Many construction and industrial sites in Texas need stormwater permit coverage from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the state agency that runs stormwater permitting under the federal Clean Water Act. The city does not issue these state permits, but projects in Fredville must have any required state coverage in place before work begins.
State Stormwater Permits
- Construction sites: projects that disturb one acre or more, or that are part of a larger common plan of development, generally need coverage under the state construction general permit and a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP).
- Industrial facilities: certain types of industrial activity need coverage under the state multi-sector general permit.
- Municipal storm sewer systems: cities such as Fredville operate their storm drain systems under a separate state permit.
Forms and Guidance
Permit applications, notices of intent and termination, and guidance documents are available from the TCEQ stormwater permitting program on the agency's website.
