General Operating Permit (GOP) Information

Information and documentation pertaining to all Air General Operating Permits

A general operating permit (GOP) provides a streamlined application and permitting process for sites that are similar in terms of operations, emission units, and applicable requirements. These GOPs provide an alternative permitting mechanism under Title 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 122 (30 TAC Chapter 122). The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will be providing several tools to aid the GOP permit holder in monitoring changes to index numbers and future changes associated with revised requirements. Issuance, revision, and recision of a GOP will follow procedural requirements under 30 TAC Chapter 122 Subchapter F which include a 30-day public comment period, and affected state review, a 45-day U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review, and a 60-day public petition period.
