Office. Oil companies have a manual on file for clean-up that has been approved by the Department. Persons having problems with health or property through air or other, would be under the EPA. What is the state or county plan for a hazardous spill out on the Interstate Highway?

In Texas, the EPA has backed off of the cleaning up after the 2005 hurricanes. Rick Perry wanted the EPA to leave Texas; they are leaving it alone. More privatization, less clean up, less clean water and clean air.
