Other statutes, rules, and permits may also authorize waste between jurisdictions.(b) Waste transfers across jurisdictional authorities must be reported to the Commission beginning December 31, 2026. (1) TCEQ-jurisdictional waste or waste from another jurisdiction being received by a Commission-regulated facility shall be reported as follows:(A) If the receiving facility is required by permit or rule to file a quarterly report with the Commission, then the quarterly report must identify and quantify the waste received from other jurisdictions.(B) If the receiving facility is not required by permit to file a quarterly report with the Commission, then the receiving facility shall file a monthly report within 30 days of the end of each calendar month in which non-jurisdictional waste was received. The monthly report shall summarize the identity and quantity of waste received from the other jurisdiction and shall include a copy of all waste manifests and waste characterization documentation.(2) RRC-jurisdictional waste that is transferred to be managed at a facility regulated by TCEQ or another authority shall be reported to the Commission by the generator of the waste within 30 days of the waste transfer and shall include a copy of all waste manifests and waste characterization documentation.(c) Beginning December 31, 2026, special waste authorization is required for all waste transfers that are not otherwise authorized by statute, rule, or permit. The generator of the waste is required to obtain the special waste authorization from the appropriate authorities.(d) The Commission shall create a Special Waste Authorization Form suitable for these purposes.16 Tex.
