Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) imposes reporting requirements on the oil and gas industry in Texas. RSB Environmental can assist companies in fulfilling these reporting obligations. Some of the reporting requirements imposed by TCEQ include:
- Annual Emissions Inventory Reporting: Oil and gas facilities are required to submit annual emissions inventory reports to TCEQ. These reports detail the types and amounts of air pollutants emitted from their operations, including criteria pollutants (such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds) and hazardous air pollutants.
- Spill Reporting: In the event of a spill or release of oil, chemicals, or hazardous materials, companies are required to report the incident to TCEQ. Environmental consultants can help companies navigate the reporting process and ensure compliance with spill reporting requirements, including timely notifications and the submission of spill response and cleanup plans.
- Waste Reporting: Oil and gas operations generate various types of waste, including hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste. Companies must comply with reporting requirements for waste management, including the submission of waste manifests, tracking and reporting the quantities and types of waste generated, and ensuring proper disposal or recycling.
- Stormwater Permit Compliance Reporting: Facilities engaged in oil and gas activities must obtain stormwater permits and comply with reporting obligations related to stormwater management. This includes documenting stormwater runoff monitoring data, implementing best management practices, and submitting annual reports on stormwater management activities.
- Groundwater Monitoring and Reporting: TCEQ may require oil and gas facilities to conduct groundwater monitoring to assess potential impacts on groundwater quality. Environmental consultants can help companies design and implement groundwater monitoring programs, analyze monitoring data, and prepare and submit reports to TCEQ as per the specified requirements.
It's important to note that reporting requirements may vary based on the specific operations, permits held, and regulatory changes.
