No Weakened Inspections for Tanks Near Drinking Water Intakes
A bill rolling back protections in the 2014 Aboveground Storage Tank Act, HB 2598, has passed the House of Delegates and is headed to the Senate. Read an article in the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
Thanks to your advocacy, the committee substitute that passed the House is an improvement over the original bill which aimed to completely exempt oil & gas from all requirements of the Aboveground Storage Tank Act. Read our fact sheet.
However, the amended bill weakens inspection requirements for tanks located in “zones of critical concern”, which are the areas closest to and directly upstream of public drinking water intakes.
