TCEQ Ordered To Reissue Expired NPDES Discharge Permits

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has requested the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) take the necessary steps to reissue Clean Water Act discharge permits to sewage treatment plants and industrial facilities in Texas.

TCEQ has a significant number of draft Clean Water Act discharge permits which have not been issued pending resolution of various concerns raised by EPA. Of the 80 discharge permits of concern, a large number of these draft permits have been delayed due to issues regarding the toxicity of the discharges. In some cases, EPA has expressed concerned that expired permits continue to authorize toxic discharges. EPA has requested that TCEQ issue the overdue discharge permits within six months.

Caltha LLP provides expert environmental consultant services in Texas to obtain environmental permits, evaluate regulatory requirements, and to prepare compliance programs, including SWPPP Plans, SPCC Plans prepared to meet TCEQ requirements.
