The Wise Report

As you will recall, the last Texas legislative session passed HB 3554, whick requires the implementation of Risk-Based Corrective Action for all leaking petroleum storage tank (LPST) releases. The TCEQ has determined that it already meets the risk-based corrective action legislative requirements of House Bill 3554. Therefore, all LPST releases reported through August 31, 2003 continue to be subject to all parts of 30 TAC 334 (the PST rules), and all releases reported on or after September 1, 2003 must meet the assessment, response actions, and post-response action care requirements of 30 TAC 350 (the Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP) rules). In otherwords, nothing has changed.
