Understanding UST & AST Regulations

Underground and aboveground storage tanks are regulated at federal and state levels to prevent releases and protect human health and the environment. ECI Environmental has extensive experience navigating these complex regulations:

Federal Regulations

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates USTs under Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These regulations establish minimum standards for new tanks and require owners and operators of existing tanks to upgrade, replace, or close them.

State Regulations

Many states, including Michigan, have their own UST regulations that may be more stringent than federal requirements. In Michigan, USTs are regulated under Part 211, Underground Storage Tank Regulations, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA).

Compliance Requirements

UST owners and operators must comply with various requirements, including:

  • Registration of UST systems
  • Installation of release detection systems
  • Corrosion protection
  • Spill and overfill prevention
  • Operator training
  • Regular testing and inspections
  • Release reporting and response
  • Financial responsibility
