State pours $21M into removal of aging, leaking petroleum tanks

Indiana is investing $21 million to tackle the problem of hazardous, aging underground petroleum tanks that are leaking and failing. Over 500 tanks have already been removed or secured, but hundreds more remain a concern due to the risk of environmental contamination and safety hazards. This initiative underscores the state's commitment to environmental protection and public safety, addressing a long-standing issue that has significant implications for both the ecosystem and community health.
