ABSTRACT

The equipment mentioned in this section is based on federal underground storage tank (UST) regulations, 40 CFR 280. These are minimum standards, which means a state has the option to make them more restrictive. Always check with state and local UST regulators overseeing your site before specifying any type of tank-system equipment. A conversation with environmental and fire-code regulators can save time and money on a project because sometimes site-specific conditions do not allow the use of a particular method or piece of equipment.
