Legal: Gas station chain agrees to pay penalty, upgrade tanks

摘要

The operators of 23 gas stations in Nebraska and Iowa will pay a $16,448 penalty and make $133,000 in improvements to upgrade systems to detect and report fuel leaks under an agreement with the U.S. EPA, the federal agency said. TFL Inc., also known as Mega Saver and Tobacco and Phones 4 Less, agreed to the measures after a 2016 inspection by the EPA allegedly revealed that the company failed to conduct required inspections or keep records of leak detection equipment on underground storage tanks at nine stations, according to an EPA announcement.
