The past decade has seen a proliferation of sophisticated release detection systems for both underground and aboveground storage tanks. But leak detection alone will not ensure against contamination. The storage tank owner who has to spend $100,000 or more to clean up contaminated soil - and much more if groundwater becomes tainted - could have avoided real headaches by investing in sound secondary containment in addition to leak detection. Combined with release detection devices, secondary containment provides the best insurance for UST owners through containment of the primary tank and its piping. We call this a great marriage between two technologies - and EPA agrees.
