Underground Storage Tank (UST) Regulations

Underground Storage Tank (UST) Regulations require that tanks holding hazardous substances, like gasoline or chemicals, are installed, operated, and maintained safely to prevent leaks and contamination. These rules mandate proper construction, spill prevention, leak detection systems, and regular inspections to protect the environment and public health. When tanks are no longer in use, they must be properly closed or removed to avoid risks. The goal is to ensure that underground tanks do not contaminate soil or water sources, promoting safe storage practices and environmental protection.
