I want to add that the underground storage tank program at EPA has enjoyed a wide measure of success. It is both comprehensive and understandable. Certainly, the regulation of above-ground petroleum tanks warrants similar consideration. Also, EPA has established an effective response program to surface water oil-spills. EPA should now place a focus on improving the safety of AST operations and on leaks to ground water. This could only bolster EPA's spill prevention and response program.
