P2 Annual Progress Reports

Resources for filling out Pollution Prevention Annual Progress Reports

Purpose of the Annual Progress Report

The Annual Progress Report (APR) is intended to:

  • Encourage facilities to assess and monitor their pollution prevention efforts.
  • Measure statewide progress in preventing pollution.

The APR documents the amount of pollution that would have been generated if you did not have a pollution-prevention project. The APR often reveals opportunities to further reduce waste and increase profits.

Applicability

The following facilities must submit Annual Progress Reports:

Small quantity generators who do not report on the TRI form R are not required to submit an APR but must prepare a P2 Plan and submit the Executive Summary to TCEQ.

The APR is not the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s waste minimization report (Biennial Report Form WM/IC), or the TCEQ Annual Waste Summary.

You can submit the APR online through STEERS, or by mail or email.

Submit the APR Online Through STEERS

  • Submit the APR online through STEERS during the online reporting period May 15 - July 1.
    • Outside of this reporting window, you can only use STEERS to edit your P2 contacts or view past APR submissions.
    • Note: P2 Executive Summaries cannot be submitted through STEERS
  • Companies submitting APRs for 10 or more facilities must use STEERS.
  • For instructions on submitting APRs through STEERS, see Help completing the APR using STEERS

Due Dates

  • APRs are due on July 1 each year.
  • We typically mail courtesy notices in May each year. If you think you are required to submit an APR but didn’t get a notice, please contact us.
  • If you begin a new plan, the first APR is due after the first year your plan is in place. You report on the progress of your P2 Plan for the previous year.
    • For example, if you begin a plan on January 1, 2024, your first P2 Annual Progress Report is due July 1, 2025. The report would cover January 1 to December 31 of 2024.
