Advisory Group on Heat Recovery Steam Generators

This advisory group will assist the TCEQ staff in determining how to calculate the pollution control use percentage for categories of equipment in Part B of the Equipment and Categories List, which is part of the Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property program.

About the Group

Members of this advisory group will evaluate the items in Part B of the Equipment and Categories List (ECL)–in particular, categories B-8 (heat recovery steam generators) and B-10 (enhanced steam turbine systems)–to determine the appropriate pollution control use percentages, if any. The outcome, if any, will be submitted as a recommendation to the TCEQ Executive Director. If the Executive Director approves the recommendation, it will be incorporated into the program document (PDF), (Help with PDF), the next time the rules that affect the ECL are updated.

List of Members

Members participating in this group will consist of:

  • TCEQ staff
  • use-determination applicants from whom the TCEQ Executive Director has active applications or current appeals under Part B, B-8 or B-10,
  • all tax appraisal districts affected by the pending applications and appeals under Part B, B-8 or B-10,
  • consultants for the affected appraisal districts and applicants, and
  • citizen groups.

Meeting Schedule

Two meetings are scheduled at the TCEQ Complex (see a map to our location.)
