Owners and/or operators of underground petroleum storage systems have faced many changes in the last 10 years. Regulations regarding all aspects of petroleum storage, including regulations pertaining to the assessment and remediation following petroleum releases, have been established to protect human health and environmental resources. The primary focal points in the evolution of underground storage tank (UST) management are: upgrades to storage tank hardware for the detection ad prevention of future releases; more efficient management plans for site cleanups based on relative risk to public health and the environment; more efficient technologies for site remediation.
