Spilled oil still a problem in New Orleans
July 19, 2006

The EPA is trying to figure out how much damage was done by oil spilled when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. While catastrophes like Katrina are fortunately rare, they highlight the need for secondary containment using geomembranes at all sites that routinely manage petroleum or other chemicals. Even seemingly minor spills can lead to big fines from the EPA.
