In Tanks for Nothing: The Decades-Long Failure to Protect the Public from Hazardous Chemical Spills, the Center for Progressive Reform examines the legal and policy failures at EPA and in the states that have led to few protections from hazardous chemical spills and leaks and practically no information about where likely hundreds of thousands of these tanks are located, what they contain, and what measures are in place, if any, to prevent and mitigate tank spills, leaks, and other potentially catastrophic incidents. In the absence of federal rules, only ten states have enacted comprehensive regulatory programs for prevention of spills from aboveground storage tanks.
