Liability for Clean-Up

Owners and operators of storage facilities not covered by the regulations are still held accountable for the clean-up and damage caused by a release. A small leak can be expensive to clean-up, and a leak that reaches and contaminates a major water producing supply can result in staggering clean-up costs.

REGULATIONS

Regulations apply to underground tanks that hold 1,100 gallons or more of fuel. As a result, many farm storage tanks may not fall under these regulations. However, farmers operating these tanks should seriously consider replacing their existing underground tanks with modern tanks that include leak detection and corrosion protection.
