Some area companies that clean up the environment say the fund that pays them - is drying up. The Virginia Petroleum Storage Tank Fund has seen a 20-MILLION-dollar shortage ... so the state is falling FAR behind in reimbursing environmental contractors who clean up leaking petroleum. Andrew Alden says the state owes a MILLION dollars to his company - Environmental Engineering of Blacksburg. The state hopes to repair the funding shortage... by possibly increasing the deductible on claims to 10-THOUSAND dollars. But some contractors fear that would discourage people from cleaning up leaky tanks.
