Updates to Existing Industrial and Hazardous Waste Registrations
Information on how to update a Notice of Registration for a solid waste registration using STEERS or the Notification for Hazardous or Industrial Management Form 00002.
Note that large quantity generators must submit updates to their notice of registration using STEERS unless STEERS does not allow the change. View the changes allowed in STEERS.
- To add a waste stream (Texas Waste Code/TWC), including episodic generation events:
- add it electronically via STEERS on the "Wastes" tab in the "Industrial and Hazardous Waste" program area, or
- submit Parts F & G of the Notification for Hazardous or Industrial Waste Management Form (TCEQ-00002) ( Instructions)
NOTE: Guidelines for the Classification and Coding of Industrial Wastes and Hazardous Wastes may be helpful when adding new waste streams.
- To add an on-site waste management unit (WMU):

- To Update an existing TWC or WMU:
- submit updates electronically via STEERS on the "Units" tab or "Wastes" tab in the "Industrial and Hazardous Waste" program area, or
- submit a letter with the following information.

- description of the changes (Note: for reactivation of a Texas Waste Code, please include the waste management unit numbers where the waste is managed and whether the waste is managed on-site and/or off-site.)

- For SQG re-notification, any update to your registration or annual waste summary submittal fulfills the renotification requirement. The update or annual waste summary must be submitted prior to September 1, 2025.
