Yes, they pulled this "leaking tank" scam in California about 20 years ago.

From pushback.com: "You must remember the massive fraud on the public that was recently disclosed when the State Senate finally ordered a scientific review of the so-called leaking underground fuel tank threat by University of California scientists. The activities of ...the State Water Quality Control Board (SWQCB), have guaranteed that the big oil companies would have a monopoly in California and that prices would soar because it, SWQCB, systematically wiped out—bankrupted—most of the small service stations in California by claiming that leaking underground fuel tanks were contaminating our water supplies.... However, scientists at the University of California in a published report recently confirmed that not even one percent of this purported threat to ground water ever existed. Our Legislature waited twelve years to learn the truth. By that time, several billion dollars had been wasted, thousands of small businesses and service stations bankrupted, and over a hundred fifty thousand jobs wiped out for the wage-earners who found employment businesses."

Yes this is one of the most costly scams perpetrated by the EPA on an unsuspecting public.

Also you couldn’t find a gas station for miles and miles.

Does it say why they did that? Why would the SWQCB WANT a monopoly?
