Mid-Atlantic Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)

If not properly maintained and managed, underground storage tanks (USTs) can cause harm to human health and the environment by leaking or allowing spills or overflows of the products contained to enter the soils or groundwater. EPA Region 3 has partnered with our States and the District of Columbia toward the goal of preventing, detecting, and remediating contamination caused by releases from USTs containing petroleum or hazardous substances.
