Effective March 1, 2020, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Petroleum Storage Tank (PST) Program is revising the procedures on submitting documents to the PST Program for review and comment. Please note the following regarding electronic files becoming a standard and mandatory procedure.
The Remediation Division of the TCEQ is in the process of transitioning to electronic record keeping with the Central File Room. Therefore, all paper documents submitted to the program should include electronic copies of all submittals (on disc or USB flash drive). The electronic and hard copies should be identical, complete copies. Electronic records should be unlocked/unencrypted in order for protected personally identifiable information (PII) or confidential information to be redacted from electronic documents prior to being made publicly available for viewing. A Correspondence ID Form (TCEQ Form 20428) must accompany each document submitted to the Remediation Division, and should be affixed to the front of your submittal. The Correspondence ID Form helps ensure that your documents are identified correctly and are routed to the applicable program for a timely response.
