Abstract:
Unless recent legislation and pending rules curtail cleanup reimbursements, North Carolina’s Commercial Leaking Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund could face insolvency. A report on the fund provided to the General Assembly in March projected that, at the current rate of reimbursement, the fund will be depleted by September. This article discusses cleanup costs, legislation, and economic and environmental implications.
