Leaky Installations in Arizona: The E.P.A. Pitches In
It looks like there's a problem with LUST in Arizona. Not the kind of “lust” associated with politicians under fire from the media investigating affairs that may have impacted state budgets. This LUST is an industrial problem. Why? Here, LUST stands for “leaking underground storage tanks.”
A recent July 10 article in the Phoenix New Times online indicates that the US federal Environmental Protection Agency has released over $3 million to help the state manage these kinds of chemical leaks. That adds up to a lot of liability, not just for homeowners whose water supplies may be compromised, but also for all of those people who work near these installations or help to clean up the results.
A startling visual in this article illustrates just how many Arizona facilities include leaking underground storage tanks and what that may mean for the cash-strapped state. Reports indicate that the state’s budget may be unable to handle the costs of dealing with these decaying installations, even with the E.P.A. donation.
What does this mean for all of the public safety or construction workers who may be exposed to the fallout from one of these underground storage facilities that is leaking chemicals, sometimes-caustic ones? That's what skilled Phoenix construction accident lawyers may have to help find out when a worker reports exposure to dangerous chemicals because of LUST. When this kind of incident occurs, workers rarely know how to deal with it on their own. When they have access to legitimate professional Arizona construction injury lawyers, they report their situations and allow legal professionals to get to work doing the necessary fact-finding to figure out who and what is responsible for a chemical situation that is out of control.
