RV Parks: Am I Regulated?
be transported, recycled, or disposed of properly by companies that have
registrations or permits with the TCEQ.
Improperly managed municipal solid waste can threaten human health by
attracting rodents, flies, and mosquitoes that carry diseases. The TCEQ's
regulations state that "no person may cause, ...allow, or permit any
activity of storage, processing, removal, or disposal of any solid waste
unless such activity is authorized by a permit or other authorization from
the [TCEQ]." (30 TAC 330.7)
Burning Trash
The TCEQ, as well as many local and county governments, has very
strict rules regarding outdoor burning. Although the TCEQ allows
residents of private homes to burn their domestic waste under certain
circumstances, the regulations prohibit burning trash from RV parks,
because these are considered commercial properties.
Is a Permit Required for Construction
Activities?
If you are building an RV park, and the construction will disturb 1 acre or
more of land, then you will be required to obtain coverage under the
TCEQ's Construction General Storm Water Permit. The permit
requirements are based on the amount of land that will be disturbed
according to the development plan. You can determine whether the TCEQ
regulates your construction site by consulting the agency's Web page
"Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activities,"
<www.tceq.texas.gov/ goto/ construction>.
Construction Sites Located over the Edwards Aquifer
When construction activities are slated to occur over the recharge,
transition, or contributing zones of the Edwards Aquifer, you may
need to submit an Edwards Aquifer Protection Plan to the TCEQ
regional office in San Antonio or Austin. Construction sites located in
Williamson, Travis, Hays, Comal, Bexar, Medina, Uvalde, and Kinney
counties may be subject to the TCEQ's Edwards Aquifer rules. You can
determine whether your site is located over the Edwards Aquifer by
consulting the TCEQ's Edwards Aquifer Map Viewer, at
<www.tceq.texas.gov/ goto/ eapp/mapviewer>.
For assistance in determining whether the Edwards rules apply to your
activities and in complying with the rules, see the TCEQ's pamphlet
Rules Protecting the Edwards Aquifer (RG-011), available online at
