Description

Indiana’s launching a bold cleanup effort to eliminate aging, leak-prone underground gas tanks—potentially contaminating groundwater for decades. With a $20 million annual state fund (funded by a tiny fuel tax), Indiana is uniquely rewarding tank owners by paying them back to remove or replace these costly, dangerous tanks—unlike most states that offer loans or grants. Already, over 500 tanks have been taken out or sealed, with nearly 4,000 registered across the state. This proactive move protects public health, safeguards water supplies, and prevents future environmental disasters—all while easing the financial burden on taxpayers and local governments.
