State Approaches to Addressing Leaking Underground Storage Tanks – Compilation Map

The national UST program has cleaned up over 505,000 leaking UST (LUST) releases in its history, and approximately 60,000 LUST releases remain as of March 2022.

The ASTSWMO LUST Task Force has compiled information and lessons learned from across the nation for several factors that affect cleanup as a resource for States and Territories to help address the remaining LUST releases. This map is an ongoing project and additional subject areas will be added to the map in the future.

Thank you to all the States and Territories who contributed to this map! Don’t see your state/territory information or want to suggest a subject area to be added to the map? Contact Charles Reyes, ASTSWMO at: GinaM@astswmo.org
