TCEQ Fines – Why It Is NOT Better to Ask for Forgiveness

TCEQ Fines and penalties for Stormwater Quality Ponds in Austin TX - Why it is NOT better to ask for forgiveness when it comes to notice of violations and notice of enforcement from the City of Austin.

TCEQ is responsible for ensuring that water quality and detention systems across Texas are up to code. When they find a violation during an inspection, they issue a Notice of Violation (NOV), which documents the problems and outlines what needs to be done to fix them. Ignoring this notice, or hoping it will go away, is a risky move.
