Dallas County, reported in the 2000s

326 of the 3,067 LPST cases in Dallas County — 10.6% — were reported during the 2000s.

How this group compares

Dallas County holds 10.7% of the 3,061 Texas cases reported in the 2000s, while holding 10.3% of all Texas cases — so it is over-represented in this decade.

The 2000s were after the deadline, with the worst of the old tanks already gone.

6 of the 326 cases from this decade in Dallas County are still open — 1.8%. The oldest of them was reported in 2002, and 0 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.
