When must the TCEQ be notified about expansions of a wastewater treatment facility?

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) must be notified before construction of any expansions to a wastewater treatment facility to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and to assess any potential impacts on public health and the environment. This notification is a crucial step in the permitting process, as it allows the agency to review the proposed changes, evaluate the facility's capacity, and ensure that it meets all necessary standards and requirements. By providing this advance notification, the facility can avoid non-compliance issues, stand ready for inspections, and ensure that they are fully aligned with environmental policies prior to beginning any physical work on the site.
