General Permit Requirements for Water Discharges from Concrete Production

Steps to follow when applying for coverage under General Permit No. TXG110000 for the discharge of facility wastewater, contact storm water, or both from ready-mixed concrete plants, concrete products plants, and their associated facilities (SIC Codes 3271, 3272, and 3273).

TPDES General Permit TXG110000 was renewed and will be effective November 7, 2011. The permit and fact sheet are available. Facilities that are currently authorized must submit a Notice of Intent by February 6, 2012 to maintain their authorization.

After obtaining coverage under this permit, you will need to do the following:

Adhere to the requirements of the general permit (TXG110000).
Complete and submit the Discharge Monitoring Report Form (3320-1), as required.
If the owner or operator changes, the present owner and operator must submit a Notice of Termination (NOT) and the new owner and operator must submit an NOI.
If the discharge becomes unnecessary, is delayed or is completed, the permittee may voluntarily terminate coverage by submitting an NOT.
If you are discharging to an MS4 (HTML), you must submit a copy of the following to the operator of that system at the same time you submit them to the TCEQ:
- Notice of Intent (NOI)
- Notice of Termination

The permit is in effect until the NOT is submitted. Fees will accrue annually on September 1.

Even if the general permit described above applies to your situation, you may request coverage under an individual permit (HTML).
