Keep Your Records up to Date
The records you keep each time you collect or dispose of waste
show your efforts to comply with the rules. If you transport sludge
wastes by truck, you can ensure that your records stay up to date
in these ways (if you transport wastes by rail or water, you may
keep records by an alternate method if you obtain our approval
first):
- Keep up with your trip tickets (also called waste
manifests).
- If you deliver wastes to "‘beneficial use’ sites,"
keep the additional documentation needed for this activity.
- Watch out for discrepancies between the information in your
records and the wastes you transport.
File Your Annual Summary Report on Time Each Year
As a registered transporter, you must obtain and file an Annual Summary
Report (ASR; TCEQ-0316) by June 15 each year. This report, is a
summary of the waste that you transported from June 1 of one year
through May 31 of the following year. Each line of the report shows
the total amount of one type of waste that you transported to one
receiver during that reporting period. Use your trip tickets for
that reporting period to get the information needed to complete
your ASR.
For more details on reporting requirements and what forms need
to be completed, see TCEQ publication RG-309, the
Step-by-Step Guide to Registration, Operating, and Reporting
Requirements for Transporting Sludge Wastes in Texas. For
state rules regarding sludge use, disposal, and transportation, see
the rules behind this guidance found in Title 30, Texas
Administrative Code,
Chapter 312, Subchapter G, Section 312.145.
