The government keeps paying for routine underground tank leak prevention
What happened
A government agency awarded a contract to help prevent leaks from underground storage tanks. This means tank owners can continue to get technical assistance to meet environmental rules.
Why it matters
This contract ensures that some underground storage tank owners can get help preventing leaks. It's a small, ongoing expense to maintain existing environmental compliance. No new rules or technologies are involved, just the steady work of keeping old infrastructure from polluting.
The signal
Watch for any new federal mandates that would require all tank owners to use such services, or for a significant increase in funding for this type of assistance.
