Leaking Fuel Tanks Threaten Water Supplies

HenryHanflik | 16 August, 2008 09:09

Hundreds of Cold War-era fuel tanks overseen by the Federal Emergency Management Agency may be leaking hazardous materials into local drinking supplies. According to reports, FEMA has known about potential leaks in as many as 150 tanks since the 1990s but has reported no harm to communities where the tanks are located. However, the FEMA tanks are part of a larger national problem affecting as many as 500,000 tanks owned privately or by local, state and federal agencies, an environmental consulting company spokesman said.
