Creek and river ecosystem
Downstream water users
General public relying on the major river
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Subject
Public safety and environmental welfare threatened by potential fuel contamination of the creek and major river
Terminated by
Not terminated — risk persists
Triggering event
Engineer R's identification of the combined risk factors: historical fill, tank proximity, statistical leak rates, and creek discharge to major river
Urgency level
high
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer R testifies as a member of the public about concerns with fill material and its characteristics, potential of underground tanks to leak, and the proximity of tanks to the creek
Text references
6% of the underground tanks installed in the previous 5 years experienced a reportable leak or spill
Engineer R testifies as a member of the public about concerns with fill material and its characteristics, potential of underground tanks to leak, and the proximity of tanks to the creek
the proposed truck stop is quite close to the location where the creek discharges into a major river in the state
