

Notice of Registration (NOR) Review

Your Annual Waste Summary is only as accurate as the Notice of Registration behind it. We verify your SWR number, EPA ID, waste streams, and management units, then update your NOR so STEERS accepts your filing without errors.



Waste Characterization & Classification

Proper hazardous-waste determinations and Class 1 industrial classifications are the foundation of a defensible report. We document every waste stream through process knowledge and sampling, eliminating the misclassification errors that trigger TCEQ scrutiny.



Texas Waste Code Assignment

Every waste stream must carry the correct eight-digit Texas Waste Code and EPA Hazardous Waste Number. We assign and reconcile your codes against your manifests so quantities reported match quantities shipped.



STEERS Electronic Filing

Large Quantity Generators must file through TCEQ's STEERS system, and the platform's validation rules are unforgiving. We prepare your submission using Annual Preparation Files built from your manifest data, then file it accurately ahead of the March 1 deadline.



Fee Calculation & Exemption Review

Your waste-generation fee is calculated directly from the tonnage you report. We confirm your quantities, identify every qualifying fee exemption, and claim it on the report before the invoice due date to keep your costs as low as the rules allow.



RCRA Biennial Report Reconciliation

In Texas, your STEERS Annual Waste Summary satisfies the federal RCRA Biennial Report, there is no separate EPA filing. We reconcile your data so a single submission meets both your state and federal obligations correctly.

FAQ

Common Questions About the TCEQ Annual Waste Summary

Have a question not answered here? Our consultants are available for a free initial discussion.

Ask an Expert

Does the Annual Waste Summary replace my federal RCRA report?

Yes. In Texas, your STEERS Annual Waste Summary satisfies the federal RCRA Biennial Report, so Large Quantity Generators do not file a separate report with the EPA. We reconcile your data so a single, accurate submission meets both your state and federal obligations.

What happens if I file late or inaccurately?

Failing to file, filing late, or submitting an inaccurate Annual Waste Summary can lead to TCEQ enforcement, with administrative penalties of up to $25,000 per day in addition to late-payment penalties on your waste-generation fee. Accurate, on-time filing is the simplest way to avoid investigations and costly agreed orders.

What is STEERS and do I have to use it?

STEERS is the State of Texas Environmental Electronic Reporting System, TCEQ’s online portal for submitting the Annual Waste Summary and other environmental reports. Large Quantity Generators are required to file through STEERS, and the system’s built-in validation rules make accurate data preparation essential.

What is the TCEQ Annual Waste Summary?

The TCEQ Annual Waste Summary (Form TCEQ-00436) is a mandatory yearly report filed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality that documents the hazardous and Class 1 industrial waste a facility generated during the prior calendar year. It is required under 30 Texas Administrative Code §335.9 and is used by TCEQ to calculate waste-generation fees and report to the EPA.

When is the TCEQ Annual Waste Summary due?

Electronic filings submitted through TCEQ’s STEERS system are due by March 1, while paper Form TCEQ-00436 filings are due by January 25. Both report on the prior calendar year, and Large Quantity Generators are required to file electronically through STEERS.

Who is required to file a TCEQ Annual Waste Summary?

Any facility holding an active Texas Solid Waste Registration must file an Annual Waste Summary every year, including Large and Small Quantity Generators of hazardous waste and generators of more than 220 pounds per month of Class 1 industrial waste. Even registered facilities that generated nothing reportable must still file a “No Report Required” summary.
