                       74th Regular Session

                          April 17, 1995



 TO:     Honorable David Counts, Chair          IN RE:  House Bill No. 3032
         Committee on Natural Resources                 By: Alexander
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
3032 (Relating to the regulation of petroleum storage tanks.)
this office has determined the following:

The bill would require the use of risk-based technologies in the
evaluation of corrective action plans for the remediation of
storage tanks that may pollute water resources.  The use of risk-
based technologies is expected to reduce average clean-up costs
at leaking tank sites. The potential savings, however, cannot be
determined.


The fiscal implication to  the State cannot be determined.

No fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
