Underground Storage Tank / Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program...

The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes recently were awarded an $100,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish and enhance a Underground Storage Tank/Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program.

According to Rich Janssen, Division Manager of Environmental Protection for the Tribes the grant will allow CSKT to determine the amount, types, and locations of all Underground Storage Tanks within the exterior boundaries of the reservation. The funding will also to educate the owners of underground storage tanks and aid them in compliance issues in regards to the regulatory authority of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“This is the first year of our underground storage tank/leaking underground storage tank which has the potential to be funded long term,” said Janssen. “It will address the issue of leaking underground storage tanks so we can continue to protect the environment for the health and well being of all reservation residents.”
