Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)

Underground Storage Tank Program: 25 Years of Protecting Our Land and Water

(EPA-510-B-09-001). March 2009.

This 25th anniversary booklet provides underground storage tank (UST) stakeholders with information about the accomplishments of the tanks program over the past quarter century. EPA and its state, territorial, and tribal partners have worked together and accomplished much to protect our environment from releases at underground tank facilities, such as gas stations. This 20-page booklet includes an overview and discusses inspecting USTs, reusing abandoned gas stations, updating UST regulations, storing new fuels, and greening UST operations and cleanups.
