In order to file an NOI for your large construction site, you’ll need to create a State of Texas Environmental Electronic Reporting System (STEERS) account and ER number with the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The ER number is your STEERS account number that allows Cardinal to grant you access to the paperwork required for the SWPPP process.
Don’t worry, Cardinal has a simple step-by-step process for you to follow to make it as easy as possible.
Visit the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) STEERS Login page at https://www3.tceq.texas.gov/steers/.
On the right under the bold heading that reads, “I need:”, click the link next to the second bullet point that reads, “to create a new account.”
On the next page, fill in the appropriate information for each field. When you’re done, click the “Next” button at the bottom of the page.
Note: The primary operator is who should be filing for an NOI.
Then, you’ll set up 5 security questions and answers for your account. When you’re done, click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page.
When you’re done, scroll down until you see a few blank fields to fill in including a TDL Number, TDL Audit Number (the _ digit at the bottom of your license), SSN and Date of Birth. When you’re done, click the “E-Sign SPA” button at the bottom of the screen.
Congratulations! You’ve activated your STEERS account and ER number. The next step is to contact your Cardinal Strategies’ representative.
