EnviroMentor Help for Small Businesses and Local Governments

The EnviroMentor program assists small businesses, local governments and independent school districts with environmental regulations such as completing paperwork and answering technical questions. The program is managed by TCEQ’s Small Business and Local Government Assistance (SBLGA) section, which provides confidential assistance without the threat of enforcement. Therefore, EnviroMentor assistance is confidential and does not lead to inspections, citations or fines.

What is an EnviroMentor

EnviroMentors are qualified professionals with technical or legal expertise on environmental issues who volunteer to help small businesses, local governments and ISDs with state environmental rules. Many EnviroMentors are private-sector consultants. Some are engineers; others are successful professionals (for example, a wastewater system operator) who provide peer-to-peer advice.
