The Harris County Flood Control District is on track to complete its disaster recovery projects, HCFCD Executive Director Marcus Stuckett said.

At a glance: The county’s 11 disaster recovery projects, funded through federal grants, are no longer in jeopardy of missing a spending deadline after the Texas General Land Office extended the timeline by a year.

Zooming in: Key details regarding the funding and deadlines include:

• The GLO disbursed $322 million to Harris County following Hurricane Harvey, and the county allocated $546 million to the HCFCD.

• The HCFCD has $113 million in unallocated funding for disaster recovery projects, which Stuckett said will not jeopardize project completion.

• Disaster recovery projects now have a deadline of February 2028.

If a deadline is missed, GLO Commissioner Dawn Buckingham warned the state would reallocate the unused balance to other "shovel-ready projects."

Texas environmental regulators have continued processing certain data center permits in the month since Gov. Greg Abbott ordered a permitting pause, according to a new report from FracTracker, an oil and gas watchdog group.

The details: Abbott directed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality last month to "halt all permits sought by data centers" while the Electric Reliability Council of Texas audits proposed projects.

Yet as of Oct. 16, the TCEQ had moved at least 35 data center-related applications forward, per an analysis of TCEQ records.

Zooming in: The agency has issued public notices for three data center projects since Abbott ordered the pause Sept. 21. It also approved stormwater coverage, certified air emissions limits or assigned engineers to other projects.

"No permits have been approved," Andrew Mahaleris, the governor's press secretary, said Oct. 20. "In line with the governor’s directive, TCEQ has not taken and will not take any proactive actions related to the approval of data center permits."

"These actions do not signal an agency trying to pause," FracTracker said in the report.
