Relating to imposition of application fees for certain permits and permit amendments for the disposal of oil and gas waste.

HB 3158 sets new application fees for permits related to oil and gas waste disposal in Texas. It requires $200 for fluid injection well permits and $500 for landfarm, landtreatment, or land application permits (or amendments). Commercial facilities face higher fees: $2,000 for new waste separation permits, $3,000 for commercial surface waste facilities, and $1,000 for amendments. These fees apply only to applications filed on or after September 1, 2025, affecting businesses seeking these specific waste disposal permits. The bill does not change waste disposal rules, only the application fees.
