Texas Environmental Violation Notices from Consolidated Compliance System

Approved regional investigations resulting in Notices of Violation (NOVs) documented in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's Consolidated Compliance and Enforcement Data System (CCEDS). The dataset includes violation citations categorized as A, B, or C, with each NOV sent as a physical letter to regulated entities. It is maintained by the City of Austin.

Use Cases

• Analyze the frequency and distribution of Category A, B, and C violation citations across regulated entities.
• Identify patterns in noncompliance by correlating violation categories with specific regulatory requirements mentioned in NOVs.
• Track the outcomes of regional investigations documented in the CCEDS system for environmental enforcement analysis.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Consolidated Compliance and Enforcement Data System (CCEDS).
• Includes specific violation categorization (Category A, B, and C) for detailed analysis.
• Managed and updated by a governmental organization (City of Austin), with a recent update in February 2026.

Limitations

• The total number of records (rows) and specific data fields (columns) are unknown, limiting upfront assessment of scope.
• Data may be incomplete as other agency databases may contain information on additional violations not in this collection.
• The 'notspecified' license status creates ambiguity regarding permissible use and redistribution.
