Supplemental Environmental Projects

A Supplemental Environmental Project is a means for directing fines, fees, and penalties for environmental violations toward environmentally beneficial uses. Through a SEP, a respondent in an enforcement matter can choose to invest penalty dollars in improving the environment, rather than paying into the Texas General Revenue Fund.
