Lone Star Hazmat Response

What Lone Star Hazmat Response does

Lone Star Hazmat Response is a private environmental services company that operates 24/7/365 emergency spill response, environmental remediation, and hazardous waste transportation across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas, and Arkansas from 15 strategically located rapid response centers. The company serves five B2B verticals — Transportation, Government, Insurance, Industrial, and Oil & Gas — providing field response, soil removal, hydrovac/jetting, confined space entry, drum and lab-pack waste handling, and regulatory spill reporting. Customers include trucking and logistics operators, municipalities, insurance carriers, manufacturers, and oil & gas producers, with flagship institutional accounts such as the Dallas-Fort Worth TxDOT contract (since 2017) and the University of Texas System (awarded October 2024). Operations are run by HAZWOPER-, DOT-, and OSHA-certified technicians using vacuum trucks, hydrovac units, quick response vehicles, heavy response trucks, and roll-off containers; a proprietary HAZGen 2:15 software platform provides live incident reporting and real-time image access to customers.

The business model combines professional-services billing for incident response and remediation projects with transaction-fee billing for waste volume transportation and used oil reclamation. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct field engagement, association referral channels (Texas Trucking Association, Oklahoma Trucking Association), and industry event sponsorships (CleanGulf). Pricing is quote-based, determined by incident scope, waste type, volume, and geography; no public pricing disclosure exists. The company was founded in 2016 by Richard Lenius and Michael Romines, acquired Southland Response in 2017 to seed the DFW region, and acquired ACE Rapid Response in September 2024; it is privately held with no disclosed external capital, incorporated as a Texas LLC, and led by founder/President Richard Lenius.
