Updates to Existing Industrial and Hazardous Waste Registrations

Note that large quantity generators must submit updates to their notice of registration using STEERS unless STEERS does not allow the change. View the changes allowed in STEERS.

• To add a waste stream (Texas Waste Code/TWC), including episodic generation events:
• add it electronically via STEERS on the "Wastes" tab in the "Industrial and Hazardous Waste" program area, or
• submit Parts F & G of the Notification for Hazardous or Industrial Waste Management Form (TCEQ-00002) ( Instructions)

NOTE: Guidelines for the Classification and Coding of Industrial Wastes and Hazardous Wastes may be helpful when adding new waste streams.

• To add an on-site waste management unit (WMU):
• add it electronically via STEERS on the "Units" tab in the "Industrial and Hazardous Waste" program area, or
• submit Parts E & G of the Notification for Hazardous or Industrial Waste Management Form (TCEQ-00002) ( Instructions)
• To Update an existing TWC or WMU:
• submit updates electronically via STEERS on the "Units" tab or "Wastes" tab in the "Industrial and Hazardous Waste" program area, or
• submit a letter with the following information.
  • facility's solid waste registration number.
  • description of the changes (Note: for reactivation of a Texas Waste Code, please include the waste management unit numbers where the waste is managed and whether the waste is managed on-site and/or off-site.)
  • contact person for questions (including phone number and/or e-mail address.)
  • signature of the person submitting the update.
• To update a permitted WMU, contact IHW permits at (512) 239-2335 or ihwper@tceq.texas.gov.  The Registration and Reporting Section cannot make changes to permitted units, and the changes cannot be done through STEERS. Updates to permitted waste management units require a permit modification.
• To update administrative information, such as contacts, owner/operator changes, and generator status, submit  Parts B, C, D & G of the Notification for Hazardous or Industrial Waste Management Form (TCEQ-00002) ( Instructions)
• For SQG re-notification, any update to your registration or annual waste summary submittal fulfills the renotification requirement. The update or annual waste summary must be submitted prior to September 1, 2025.

Updates not submitted via STEERS should be sent via postal mail to:
TCEQ
Registration and Reporting MC-129
PO Box 13087
Austin, TX 78711-3087
or via fax to (512) 239-6410
