The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality fined BP Products North America Inc. $869,150 for leaking underground storage tanks at eight of its former gasoline stations in Michigan. “The DEQ is currently monitoring over 200 former gasoline stations where BP has reported releases from underground tank systems. A study conducted by the DEQ in January 2006, found a noncompliance rate of approximately 60 percent and that 47, or 63 percent, of BP’s 74 highest risk sites have not complied with regulations in Michigan’s Leaking Underground Storage Tanks statutes.”
