Effective regulation and management of USTs are imperative to mitigate environmental risks. In the United States, the EPA oversees the implementation of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST) program. These regulations require UST owners to conduct regular inspections, maintenance, and testing to ensure tanks are secure and leak-free. Additionally, in the event of a leak, prompt reporting and remediation efforts are mandated to minimize environmental impact.
