Abstract:
In October, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission approved a temporary rule that requires owners or operators of leaking underground storage tanks to show through risk assessments that the leaks pose a threat to human health or the environment to be eligible to receive reimbursement for cleanup from the state’s Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. This article discusses the rule and earlier efforts of the trust fund.
