I don't really post much to this group.
But my best friend died from contaminated ground water, so I think it is
wise to side with the people forcing this issue.

I am not a hard core "greenie" but I feel like we have to cover our
asses within reason. 15 years ago living in Ohio, the OEPA made
everyone pull up and replace gasoline tanks. Lots of mom & pop gas
stations whined about it and said "it's just the damn gubment" doing
stupid things. Well I'm pretty sure every one of those tanks was
leaking to some degree and I'm glad the state forced the issue.
Now I live in North Carolina, where things are not policed as closely.
A "mom & pop" gas station just recently had a tank failure that polluted
wells within over a 2 FUCKING MILE radius. The city (Hendersonville,
NC) spent a couple million running water lines to affected homes,
because the gasoline in the ground water won't likely clean up for decades.
