Background
Title XV, Section B of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 amends Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the original legislation that created the underground storage tank (UST) program. The UST provisions of the Energy Policy Act focus on preventing releases and direct EPA to help states comply with new UST requirements. EPA and states, working closely with other stakeholders, developed the secondary containment grant guidelines, which include definitions, requirements, and examples for states choosing to implement the secondary containment provision. States receiving federal funds must implement the secondary containment requirements by February 8, 2007. EPA regions will incorporate the guidelines into their future grant agreements with states.
