Excerpt from Safe Aboveground Storage Tanks: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Transportation and Hazardous Materials of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session; September 14, 1994
American Petroleum Institute standards. And whether you have a large tank or a small tank, a marketing tank, a refinery tank, there is a possibility that there will be a leak. It only makes sense that the tank owners prevent those leaks before they occur.
Senator Robb is the chief sponsor of the bill in the Senate. The gao will be reporting to the Congress on the number and types of aboveground storage tanks across the country. While the epa is working to ascertain this information, it is important that we im mediately find answers to these questions and develop policies to prevent these damaging leaks into the environment.
So, in summary, there is no question that aboveground tank leaks are clearly pervasive across the country, and they are ongo ing as we speak.
I am anxious to work with the committee and the epa and the regulated industries to address the current deficiencies in Federal law and, hopefully, to use hr. 1360 to fill some of these gaps. And so, in so doing, Congress can address one of the last remaining loopholes in Federal environmental law.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contributes to the national conversation on environmental regulatory reform by investigating the long overdue issue of aboveground storage tank regulation in the United States. Aboveground storage tanks, largely unregulated at the federal level despite the risks they pose, can result in devastating environmental incidents on par with the Exxon Valdez spill when they leak. The author, a member of Congress, compiles expert testimony from industry leaders, environmentalists, scientists, and government regulators to trace the history of aboveground storage tank regulation. This book is essential reading for understanding the history of environmental policy in the United States and provides an incisive look at the political, social, and economic dynamics that have prevented strong federal action on this issue.
