An underground storage system (UST) is a tank and any included underground piping connected to a tank that has at least 10 % of its combined volume stored underground. While USTs are used for several reasons, federal UST regulations apply to UST systems storing fuel or hazardous substances only.
USTs are regulated by local and state government and agencies and must also meet federal EPA regulations. Improper installation and inadequate operation and maintenance of USTs can cause leakage and release of chemicals into the environment. Leakages in USTs present health and environmental risk, can cause fires and explosions, and potentially contaminate sources of drinking water.
At Ramtox we provide a range of service related to underground storage tanks.
