HISTORY

The United States possesses the world's most sophisticated system of spill prevention, response and restoration capabilities. This system — a working partnership between public agencies and private industry — has grown from a shared commitment to learn from the mistakes of the past and ensure the safe and efficient delivery of petroleum products to you, the consumer.
