The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) mandates that entities operating underground storage tanks (USTs) conduct annual walkthrough inspections as a part of their compliance obligations. These inspections are essential for ensuring that USTs are maintained properly, that potential issues are identified early, and that the facility is compliant with environmental regulations

The TCEQ annual walkthrough inspection is a vital responsibility for operators of underground storage tanks to ensure compliance and environmental protection. By systematically reviewing UST systems, operators can address potential issues proactively, maintain the integrity of their equipment, and protect health and safety. Proper documentation of the inspection process is also critical both for compliance purposes and for continual improvement in operational practices. For detailed guidance and specific requirements, it is recommended to consult the TCEQ's official guidelines or work with professionals experienced in environmental compliance.
