Air PBR 106.146: Soil Stabilization Plants

Soil stabilization facilities are permitted by rule if they meet the conditions stated in 30 TAC Sections 106.4 and 106.146. Registrations under this PBR must be approved before construction begins. This page gives a brief overview of this permit by rule and links to relevant rules and forms.

Note: All PBR checklists that are made available to the public are optional and are not required forms. These checklists are provided for your convenience only.

Quick Screen

To qualify for this PBR, your soil stabilization facility must be at least 300 feet from the nearest:

  • Recreational area,
  • School,
  • Residence, other than that of the facility owner, facility operator, or site owner, or
  • Other structure, unless that structure is used by only the facility owner, facility operator, or site owner.

The only exception to this distance limitation is for a soil stabilization facility that is on or contiguous to the site of the project the facility serves. If you need more information about this exception, see Section 106.146 .

If your facility complies with this distance limitation:

  • Complete our PBR Applicability Checklist, TCEQ Form - 10149, to find out whether your facility meets the general conditions for a PBR, and
  • To find out whether it meets the specific conditions for this PBR, complete our PBR 106.146 Checklist, TCEQ Form - 10108.

If your facility cannot comply with the conditions indicated in these checklists, see Types of New Source Review Authorizations for other options.
