To report a pollution event or wildlife kill you can contact the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Kills and Spills Team (KAST). KAST is a team of biologists that work to determine the causes of wildlife kills and/or pollution events, to minimize environmental damage resulting from wildlife kills and/or pollution events, and to obtain compensation for environmental damage and restore the affected environment.
To contact Texas Parks and Wildlife KAST Team, call (512) 389-4848 or contact your regional Kills and Spills Team biologist. Click here to find your regional KAST biologist.
To report an illicit discharge, please contact your city office. Many cities allow citizens to anonymously report illicit discharges online. Check your city’s Department of Water or Department of Public Works for an online form, or, alternatively, you can contact your city office at their main office phone line.
If your city does not have an applicable means of reporting illicit discharges, you can also contact the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Office of Compliance and Enforcement at the 24-hour line 800-832-8224. If you would prefer to contact your regional TCEQ Field Office, you can find applicable contact information on the TCEQ website.
For assistance with reporting illicit discharges please contact Texas Stream Team at TxStreamTeam@txstate.edu or by calling (512) 245-1346.
