When Tyree had a huge spill in the Whiteaker that contaminated the Willamette River, the press said that fuel storage facilities were required to have containment that would catch all of the fluid in their largest container should it rupture. Tyree didn't have this, but DEQ only gave them a tiny fine (smaller than the value of the fuel lost into the river).

It's time to make the fines large enough to compel compliance and add criminal charges for the executives and owners of the companies who cut corners by not having containment. Perhaps we should consider banning such people from doing business with hazardous substances if the violate such basic regulations.
