At EPA, our goal is to ensure that UST systems are installed, operated, maintained and closed safely and in compliance with UST regulations to prevent harm to others and the environment. We offer various services to assist UST owners and operators in obtaining and maintaing compliance with federal UST regulations. On this page, you can find information to aid you in day-to-day compliance, in addition to information pertaining to technical assistance inspections and potential leaks. You also can find additional information about various UST operation and maintenance issues, including insurance, release detection, release prevention, installation, change-in-service and closures, by checking out our USTs and Information Resources web pages.
Yes, for facilities on Indian Lands, which includes facilities on Indian reservations owned by non-Indians, EPA Inspectors can conduct a technical assistance inspection of your facility to help you achieve and maintain compliance with federal UST regulations. This inspection will be conducted to determine whether your facility is in compliance. If not, the EPA Inspector will identify the areas that are not in compliance, explain applicable UST requirements and assist you in achieving compliance. For facilities not on Indian Lands, you should check with the appropriate state agency, which may provide you with a technical assistance inspection at your request. You can access your state web site by visiting the State section of our EPA & State Contacts page.
