TCEQ Texas Environmental

Live

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality contamination, water, and air datasets — LPST, Superfund, VCP, brownfield, IHWCA, PWS wells, wastewater outfalls, and AQS monitoring sites.

What is TCEQ Texas Environmental?

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality public ArcGIS REST MapServer covering ~30K Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank sites, ~19K active Petroleum Storage Tanks, ~170 Superfund sites, ~3K Voluntary Cleanup Program sites, ~210 Brownfields, ~5.7K Industrial Hazardous Waste sites, ~19K Public Water System wells, ~4.6K wastewater outfalls, and ~230 air-quality monitoring sites. Search by county, bbox, or radius; combine Edwards Aquifer + PGMA + GCD coverage in a single point-in-polygon overlay. Counties returned in Title Case; PWS and AQS layers have no county field — pass `bbox` or `near` for those.
