Abstract:
In North Carolina, regulation and compliance of underground storage tanks is the responsibility of the Underground Storage Tanks Section of the North Carolina Division of Waste Management. About two-thousand tanks are temporarily closed because they have not been fully upgraded to meet the regulations. Because these tanks are privately owned, currently, the main goal of the Division is to identify the responsible parties and have the tanks permanently closed or upgraded.
