Crompco Employee Ed Kubinsky featured
in the PEI Journal
Crompco employee Ed Kubinsky was recently a featured guest author, writing an editorial for the fourth quarter 2008 PEI Journal. His
article is titled, "Underground Storage Tank Regulatory Changes." Here is an excerpt from the article:
"How many of us would purchase a new service truck for our fleet and never get the oil changed? How many of us would purchase a house
and never perform any routine maintenance to protect our investment? There are things that need to be done to maintain these investments
to make them last. A person cannot expect to purchase a car or a home and expect things to remain in like-new condition forever without some work.
Then why would anyone expect an owner of a fuel dispensing facility to purchase and install equipment designed to protect his/her investment and
never periodically verify that the equipment is functioning as designed, especially when so much is at stake if that equipment is faulty, fails or malfunctions?
UST equipment that fails to perform as designed can cause human health issues, environmental disasters, significant cleanup costs and, with the
cost of fuel and slim margins these days, lost profits due to fuel that is released from the system. Nothing lasts forever. The idea of 'install it
and forget about it' is not a realistic concept."
