Disposition Requirements for TERP

Step 1

Download, read, and fill out the TCEQ Disposition Form

• Replacement: use page 2
• Repower: use page 3

Step 2

Take photos BEFORE destroying old equipment

You must take new color photos of both sides of the equipment and engine block before destroying it. Consult the Disposition Form or the Photo Guidance page for more details.

Step 3

Destroy your old equipment

Option 1: Complete the disposition yourself.

Option 2: Have your equipment destroyed by a third party.

Option 3: Request approval for alternative disposition from TCEQ. Before you destroy your old engine and vehicle or equipment using an alternative method, you must receive approval in writing from TCEQ, and the approval must be documented in the Special Conditions of your contract.

It’s very important to keep (or maintain access to) your old engine and vehicle or equipment until TCEQ accepts your disposition and provides you with a Start Keeping Records (SKR) letter.

Step 4

Take photos AFTER destroying old equipment

You are required to take specific color photos after destruction. Consult the Disposition Form or the Photo Guidance page for more details.

Step 5

Obtain a nonrepairable vehicle title

For on-road vehicles, grantees must get a nonrepairable vehicle title. To do this, submit an Application for Salvage or Nonrepairable Vehicle Title to Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.

Select the “Nonrepairable Vehicle Title” option at the top of the form. We will not accept salvage vehicle titles.

Step 6

Submit all forms and photos

Grantees must submit:

• Disposition Form
• Color photos before AND after destruction
• Nonrepairable Vehicle Title (on-road vehicles only)

If applicable:

• Affidavit that includes a statement of facts regarding the destruction of equipment
• Validation from a remanufacturing facility
