PT Soil-UST Standards
Scheduled Proficiency Testing & PT Express™ for Soil and Underground Storage Tank (UST)
Soil and Underground Storage Tank (UST) standards are fundamental regulations established to preserve the environment and human health from hazards associated with underground storage tanks. They dictate the proper management, installation, operation, and closure of UST systems to prevent leaks, spills, and contamination of soil and groundwater.
Compliance with soil and UST standards is essential to mitigate the risks of soil and groundwater pollution, which can significantly impact environmental and public health. These standards ensure that UST systems are safely maintained throughout their lifecycle, reducing the likelihood of contamination and costly cleanup efforts.
