North Texas Oil Spill Cleanup
If you experience an oil spill, call us. North Texas Spill Response will clean up your oil spill. Oil spills can be harmful to the health of the public as well as the environment. Therefore, considerable effort must be made in order to prevent oil spills from happening in the first place. If you own a gas station, oil refinery, a fuel trucking company, or any other business that deals in oil and gas, the EPA requires that you have a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) in place. The EPA says that any facility that “Stores, transfers, uses or consumes oil or oil products, such as diesel fuel, gasoline, lube oil, hydraulic oil, adjuvant oil, crop oil, vegetable oil, or animal fat…and stores more than 1320 U.S. gallons in above-ground containers, or more than 42,000 gallons in underground containers,” is required to prepare, implement, and update their own SPCC plan.
When You Need Oil Spill Cleanup
North Texas Spill Response specializes in cleaning up oil spills and fuel spills in Dallas and all of North Texas. With a properly implemented SPCC plan in place, your risk of having a spill is decreased immensely. However, oil spill accidents still occur on a regular basis here in Texas. Some fuel spills are caused by inattentive fuel dispenser operators, others by mechanical failure, and still, others happen as a result of a motor vehicle collision. When you experience an oil spill, ensure you consult your SPCC plan, but at the same time, you’ll want to have a competent hazardous materials cleanup company to provide you the industrial hazmat cleaning services you require.

What Can You Do To Prevent A Spill Emergency?
To prepare your business for a potential hazmat spill, it is crucial to develop a comprehensive spill response plan that addresses both prevention and effective response. Here are the key steps to ensure your business is ready:
1. Conduct a Risk Assessment
Begin by identifying the types of hazardous materials present at your facility and the potential risks associated with them. Consider factors such as the nature and form of the chemicals, quantities stored, and possible spill scenarios. This assessment will help you understand the specific hazards and prepare accordingly.
2. Categorize Spills
Differentiate between minor and major spills. Minor spills are typically small, manageable by trained staff, and pose minimal risk. Major spills, on the other hand, involve larger quantities or highly dangerous substances and require immediate professional intervention.
3. Develop a Spill Response Plan
Create a detailed spill response plan that includes:
Notification Procedures: Clearly outline who should be notified in the event of a spill, including internal response teams and external emergency services.
Isolation and Containment: Establish protocols to isolate the spill area, prevent the spread of contaminants, and protect personnel from exposure.
Cleanup Procedures: Define the steps for cleaning up different types of spills, including the use of appropriate absorbents, neutralizers, and disposal methods.
4. Equip Your Facility
Ensure your facility is equipped with the necessary spill response kits, which should include absorbents, neutralizing agents, personal protective equipment (PPE), and containment tools. Regularly inspect and maintain these kits to ensure they are ready for use.
5. Train Your Staff
Provide comprehensive training for all employees on spill response procedures, the use of PPE, and the proper handling of hazardous materials. Regular drills and refresher courses will help keep everyone prepared and confident in their ability to respond effectively.
6. Establish Reporting Requirements
Set clear guidelines for reporting spills, including who to contact and the information that needs to be provided. This ensures a swift and coordinated response, minimizing the impact of the spill.
7. Review and Update Regularly
Regularly review and update your spill response plan to incorporate new hazards, changes in operations, and lessons learned from past incidents. Continuous improvement is key to maintaining an effective spill response strategy.
By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk and impact of hazardous material spills, ensuring the safety of your employees, the environment, and your business operations.

North Texas Spill Cleanup
Environmental Service Company
Petroleum production is the main driver of our economy. We use refined petroleum to fuel our cars, heat our homes, and operate our factories. Fossil fuel production in the United States is what has enabled us to gain energy independence. And, now that there are more uses for petroleum-based products, the production, and transportation of these products have skyrocketed. There are more hazardous materials being transported on Texas roadways than ever before. And, while the transportation of fuel and oil to areas where it is needed is great for our state, the chances of an oil spill occurring has increased immensely.
With an increase in oil spills your company cannot simply rely on an inexperienced environmental service company to guide you during emergency spill situations. You need a reliable hazmat clean up service to provide you with the timely oil spill remediation clean up in a professional and experienced manner. Trust North Texas Spill Response to guide you through the regulation confusion, to ensure your business can thrive after a spill has happened.
Planning Your Response To An Oil Spill
To protect your employees and the environment during an oil spill, having a trusted HazMat Emergency Contractor, a company that knows what’s required during and after a spill has occurred, is vitally important. And, to ensure that you are not left wanting when a spill happens, you need to have a spill plan in place prior to any HazMat emergency. And, as part of an effective spill plan, you should consider consulting and retaining a professional emergency spill response contractor. We suggest that you call North Texas Spill Response and set up arrangements for us to respond when your company does an oil spill, or fuel spill loss.

Your Business May Be At Risk
The risk of a HazMat emergency when it comes to petroleum is highest during transit. When released from containment, an oil spill at an accident scene can become quite chaotic. And, to the uninformed, the correct remediation procedures are not known. Unfortunately, most companies do not have a plan put in place to deal with hazardous material cleanup, and can, therefore, become dependent on unscrupulous, fly-by-night environmental service companies. Many of these such companies do not provide proper remediation or reporting for the businesses they serve, leaving those companies at a risk for more loss and scrutiny by the regulative authorities such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Choosing the wrong environmental service contractor can not only cost you more headaches, time, and money, but it could actually cause you to lose your business entirely. Don’t take the risk, contact North Texas Spill Response today to learn how we can be an integral part of your spill containment and remediation plan.
