Underground storage tank corrective action technologies
Several factors influence the decision maker's selection of a path of corrective action for dealing with a leaking underground storage tank (UST). This book provides information to assist in the scientific and technical direction of the response efforts. It probes general background information on UST construction techniques, leak detection methods, and failure mechanisms. It also addresses transport pathways of released substances, techniques for evaluating the extent of a release, factors influencing risk to human health and the environment, techniques for selecting initial corrective-action response technologies, and detailed technical profiles of corrective-action technologies. Emphasis is on corrective actions associated with releases from gasoline and petroleum USTs; however, profiles are also provided for technologies used in response to chemical releases.
