Question 1

Which agencies oversee Phase I ESAs in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Phase I ESAs in Texas are read against Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ); Railroad Commission of Texas (oil and gas); TCEQ regional offices / municipal utility districts, on top of ASTM E1527 and 40 CFR 312 All Appropriate Inquiries.

Question 2

What standards and state overlays apply to Phase I ESAs in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Key standards and overlays include ASTM E1527 / 40 CFR 312 AAI, Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP), Innocent Owner / Operator Program (IOP), Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) and Innocent Owner certificates. ASTM E1527 / 40 CFR 312 AAI and Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP) are the usual reason a national database pass is not enough.

Question 3

What site settings commonly produce RECs in Texas?

Common REC settings in Texas include Oil and gas production / midstream, Dry cleaners, UST corridors and truck stops, Petrochemical and ports, RRC orphan wells and pits. State cleanup lists and tank programs often contradict a 'closed' national listing.
