In connection with the abondonment of any underground storage

health or safety of persons, or safety or value of property. In case the
operator shall fail to put the premises in a satisfactory condition
prior to any such abondonment or immediately upon revocation of a

to place the premises in satisfactory condition and the operator shall
be liable for the cost.
