Water Quality Permit Maintenance Forms

To make changes to your water quality permit or registration, you may need some of the following forms, which are made available in Portable Document Format (PDF). (Help with PDF.)

• Address Change
• Core Data Form
• Name Change
• Notification of Completion
• Request to Cancel a Water Quality Permit or Registration
• Transfer of Ownership - Wastewater/CAFO Individual Permit
• Transfer of Ownership - Sludge

• Address Change (TCEQ-00746). Use this form to change the address on the permit. The permit address can only be changed by endorsement, so this form must be used. If the address change is due to a change in ownership, a transfer of ownership form (wastewater/CAFO or sludge) will need to be used.

• Core Data Form (TCEQ-10400) (PDF) (Word) (Instructions) (More information can be found on the TCEQ Central Registry Core Data Form - Instructions and Guidance web page.) Use this form if part of a registration, application or update package, TCEQ staff ask you to complete it, or if you are in the Central Registry database and your core data has changed.

• Name Change (TCEQ-20028) Use this form to change the name on the permit. A name change can only be processed when the Texas Secretary of State can verify that a name change has occurred. If the corporate charter number or certificate of authority registration number issued by the Secretary of State has changed, this is considered a change in ownership and will require the permit/registration to be transferred. If the name change is due to a change in ownership, a transfer application form will need to be used to apply for a transfer of ownership.

• Notification of Completion (TCEQ-20007) Use this form when a facility is placed operational or goes into a new phase of operation. The completed form should be returned at least 45 days before you plan to bring the facility on line or go into a new phase of operation.

• Request to Cancel a Water Quality Permit or Registration (TCEQ-20029). Use this form to cancel your water quality permit or registration. For example, applicants often request a cancellation for one of these reasons:

  • Never started operation

  • Terminated service

  • Diverted to another permitted facility

  • Land application site closed

  • Transferred to a general permit

  Note: If you have outstanding fees, we cannot approve your request to cancel the permit. For account balance information, contact the Financial Administration Division, Revenue Section, at 512/239-0344. Permits and registrations not canceled before September 1 will be assessed annual fees.

• Transfer of Ownership - Wastewater/CAFO Individual Permit (TCEQ-20031) Use this form when a change in ownership or operator occurs. (Must be transferred only if the operator is a co-permittee/co-registrant or is required to hold the permit or registration.)

• Transfer of Ownership - Sludge (TCEQ-20030). A permit or registration must be transferred when a change in operator occurs.
