Site development permits

Coordinated with the civil team and tracked through each review round.

TCEQ coordination

Managing submittal and review with the state alongside the local process, which run on separate clocks.

Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone permitting

Water Pollution Abatement Plans and Contributing Zone Plans, coordinated with the geologist and civil engineer.

Storage tank permitting

Underground and aboveground storage tank approvals.

Sewage collection system coordination

TCEQ SCS review, and commercial on-site sewage facility coordination where there is no collection system to connect to.

W-100 · Waypoints

How it runs

  1. Stage 01 · No cost

    Understand the project

    We establish scope, jurisdiction, development status, approvals already completed, and the decisions still outstanding. You get a straight read on what the project is actually facing.

  2. Stage 02

    Map the path

    We identify the likely approvals, permitting dependencies, agency requirements, consultants needed, and the major project milestones, including the sequencing gates that determine what can be filed when.

  3. Stage 03

    Coordinate the team

    We manage communication and deliverables among ownership, consultants, contractors, utilities, and reviewing agencies, so responsibility for each next action is unambiguous.

  4. Stage 04 · Ongoing

    Manage the process

    We follow applications, reviews, comments, responses, resubmittals and approvals per department rather than per project, and escalate whichever review has stalled.

  5. Stage 05 · Through issuance

    Keep moving

    We maintain visibility into what is complete, what is outstanding, and what needs to happen next, through issuance and close-out.

Q-001 · Questions

On this service

When does the Edwards Aquifer add a step?

When the site sits over the Recharge Zone or the Contributing Zone. That triggers a TCEQ plan, either a WPAP or a CZP, reviewed by the state independently of the city's site development review. It is a schedule item worth identifying during due diligence, because it can control the critical path.

Does Pathway perform the environmental engineering?

No. The plans are prepared and sealed by the appropriately licensed professionals. Pathway coordinates their work with the agencies and keeps the local and state tracks aligned.
