Industrial and Hazardous Waste Registration and Reporting: Am I Regulated?

Who Registers With and Reports to the TCEQ?

  • If you are considered to be industrial and your Waste Generation Category is Conditionally Exempt Small-Quantity Generator (CESGQ--industrial) and your business generates more than 100 kg of nonhazardous Class 1 waste in a calendar month
  • If your Waste Generation Category is Small-Quantity Generator (SQG)
  • If your Waste Generation Category is Large-Quantity Generator (LQG)
  • If you transport industrial Class 1 waste or hazardous waste (Register only. This category has no reporting requirement.)
  • If your facility receives industrial Class 1 waste or hazardous waste from an off-site source

To register, you must complete a Core Data Form (TCEQ-10400) and an Initial Notification Package for Hazardous or Industrial Waste Management, Waste Streams, and Waste Management Units (TCEQ-00002; instructions also available).

For more details on who registers with and reports to the TCEQ and what forms need to be completed, see STOP--You May Not Need to Fill Out Industrial and Hazardous Waste Forms (RG-222).
