Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
KTB has partnered with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality since the early 2000’s to promote its statewide Take Care of Texas campaign. Take Care of Texas encourages all Texans to make lifestyle and habit changes that will help improve air and water quality, conserve water and energy, reduce waste and save individuals a little money in the process.
KTB also serves as a third-party administrator for the commission's Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEP) program. When the TCEQ cites an environmental infraction and levies a fine against a business or organization, that entity can negotiate an agreement to fund a SEP project to offset the penalty. KTB administers the funds through the KTB affiliate network; when an affiliate’s project plan is approved, the amount of the fine is redirected to the affiliate's community or the county in which the infraction occurred. A potential SEP can include the cleanup of an illegal dump site, community collection of household hazardous waste, a waterway cleanup, or a pollution prevention project.
