The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) announced that it will exercise enforcement discretion on a case-by-case basis as opposed to the EPA’s broader temporary enforcement policy issued on March 26, 2020.
Under its more tailored approach, the TCEQ has not relaxed any limits on air emissions or discharges to water. Similarly, the TCEQ has not relaxed any reporting requirements related to emissions or discharges exceeding those limits. The TCEQ continues to monitor and ensure safe drinking water and safe management of waste.
