State Managed Cleanup Program
The Site Remediation Section utilizes the Oil & Gas Regulation and Cleanup (OGRC) funds in coordination with the Railroad Commission of Texas District Offices to clean up pollution of abandoned oil and gas sites.
Funding for the program comes from regulatory fees, permit fees and bond fees paid by the Oil and Gas industry.
An abandoned site becomes a candidate for state cleanup when the responsible party fails or refuses to take action or is unknown, deceased or bankrupt. Cleanup prioritization is based on public health, safety and the protection of the environment.
Questions about the Commission's State Managed Cleanup Program should be directed to the Site Remediation Section, to the Commission District office in which the site of interest is located, or by calling 512-463-6765.
