when this floor applies

Oil listed in 49 CFR 172.101 requires $1,000,000 BI&PD. Hazardous substances in bulk (cargo tanks, portable tanks, hoppers, and the other 387.9 bulk descriptions) require $5,000,000. Non-HM bulk property can still be $750,000. Match the commodity, not the Gulf.

desk questions for this state

What is the product, UN/NA if any, and which 387.9 row applies?
Does L&I show the matching BI&PD amount with no pending cancellation before pickup?
What tank spec and last inspection does this plant require?
Prior cargo and wash ticket if the product needs a clean tank?
If HM: PHMSA registration and HMSP when required?

stop and do not cover

Using $750,000 on bulk HM or listed oil.
Wrong tank spec for the plant.
No wash/prior-cargo record when the shipper requires it.
L&I inactive or identity mismatch.

read the table, not the gulf

A Lake Charles tank photo is not the 387.9 row. Confirm form type and amount on L&I the day of cover.

Plant-approved carrier lists are access control. They are not a substitute for Active authority.

spec, wash, and prior cargo

Tank spec (406, 407, 412, food-grade, pneumatic) and last inspection are operational. They are not on the census snapshot. Ask the office, then the shipper’s required spec.

Food-grade and chemical switches need wash tickets and prior-cargo records. Skipping that because “they run the river” is how you contaminate a load.

if it is hm, run the hazmat file

PHMSA registration and, when required, an HM Safety Permit still apply. Louisiana plant TWIC and site rules sit on top. Identity: census phone, legal name, rate con. Do not stitch a broker docket to a tank operator’s DOT.
