EPA Administrator Christie Whitman recently announced the agency will provide $4 million in financial assistance to clean up contamination from leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) around the nation. The pilot project, called USTfields, involves abandoned or under-used industrial and commercial properties with perceived or actual contamination from petroleum that has leaked from underground storage tanks.
The agency expects to select up to 40 pilot projects to help states and cities clean up these properties and foster redevelopment by returning them to productive economic and public use.
