Energy Waste Disposal

Major Progress on Texas Oil and Gas Waste Management

We are excited to announce a significant victory in our shared effort for safer energy waste disposal! Thanks to your incredible response and engagement, the Railroad Commission of Texas has officially adopted major new oil and gas waste management regulations—the first comprehensive update in over four decades.

These updated rules address groundwater and surface water protection, introduce modern waste management practices such as recycling produced water, and establish clear regulatory guidelines to better protect our environment.

Nearly 5,000 people visited our website, demonstrating overwhelming community support and involvement. Your participation has directly contributed to this landmark change, proving once again that collective action leads to meaningful progress.

Thank you for making your voices heard and helping protect our Texas environment for generations to come!
