Who Is Responsible for Spills?
Did you know your business is liable for accidents in which hazardous materials are released? Whether it is a tanker hauling oil or a rooftop generator spraying fuel from a ruptured fuel line, business owners ultimately are responsible for cleaning up the mess.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality oversees all accidents involving hazardous materials. According to the TCEQ’s guidelines, the party responsible for cleaning up spills is:
The owner or operator of a facility where a spill has occurred;
The owner, operator, or demise charterer of a vessel where a spill occurred; or
Other persons who directly caused or permitted a spill or discharge of hazardous materials into the environment.
Responsible parties are required to notify the TCEQ as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours, after a spill that falls within the Reportable Quantities guidelines happens. Failure to report such incidents can result in administrative, civil, and criminal penalties. Our team can work with your business to determine if the spill falls within the guidelines to ensure the proper authorities are notified.
