Over 500 Texas oil tanks in flood-prone areas risk catastrophic spills during extreme floods, worsened by climate change and lack of regulations.
An Inside Climate News investigation reveals that over 500 oil tanks in Texas’s Guadalupe River floodplain, part of the Eagle Ford Shale region, face severe risk during extreme floods, with up to 22 tank batteries potentially submerged under 20 feet of water.
The findings, based on satellite data and FEMA flood models, show that a repeat of the 1998 flood could trigger spills that contaminate land and water for generations.
Climate change is increasing flood intensity, and without state-wide floodplain regulations, oil infrastructure remains vulnerable.
