LPST sites in Midland County

The Commission has recorded 203 leaking petroleum storage tank cases in Midland County — 0.7% of the Texas total — and 15 of them have no closure date.

The open cases

15 of the 203 cases in Midland County are still open — 7.4%. The oldest of them was reported in 1988, and 9 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 Midland County the pattern follows the state’s:

Tanks still in the ground in Midland County

The Commission’s other file — delivery certificates — records 312 storage tanks in Midland County, of which 312 are marked in use. 127 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.
