Bill inspired by South Portland fuel tank emissions earns committee’s endorsement The bill would require installation of monitoring stations near tanks and the collection of emissions caused while loading fuel into tanker trucks. Share Petroleum tank farms in Maine would have to continuously monitor emissions and take other steps to reduce off-gassing from aboveground tanks under a bill that received a committee endorsement on Monday. The bill is a response to concerns in South Portland about noxious odors and air pollution emanating from massive tanks located along the city’s waterfront in close proximity to schools, residential neighborhoods and businesses. Although those concerns date back decades, momentum has built since 2019 to tighten monitoring and reporting of emissions from petroleum tanks amid a high-profile dispute between state and federal regulators over emissions levels.
