OSTI ID:5599125
Leaking underground petroleum-storage tanks represent an increasing threat to the quality of Virginia's groundwater. Along with septic systems and surface impoundments, underground storage tanks are listed as major sources of groundwater contamination in the state, and the number of complaints of groundwater contaminated by petroleum has risen more than sevenfold since fiscal year 1979, according to figures compiled by the Virginia State Water Control Board (SWCB). Particular areas of concern include limestone areas such as the Shenandoah Valley, where groundwater flow is sometimes in the feet-per-hour range, and the Coastal Plain where pollution of shallow aquifers also can spread quickly.
