NEW 2021 Virtual P2WM Workshop

On September 16, 2021, we will be cohosting a virtual Pollution Prevention Waste Management (P2WM) Workshop.

The Pollution Prevention Waste Management Workshop is a cooperative effort with the University of Texas Arlington (UTA), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide industry leaders with current information and professional development in the various aspects of pollution prevention.

To register for the Workshop or to learn more, visit www.p2workshop.com.

For additional information, please contact us at 512-239-0010 or p2@tceq.texas.gov.

P2 Inactivation

To inactivate or close out a P2 ID number, any associated Solid Waste Registrations (SWR) must first be inactivated and/or the facility must no longer plan to submit a Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Form R. To inactivate your facility’s SWR status, please contact IHW Registration and Reporting at wasteval@tceq.texas.gov.

Once the SWR is inactive, please send an email to P2@tceq.texas.gov outlining the situation. If possible, include site specific information (i.e. P2 ID No., SWR ID, RN, etc.), closure date(s), or additional information pertinent to the facility.

If the facility is relocating, the P2 ID will remain with the previous location and a new P2 ID will be assigned to the new location upon submitting a TCEQ Core Data Form.
