Part 1 of this introductory webinar to leaking underground storage tank (LUST) clean-ups covers regulations, initial reporting, and site characterization of LUST cases. Part 2 will cover remediation, monitoring, and closure of LUST clean-up and will be released at a later date.
Our Presenters are Corie White with the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services, Joshua Stevens with the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment, and Rachel Ingram with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
This document provides UST managers a breakdown of where EPA’s Office of Underground Storage Tanks (OUST) UST Regulations and the National Fire Protection Association Fire codes are aligned/misaligned. Most US states adopt NFPA 30 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code) and 30A (Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages) to include the IFC, but very few of those states enforce or write UST regulatory orders pertaining to Fire Codes. When enforcing, or trying to enforce a particular issue, state UST programs may not be aware of what NFPA Fire Codes include, so this document can be used by tank owners or legislatures so as to not encounter issues when creating legislature/regulations.
This compendium contains electronic web links to all of the 50 States, 1 Territory, and the District of Columbia UST Regulations.
