Quite interesting. I would imagine just because of the fact that gas stations are so common & plentiful, they're going to be one of the more common items on that cleanup list.
That, and they're probably fairly easy targets for audits vs. the average co. given the nature of their business (Joe Blow could leak oil into the water for awhile without getting caught, a gas station probably has frequent checks). As for the burden on the tax payer: I don't think any of those are cleanups, just simply gas stations fixing underground leaking tanks. They all appear to be "Leaking Underground Tank (LUST)" cases.
The health burden is upon us all though.
