satisfy your concerns.

The deadline to submit a request for a contested case hearing is 15 days after newspaper notice is published. If a request is timely filed, the deadline for requesting a contested case hearing will be extended to 30 days after mailing of the response to comments.

If any requests for a contested case hearing are timely filed, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for a contested case hearing to the Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. Unless the application is directly referred to a contested case hearing, the executive director will mail the response to comments along with notification of Commission meeting to everyone who submitted comments or is on the mailing list for this application. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material air quality concerns submitted during the comment period. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the Commission’s jurisdiction to address in this proceeding.

MAILING LIST. In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask to be placed on a mailing list for this application by sending a request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. Those on the mailing list will receive copies of future public notices (if any) mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk for this application.

Top places to dine next Sunday.

BY ELAINE WILDER

Start your holiday morning with an elevated four-course Easter brunch at 97 West Kitchen & Bar at Hotel Drover (200 Mule Alley, Fort Worth, 682-255-6497) 8am-2pm Sun, Apr 20. The curated menu features fried chicken and biscuits, smoked salmon tea sandwiches, beignets, and family-style desserts, all complemented by handcrafted Easter cocktails, including the Buckin’ Bunny (Blackland gin, Luxardo cherry liqueur, liqueur de violette, lemon juice, simple syrup, with a Peep on top). A special Lil’ Ropers menu ensures even the youngest guests enjoy a delicious holiday meal — $65 per person and $25 for children ages 12 and under.

Easter brunch is an annual event at Blue Mesa (612 Carroll St, Fort Worth, 817-332-6372). The spread includes a wide range of options such as beef tenderloin chimichurri, ginger-chipotle-glazed ham, red chile salmon, a build-your-own street taco bar, and breakfast classics like madeto-order omelets, huevos rancheros, Belgian waffles with fried chicken, and biscuits with gravy. Blue Mesa’s usual signature dishes will be available as well. Cap off the meal with a dessert bar of mini flans, sopapilla cheesecake, warm churros, fruit cobblers,

chocolate chunk cookies, and more. The $45 price includes mimosas, while kids ages 6-11 can enjoy brunch for $15 and children 5 and younger eat for free. Blue Mesa is offering Easter brunch all next weekend with the extended hours of 10am-3pm Sat, Apr 19, and 8am-4pm Sun, Apr 20. For reservations, call the restaurant or book through the Open Table app.

Café Modern at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (3200 Darnell St, Fort Worth, 817-840-2157) is hosting Easter brunch 10am Sun, Apr 20. This elevated buffet is curated by Wolfgang Puck Executive Chef Jett Mora and his culinary team. Seating times are available from 10am to 12:15pm via OpenTable.com. The cost is $67 per person.

Bring your pups with you to MUTTS

Canine Cantina (5317 Clearfork Main St, Fort Worth, 817-377-0151) 11am-3pm Sun, Apr 29, for Easter Hair of the Dog Brunch. Bloody Marys, draft beers, frozen cocktails, and mimosas are $5, plus there are unique breakfast food combos available. Woof!

You could also spend Easter Sunday at Southfork Ranch (3700 Hogge Dr, Parker, 972-442-7800). Brunch offerings include sautéed chicken and grilled salmon, three carving stations, an array of side dishes, and an enticing selection of sweets for dessert. After brunch, relax at the ranch with live music or take the kids on an Easter egg hunt and hop away with a 4-by-6-inch souvenir photo with the Easter Bunny. Tickets for the Easter brunch are $90 for adults and $50 for children ages 6 to 12, plus tax. Admission is free for kids 5 and younger. To purchase tickets, visit 2025EasterDayParty.eventbrite.com.

Along with its standard menu, Silver Fox (1651 S University Dr, Fort Worth, TX 817-332-9060) will offer an Easter specialty item — the Roasted Tenderloin Benedict for $67 — from 11am to 4pm Sun, Apr 20. The steak features a poached egg with hollandaise, asparagus, and fingerling potatoes. Drink specials include a Bloody Mary with Tito’s Handmade Vodka for $18 and a mimosa for $12. For more information, visit SilverFoxCafe.com. Make reservations and

place preorders by calling the restaurant. Get ready for a wicked good meal on Easter Sunday with breakfast, brunch, or dinner at Wicked Butcher (512 Main St, Fort Worth, 817-601-4621). Seatings are every 15 minutes: 6:30am-10:30am for breakfast, 11:45am-2:30pm for brunch, and 5pm-9:45pm for dinner. I’ve got my eye on the steak and eggs ($38): a 6-oz filet, fried eggs, breakfast potatoes, and blackberry gastrique. Tableside truffle butter for an extra $10? Yes, please! For the complete list of Easter items available, go to WickedButcher. com/menu and select “Easter Brunch.”

If you’re looking for a family meal at home for Easter, consider ordering a ham from Peace Lutheran Church (941 Bedford Euless Rd, Hurst, 817-284-1677).
