Underground storage tanks (USTs) for petroleum and chemicals are still prevalent in many regional properties despite their historical use and associated risks. Due to their efficient, space-saving design, these tanks were commonly installed to store fuels, oils, and chemicals. However, over time, the integrity of these tanks can deteriorate, leading to potential leaks and environmental contamination. Many properties, especially those with older infrastructure or previous industrial use, may still have these tanks. Proper management and regular inspections are crucial to prevent leaks and mitigate risks, protecting the environment and public health from contamination.

Under EPA regulations, all owners of underground storage tanks (USTs) must ensure compliance with stringent standards designed to protect the environment and public health. These regulations encompass a range of requirements, including tank registration, leak detection system implementation, and spill and leak reporting.

Tank owners must also address any contamination incidents by taking corrective actions. Enforcing these regulations involves regular inspections, detailed investigations, and potential fines for non-compliance. Each state also has its own set of rules governing the management of storage tanks, which can vary significantly. These state-specific rules complement federal requirements and provide additional oversight to ensure that USTs are managed safely and effectively.
