ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS
We help guide and promote collaboration among regional public entities to progressively address common environmental issues and development challenges.
ETCOG has partnered with local governments to form Northeast Texas Air Care (NETAC) to fill the need of a more organized and comprehensive approach to improving air quality based on regional needs.
We are the state designated organization for municipal solid waste planning in East Texas. With guidance from our solid waste advisory committee, we manage a pass-through grant program and closed landfill inventory.
Through a grant from TCEQ, we have created an online reporting tool to provide an easy and effective way to report illegal dumping in the ETCOG region. All complaints are reported to the jurisdiction responsible for investigation.
ETCOG offers a community re-development program through a grant from the EPA for properties that are abandoned or underutilized because of suspected environmental contamination from past uses.
Annual Grant Funding
We take pride in utilizing regional goals and waste diversion resources to coordinate projects that benefit health and safety. To support regional waste minimization efforts in the region, our solid waste program accepts applications for annual Municipal Solid Waste grant funds available through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The grant application period opens every fall.
