Re: TXI Property at 3005 State Hwy 121, City ofCoppell, Denton County, Texas
Dear Mr. Welton:
The City of Coppell has received complaints regarding debris and silt entering the City's
storm drain system. Recent onsite inspections show the silt is eroding from stockpiles located
at the TXI concrete batch plant located at 3005 State Hwy 121, Coppell, Texas. The silt is
traveling south into drop inlets located just north of the State Hwy 121 westbound frontage
road. I also notified TxDOT of this issue and requested they install new silt fence to protect
these inlets located in the state's right-of-way.
We would like to make you aware of the adopted ordinances related to all properties (lands)
within the City of Coppell:
1. Erosion and Sedimentation Control Code - Ordinance No. 91514 was designed to
minimize erosion and sedimentation from private property onto public rights-of-way,
making it unlawful to permit a public erosion nuisance and providing for a penalty of fine
not to exceed the sum of $500 per day during which a violation occurs.
We respectfully request that you immediately resolve this public nuisance by protecting your
stockpiles in whatever way feasible to prevent further erosion of your assets. You will also be
aiding your downhill neighbors in keeping their drainage ways clean and free from silt.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at your convenience at 972-304-7019.
S incerel y,
