Abstract

This study was undertaken to address the removal and closure of defective petroleum underground storage tanks in Kentucky:

• To address standards for levels of contamination requiring corrective action consistent with accepted scientific and technical principles.
• To recommend a matrix or scoring system to be used for (a) ranking sites as to actual or potential harm to human health and the environment caused by a release of petroleum from a petroleum storage tank, and (b) establishing standards and procedures for corrective action that shall adequately protect human health and the environment.
• To address all compounds individually and collectively known as petroleum.
• To produce a report that shall be scientifically defensible.
