Compliance Overview Tools

Through cooperation with the Texas Association of Metal Finishers (TAMF ), it has been shown that the following types of problems seem to affect the metal finishing industry more than others:

  • improper storage and incorrect labeling of hazardous wastes
  • hazardous material spills
  • incorrect or insufficient notification of the types of materials used and stored
  • unidentified containers
  • unauthorized discharges onto property
  • record keeping violations such as (among others) failure to submit a Toxics Release Inventory Report to the EPA and the TCEQ.
