EPA Rejects Objection to Texas Terminal Air Permit

## Summary

The EPA said no to Harris County’s request to block a pollution permit for Intercontinental Terminals Company’s Deer Park facility in Texas. This means the company can keep operating under the current permit, but the county can still take the issue to court by August 21, 2026. This decision affects local air quality rules and keeps things moving without new costs or changes for now.
