Common Texas SWP3 & ProTexion Questions

When is an SWP3 and TPDES TXR150000 permit required in Texas?

Any construction project in Texas that disturbs 1 acre or more of soil—or disturbs less than 1 acre as part of a Common Plan of Development or Sale that totals 1 acre or more—must have a site-specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) prior to soil disturbance. Small construction sites (1 to under 5 acres) post a Small Construction Site Notice (CSN) and notify the local MS4. Large construction sites (5+ acres) must also file an electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) in TCEQ STEERS.

What is the difference between ProTex Environmental field inspections and ProTexion?

ProTex Environmental provides turnkey in-person field inspections across the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex where our TCEQ specialists walk your jobsite on a 7-day or 14-day schedule. For General Contractors building anywhere in Texas who want their own superintendents to conduct self-inspections on a phone, ProTexion (useprotexion.com / protexionapp.com) provides a guided mobile inspection platform for a single flat fee per project ($149–$299) with GPS-stamped photos, open deficiency tracking, dewatering logs, and instant PDF reports.

Which DFW cities require 7-day stormwater inspections plus 0.5-inch rain event walks?

While TPDES General Permit TXR150000 statewide allows operators to choose either a 14-day + 0.5-inch rain schedule or a 7-day schedule, seven municipal MS4 jurisdictions in DFW require routine inspections every 7 calendar days AND within 24 hours of a 0.5-inch storm event: Arlington, Burleson, DFW Airport, Grand Prairie, Irving, Murphy, and Prosper.
