Self-Management at Gas Stations to Prevent Groundwater Pollution

摘要

On 18 December 2002 the EPA promulgated the Regulations Gov erning the Installation of Groundwater Pollution Prevention Facilities and Monitoring Equipment to strengthen management of underground storage tank systems and prevent leakage of hazardous substances. In order to ensure more effective source management, the EPA has integrated substantial measures and drafted standard operating procedures for necessary mechanisms and monitoring work in the Regulations Governing the Installation of Groundwater Pollution Prevention Facilities and Monitoring Equipment at Gas promulgated on 4 July 2006. This revision is expected to effectively reduce the occurrence of pollution by inducing gas stations to incorporate pollution prevention concepts into regular self-management practices.
