Through the Site Assistance Visit Plus (SAV+) Program, facility
owners or operators can get help generating innovative strategies;
identifying performance issues; and getting site-specific,
pollution prevention tips on air, water, and waste issues.
Benefits to Your
Facility
Participating in the SAV+ Program can help
your business save money, reduce waste, and conserve resources. The
TCEQ's
SAV+ Team of engineers and scientists comes to your site and shares
the knowledge it gained from visits to all kinds of facilities over
the past decade. So far, Texas businesses have:
- saved more than $200 million dollars,
- reduced 150,000 tons of hazardous waste,
- reduced 450,000 tons of non-hazardous waste,
- conserved 2.6 billion gallons of water, and
- conserved 500 megawatt-hours of energy.
Confidentiality
Information shared during site assistance visits is
confidential. Team members do not share their findings
with enforcement personnel at any state or federal agency including
the TCEQ
unless they observe an imminent threat to human health or
the environment. The process also takes into account the
need for your business to protect proprietary or confidential
process information.
