Policy And Guidance Pertaining To Underground Storage Tanks
EPA, in consultation with state and territorial underground storage tank programs, developed Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Recovery Act Program Guidance to assist EPA regional underground storage tank programs in negotiating and entering into assistance agreements with states and territories.
In accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, EPA developed grant guidelines, a tribal strategy and an Indian Country UST report. The guidelines include:
- Delivery Prohibition
- Financial Responsibility And Installer Certification
- Inspection
- Operator Training
- Public Record
- Secondary Containment
- State Compliance Reports On Government Underground Storage Tanks
EPA issued Policy Directives (1988-1999) to provide regulatory agencies with information to help them implement the UST program.
The UST Technical Compendium is a collection of questions and answers which interpret guidance issued by EPA's Office of Underground Storage Tanks.
