IHW Management Fees

UPDATE The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will maintain the industrial and hazardous waste (IHW) management fee at the current rates and will not proceed with the increase scheduled for September 1, 2023.

TCEQ notified entities by letter dated June 1, 2023, that the IHW fee would increase for waste managed on or after September 1, 2023. HB 3461 was signed into law (88th legislature) on June 13, 2023. This bill combined the account balances and obligations of two TCEQ dedicated waste management accounts. With the consolidation of these accounts, TCEQ will maintain the IHW fees at current rates as listed in Table 1. The IHW management fee will not increase on September 1, 2023.

TCEQ will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the waste-related fees and revenues and the level of agency workload related to each group of entities paying fees. Using this analysis, the agency, with stakeholder involvement and input, will develop a fee structure at an appropriate level of rates to generate revenue in proportion to agency workload and fee payer benefits to support a long-term, sustainable revenue source for waste programs.

TCEQ will continue to assess fees according to the current schedules, which became effective September 1, 2022:
