Railroad Commission Updates Implementation Information for New Chapter 4 Rules

June 30, 2025

With the implementation of the new Chapter 4, Subchapter A waste management rules on July 1, 2025, the Railroad Commission has updated the Environmental Permits and Support Unit page on the RRC website to include current information to help stakeholders with the implementation. The website includes guidance focused on the changes relevant to the new rules, including Authorized Pits, Waste Profiles and Waste Manifests.

The website includes draft versions of several forms which may be used even though they are still being proposed and have not been formally adopted by the Commission. Recorded webinars from earlier this spring and other materials are also available for download on the website.

Any information regarding implementation of the new Chapter 4 rules can be directed to the Environmental Permits and Support Unit at (512) 463-3840 or by sending an email to EPSch4@rrc.texas.gov. The webpage contains other contacts for specific programs, such as Authorized Pits, Waste Haulers and Waste Management Permits.
