Nueces County, reported in the 1980s

110 of the 753 LPST cases in Nueces County — 14.6% — were reported during the 1980s.

How this group compares

Nueces County holds 3.0% of the 3,615 Texas cases reported in the 1980s, while holding 2.5% 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 110 cases from this decade in Nueces County is still open: the Commission has recorded a closure date for every one of them.
