Court Shuts Down Paducah Gas Stations

{Kentucky}...A Franklin County Circuit Court order has shut down six gas stations in Paducah because of underground storage tank violations. The Kentucky Division of Waste Management says the six stations owned by Superway Inc. had gas pumps locked by state officials on Thursday. Superway president Tim Masoud says the shutdown is a misunderstanding and he plans to have the problems remedied as soon as possible. The statement says the company did not comply with requirements on tank tightness testing and release monitoring. Superway has 60 days to fix the problems.
