Do you not consider contaminating a city's water supply catastrophic
- ars 3y agoNo, because that's not something that actually happens due to underground storage. The leaks are local, and cause minimal long term harm. They are not "contaminating a city's water supply", that's simply not true.
- atshane253 3y agoIts absolutely true, one of my city's primary aquifers is directly under ground. Future underground tanks will not be permitted because they've been leaking into the groundwater, especially if and when they're abandoned because the business failed.
- kortilla 3y agoSo make failed businesses empty their fuel tanks? Seems like a dumb reason to regulate tanks for active businesses.
- smileysteve 3y agoFailed businesses don't often fail because they executed things perfectly. When you bankruptcy and shut down, you don't necessarily sell property immediately.
- semicolon_storm 3y agoThat’s demonstrably false. Google the red hill fuel tanks
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoA truck slamming into an above-ground tank could easily contaminate a city's water supply, so I'm not sure you've got a valid argument here.
