PLEASE NOTE: Effective September 1, 2018, applicants must submit the NOI, LREW, NOT, and NOC forms using the online e-permitting system available through the TCEQ website or request and obtain an electronic reporting waiver. Electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable and expire on the same date as the authorization to discharge.
ePermits online applications (HTML): This link takes you to the TCEQ's STEERS webpage, which is the State of Texas Environmental Electronic Reporting System. STEERS allows you to get instant authorization (Notice of Intent, No Exposure Certification) or to instantly terminate a permit (Notice of Termination). Applying for your CGP NOI online with STEERS will reduce your application fee from $325 (paper NOI) to $225 (CNOI). If you are unfamiliar with STEERS, please see our “How To Register with STEERS”
document for assistance in setting up your account.
