Jefferson County, reported in the 1980s

132 of the 619 LPST cases in Jefferson County — 21.3% — were reported during the 1980s.

How this group compares

Jefferson County holds 3.7% of the 3,615 Texas cases reported in the 1980s, while holding 2.1% of all Texas cases — so it is over-represented in this decade.

The 1980s were the years before the federal upgrade deadline, when most tanks were bare steel and leaks were found by accident.

None of the 132 cases from this decade in Jefferson County is still open: the Commission has recorded a closure date for every one of them.
