What is a UST?
Today we’d like to highlight another area of expertise that doesn’t often get very much fanfare, but it’s still really important – Underground Storage Tanks (USTs). There are over half a million USTs in the US right now, all of which store potentially hazardous substances. USTs are really essential because they’re used to store a variety of products, including ones that are petroleum based, by numerous agencies and industries. Some of the products may include gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, jet fuel, diesel, hydraulic oil, propane, used oil, and more. USTs are federally and state regulated, so they must be properly installed by licensed and certified contractors. USTs are heavily regulated because if the hazardous substances they contain leak out, ground water could be seriously contaminated.
Why there are so many regulations governing USTs
As we previously mentioned, the chief concern with USTs is making sure the hazardous materials they contain don’t contaminate ground water. Owners and operators must follow regulations to protect USTs from corrosion, overfills, spills, and more. Anytime a leak is discovered, the UST must be cleaned up and the groundwater must be effectively restored and protected.
