By State regulations and its contract with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Texoma Council of Governments is obligated to review permit and registration applications for municipal solid waste management facilities to be located within TCOG's planning region for conformance with the adopted regional solid waste management plan for the region.  Additionally, TCOG may perform preliminary review on projects while they are still in the planning stages.  This page provides access to the regulatory and contractual requirements for these conformance reviews, the TCEQ form to be completed by TCOG in making such a review, and information on current formal and preliminary reviews in process (including time lines).  

Members of the public are invited to comment on any of the reviews underway during the appropriate comment period.  Comments may be submitted by fax to 903/813-3539 or made online through using the form provided by clicking here.    All comments received become the property of TCOG, will be used in the overall review process, and will be available for reading at TCOG by the public.

Additional information on this process may be obtained from the Regional Environmental Coordinator, David Trout, at 903/813-3550.
