Texas Commission on Environmental Quality |
| Profile |
| The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is the environmental agency for the state. Its responsibilities include permitting, licensing, compliance, enforcement, pollution prevention programs and education related to air and water quality, as well as waste disposal. The TCEQ was formerly known as the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission, but the Legislature changed its name in 2002 to keep consistent with what other states call their environmental agencies. The TCEQ has about 3,000 employees, 16 regional offices and a $442 million annual budget. Natural resource programs were established in Texas at the turn of the 20th century, motivated initially by concerns over the management of water resources and water rights. State natural resource efforts broadened at mid-century to include the protection of air and water resources, and later to the regulation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation. How to access TCEQ records: If you want to view or obtain copies of agency records, there are a number of options available. You may: visit the agency offices in person; call (512) 239-2900; e-mail your request to: openrecs@tceq.state.tx.us; or mail a written request to: Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Attn: Public Information Officer, MC 197 P.O.

| TCEQ Offices |
| Office of the Commissioners: Three fulltime commissioners are appointed by the governor to establish overall agency direction and policy, and to make final determinations on contested permitting and enforcement matters. They are appointed for six-year terms with the advice and consent of the Texas Senate. A commissioner may not serve more than two six-year terms. The terms are staggered so that a different member's term expires every two years. The governor also names the chairman of the commission. Office of the Executive Director: Hired by the commissioners, the executive director is responsible for managing the agency's day-today operations. Office of Administrative Services: This office supports agency staff and external customers. It handles the agency's budget, information technology, human resources and physical assets. Office of Legal Services: This office manages the legal services for the agency in the areas of environmental law, enforcement litigation and general agency operations. Office of Compliance and Enforcement: This office enforces compliance with the state's environmental laws; responds to emergency events and natural disasters that threaten human health and the environment; oversees dam safety; and monitors air and water quality within the state. In addition the division oversees the operations of 16 regional and two special project offices across the state. Office of Environmental Policy, Analysis and Assessment: This office has four major functions: strategic environmental analysis and assessment; the coordination of all agency policy development and rulemaking; the coordination of border affairs and the technical analysis of data to support these functions. It also handles legislative implementation strategies, monthly regulatory forums that provide information to interested groups; and the executive review of documents communicating the agnecy's policy agency's policy positions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies, to Congress, and to national organizations. The Border Affairs staff focuses on working with TCEQ regional offices on the border, serves as a clearinghouse for border information, helps develop cross-border agreements on common environmental problems with Mexican counterparts, and with other stakeholders, including the private sector and non-governmental organizations. It also works on issues related to the North American Free Trade Agreement. Office of Permitting, Remediation and Registration: This office implements the federal and state laws and regulations governing all aspects of permitting for the air, water and waste programs. It oversees the investigation and cleanup of hazardous pollutants released into the environment, registers and manages the reporting requirements for certain facilities, and implements the petroleum storage tank reimbursement program. The staff of the bankruptcy program pursues debtors in U.S. bankruptcy courts for recovery of claims owed to the TCEQ. Office staff also manage the agency's major database projects. |
