Subscription to The Advocate – either electronic or hardcopy – is a must for any small business or local government agency in Texas.

TCEQ regulates hazardous and non-hazardous waste from both industrial and non-industrial facilities.

The Advocate is the TCEQ’s Small Business and Local Government Assistance rules update, printed quarterly, containing information regarding compliance issues and regulatory concerns that affect small businesses and local governments.

From its banner:  For and about small businesses and local governments affected by environmental regulations

Take a look at The Advocate for 3rd Quarter 2014, or access the library of issues going back to Winter of 1997!

You can receive a hard-copy edition in the mail at no charge or you can sign up to receive an e-mail alert when each new issue is available on TCEQ’s web site.  Find out how to subscribe to either electronic or hardcopy.

No matter whether state or Federal, compliance with the regulations begins with knowledge.  I recommend you take advantage of this source of information to increase your knowledge of the regulations of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.  And, be sure to attend my one day Training Seminar in Austin, TX on August 13, 2014.  You’ll come away with an expanded awareness of the TCEQ regulations for the management of Industrial Solid Waste, Hazardous Waste, Universal Waste, and Used Oil.

Be sure to contact me with any questions you may have about the Texas regulations for the management of waste.
