LPST sites in Anderson County
The Commission has recorded 76 leaking petroleum storage tank cases in Anderson County — 0.3% of the Texas total — and 5 of them have no closure date.
The open cases
5 of the 76 cases in Anderson County are still open — 6.6%. The oldest of them was reported in 1989, and 4 were reported in 2015 or later.
That spread matters more than the count. An open case from the 1990s usually means a long remediation that was never formally closed; one from last year means something recent. The file records the two dates and nothing else — not the substance, not the extent, not what is left to do. How to read an open case.
When they were reported
A reporting date is not the date a tank started leaking — it is the date someone found out. In Anderson County the pattern follows the state’s:
Tanks still in the ground in Anderson County
The Commission’s other file — delivery certificates — records 106 storage tanks in Anderson County, of which 106 are marked in use. 42 of them sit at a facility that also has a leak case on record.
That last number appears in neither file: it only exists once the two are joined on the facility number, which is what this site does. What the tank register holds.
