U.S. Army Underground Storage Tank Corrosion Study

1991 study at Construction Engineering Research Labs (Urbana-Champaign) of 108 leaking tanks; soil aggressiveness index and leak times from 6 to 40 years.

Now in soils — you don't have a lot of soils in the Navy, but nonetheless soil is important. The Army has 15,000 underground storage tanks, at least when they did the study in 1991, for fuel and all kinds of other things. The Navy has them on their bases too, but the Army owns more than the Navy. So they did a big study at the Construction Engineering Research Labs out in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois.
