Use of a Private Contractor for Expediting Our Review of Your PST Reimbursement Application

The TCEQ contracted to get help with the review of applications for reimbursement. All but the most complex applications are being processed by the contractor. The TCEQ would like to maximize the benefit of the contractor.

There are twelve types of activities in our program. Of those activities, the contractor can review and process an application that contains no more than four of the following ten activities:

  1. Tank Removal
  2. PSH Recovery
  3. Excavation/Waste Management
  4. Site Assessment
  5. Risk Assessment
  6. Groundwater Monitoring
  7. Corrective Action Plan Preparation
  8. Initial Abatement
  9. CAP Feasibility Testing
  10. Site Closure.

The contractor is not sent applications that contain more than four activities or any of the more complex activities, such as:

  • Remediation System Installation
  • Operation, Monitoring & Performance

Simplifying applications by only including four activities or less in each application would help us to move more work to the contractor and free-up staff to address protests.

If you have any questions you can contact us by email at PST Reimbursement Or you may contact us directly by telephone at (512) 239-2002
