Water Contamination
Water contamination can result from petroleum leaks, chemical spills and even waste water run. Regardless of its origin, hazardous waste of any kind within our water systems is a detriment to vital ecosystems. If you suspect contamination from a storage tank on your propery, it’s important to contact an environmental consultant to avoid fines and keep waterways clean. Georgia Oilmen’s Services supervises the installation of monitoring wells to collect samples for analysis and provides additional environmental remediation if necessary.
Background
In the early 1980’s, the federal government began implementing programs to regulate underground storage tanks (USTs) containing petroleum and other hazardous materials. UST programs are designed to prevent harmful leaks and spills from contaminating groundwater, a main source of drinking water for the United States. Most USTs constructed prior to the 1980s were made of a single wall of steel, making eventual corrosion and leaks unavoidable.
