Templates for Preparing Municipal Solid Waste Alternative Language Notices in Spanish

If you are applying for a municipal solid waste permit, permit amendment, or registration, you will need to determine if you are required to provide a newspaper notice in an alternative language. If the requirement applies, you will need to prepare notices in English and in the alternative language or languages. In all cases an applicant must submit a public notice verification form, whether or not an alternative language notice is required.

Notices in English are prepared by the TCEQ and provided to applicants. Notices in alternative languages must be prepared by applicants. Templates for alternative language notices in Spanish as well as links to public notice verification forms are provided on this page.
