LAS VEGAS (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency has announced that Nevada will get more than $1.2 million in federal stimulus funds to assess and clean up underground storage tank petroleum leaks.
Leaking underground tanks can release petroleum or other hazardous substances into the soil and can contaminate groundwater, the source of drinking water for nearly one-third of all Americans.
The money announced Thursday is part of $197 million in stimulus funds going to sites across the U.S. that are contaminated by petroleum from leaking underground storage tanks.
The EPA regional underground storage tank program is entering into an agreement with the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection for the project.
