| Texas Risk Reduction Program regulations (TRRP; 30 TAC 350) establish consistent risk-based protocols for evaluation and response to soil, groundwater, or surface water contamination associated with an environmental release of hazardous wastes or substances. Since adoption of the TRRP rule, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. (TCEQ) has established policies and released guidance pertaining to TRRP.
