I am fervently against overregulation and watch with keen interest the unfolding debate occurring on Capitol Hill over the amendment to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for example. But the improved safety, clean air, clean water, and cost savings realized from the CAA and RCRA programs are four major returns on investment that come back to a manufacturer from the investment in a good leak-detection program. Whether monitoring and repairing leaks above ground, in accordance with the CAA, or below ground, in accordance with the RCRA, it is, simply put, just good business. As alluded to at the outset of this article, leaks in hazardous-fluid-service piping systems have served, in many cases, as an early-warning indicator of something much worse to come. At the very least, such leaks can contribute to air pollution, groundwater contamination, lost product revenue, housekeeping costs, and a risk to personnel - a few things we can all live without.
