Abstract

Major categories of underground tanks are widely used in commerce and industry. Corrosion and other causes contribute to leaks and system failures. The February 1986 of Pollution Engineering, a Special Report: 'Underground Storage Tank Control,' discussed problems associated with tanks in the underground environment. This update report continues coverage on what is a critical source of groundwater contamination. Among the greatest hazards posed by underground leaking tanks are that they occur without warning. Inventory status needs to be constantly assessed or a leak can go undetected while hundreds or even thousands of gallons seep into the environment. Leaks can be detected as soon as they occur. Underground tanks are additionally covered by an emerging body of regulations being implemented at federal and state levels. Objectives of these regulations are to reduce threats to groundwater supplies and minimize hazards posed by leaking underground storage tanks (LUST).
