Underground Storage Tank Regulations

Underground Storage Tank (UST) Regulations are rules designed to prevent leaks and spills from tanks storing hazardous substances like fuel or chemicals beneath the ground. These regulations require owners to install safety equipment, monitor tank integrity regularly, and maintain records to prevent environmental contamination and protect public health. They aim to detect leaks early, ensure proper tank construction and maintenance, and reduce risks of soil and groundwater pollution. Overall, UST regulations promote safe storage practices and environmental stewardship for underground tanks used at facilities such as gas stations and industrial sites.
