If you plan to release discharges resulting from the hydrostatic
testing of vessels (pipelines, tanks, and other containers) into water in the
state you must have a permit. You may qualify for coverage
under general permit
TXG670000. The following discharges are authorized from new and
existing vessels under this general permit.
-
vessels previously containing and/or transferring raw or potable
water, where the water used for hydrostatic tests does not contain
corrosion inhibitors, antifreeze compounds, biocides, or other
chemical additives (except chlorine)
-
existing vessels that formerly contained only elemental gases
(e.g. hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.)
-
existing vessels previously containing product or waste related
to refined petroleum products
Please feel free to contact us if you have
questions.
