State UST Programs

State Underground Storage Tank (UST) Programs are state-managed initiatives that oversee the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of underground tanks holding fuel or hazardous substances. These programs ensure tanks comply with federal and state regulations to prevent leaks, spills, or contamination of soil and water. They often involve regular inspections, spill prevention measures, and cleanup procedures. By managing USTs locally, states help protect environmental and public health, ensuring that underground tanks operate safely and responsibly.
