Leaking Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Program

The Leaking Underground Storage Tank program works with state partners to clean up contamination from leaking underground petroleum tanks.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program has a clear purpose and is well managed, but would benefit from regular independent evaluations and a systematic process to review strategic planning.
  • The program's annual and long-term goals of completing cleanups are associated with clear, identifiable human health benefits since a clean up must achieve state-set, risk-based standards.
  • The program developed annual and long-term goals for EPA-led clean ups in Indian Country. This measure tracks EPA's performance of directly cleaning up sites, rather than tracking EPA's oversight of state cleanup programs as captured in it's overall cleanup target.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Seeking out regular independent evaluations and a systematic process to review the program's strategic planning.
  • Developing a measure that will push the program to clean up sites at a greater level of efficiency. Once developed, the program will establish baselines and set goals for efficiency improvement.
