State Implements New Rules Aimed at Leaking Fuel Tanks

From therepublic.com -Water and gasoline do not mix and the state of New Mexico wants to keep it that way. The state has new rules governing the storage of petroleum fuel in hopes of preventing leaks that can contaminate ground water.  The Daily Times reports staffers at the New Mexico Environment Department will work with owners and operators to correct serious violations as soon as possible.

The state will red tag tanks, post a notice at the facility that it may not receive any delivery or deposit of fuel and list the facility on a delivery prohibition list on an environment department website if there's a failure to comply with rules.
