State Managed Cleanup Program

The Site Remediation Section utilizes the State Managed Cleanup Fund in coordination  with the RRC 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 RRC State Managed Cleanup Program should be directed to the Site Remediation Section or (512) 463-6765 or the Railroad Commission District Office which the site of interest is located.
