Construction Performance Standards for New or Upgraded UST Systems

Thursday, June 24, 2010 by August Mack Environmental, Inc.

The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPAs) technical regulations for underground storage tanks (USTs) are designed to:

  • Reduce the chance of releases from USTs (Construction & Installation)
  • Detect leaks and spills when they do occur (Design)
  • Secure a prompt cleanup (Notification)

The construction standards for new or upgraded USTs are the following:

  • Tanks and piping can be constructed of Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic or Cathodically-Protected Steel
  • USTs must also have Catchment Basins to contain small spills
If you have any questions regarding the construction standards for your UST, please give one of August Mack's environmental remediation specialists at call at 800.579.0770.
