A South Carolina environmental contractor is jailed for falsifying storage tank tests.

"Adams and his employees printed false graphs for improper UST tests, or tests that were not performed. Many of the false tests became known as driveway tests, because employees would generate the tests on a computer in their own driveways, without ever testing the UST facilities. Adams was the former president and owner of Carolina Upgrading of South Carolina, Inc., a South Carolina environmental contracting business providing testing services for owners and operators of underground storage tanks (USTs)."
