Texas LPST Petroleum Storage Tanks Case Status Investigation Checklist

It is important to investigate leaking storage tanks on a case-by-case basis and fix any faulty equipment by taking corrective action promptly. The Texas LPST Petroleum Storage Tanks Case Status Investigation Checklist app offers interview questions for the investigation that takes place for leaking storage tanks. The app can be used to record the answers, notes, and citations issued for safety violations. Investigators can store the name and phone number of the person being interviewed within the app, as well as the site information relevant to the investigation, for their records. Operators of facilities with petroleum storage tanks such as underground storage tanks, aboveground storage tanks, and other tanks for storing petroleum products, such as heating oil tanks, can benefit greatly from the use of this app through ensuring compliance with the Texas DEQ. Ultimately, preventing any leaks is the primary goal, but in the event of a leak, taking corrective action on site to address any petroleum contamination or leaks by the site operator through aggressive and diligent cleanup operations and corrective action is key to reducing liability to responsible parties. Additionally, quick clean-up is critical for protecting the surrounding environment by limiting the discharge of hazardous substances into the nearby drinking water, groundwater, and the rest of the area surrounding the spill or leak site. Different storage tank types may require different actions - for example, leaking underground storage tanks may discharge directly into a groundwater supply and be more difficult to detect and cleanup than above-ground storage tanks from which leak detection can often be done visually.
