CHESAPEAKE -- After a two-million gallon fertilizer tank collapsed, flooding a neighborhood last September, every tank farm in Chesapeake was inspected.

Many of the tanks contain flammable material, such as gasoline.

Using the Freedom of Information Act, 13News obtained inspection reports from four of the eight tank farms.

A major oil spill at a Kinder Morgan terminal in Burnaby, B.C., has now been contained.

Fire and hazmat teams were called to the Burnaby Mountain facility after a contractor discovered a leak of almost 200,000 litres of crude oil seeping from one of the tanks around 10 p.m. Wednesday.

Company spokesperson Andrew Galarnyk told ctvbc.ca roughly 200 cubic metres -- about the equivalent of 1,200 barrels -- leaked from the container but has been completely contained by a tank liner.

So next time, the company in Charleston's Neck Area knew what it had to do.

San Diego city officials are worried that gasoline from Kinder Morgan's tank farm may be re-polluting the soil and water under the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot. The city wants regulators to require the company to clean up the source of the pollution -- a petroleum spill underneath tank farm north of the stadium. Without such a cleanup, the city fears its land and water will be unusable.
