The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) a grant of more than $1.3 million to support underground storage tank programs.  The grant supports TCEQ’s underground storage tank program in detecting and preventing leaks and carrying out related enforcement activities. The program works to encourage storage tank owners and operators properly run and maintain their tanks and ensure they monitor tanks according to regulations to help prevent leaks of petroleum and hazardous substances.
