NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - The U.S. Navy has agreed to pay $5,855 for not following storage tank testing requirements.
The settlement involves three 25,000-gallon underground storage tanks (UST) at a facility located at 7918 Blandy St. in Norfolk.
Each UST is required to be tested every three years to make sure it is not corroded and to prevent leaks. During a March 2011 inspection, inspectors discovered these tanks were last tested in 2004.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the Navy settlement Thursday.
