Notification and reporting time frames for USTs

['Tank Systems']

Certain information must be reported at various times for major events in the operational life of a UST.

This table illustrates what must be reported—and when—for major events in the operational life of an underground storage tank (UST):

When this happens	The company must report this	By this time
After the company installs a UST	Complete and submit a notification form available from the implementing agency. This form provides information about the UST, including a certification of correct installation. The company should have already used this form to identify existing USTs. If the company has not done that yet, do so now.	Within 30 days after the company installs the UST
After the company acquires a UST	Complete a notification of ownership change form (available from the implementing agency)	Within 30 days after the company acquires the UST
Before storing certain biofuels or other substances identified by the implementing agency	Notify the implementing agency	At least 30 days before storing certain biofuels or other substances identified by the implementing agency
When the company suspects a release	Report suspected releases to the implementing agency	Within 24 hours (or another period specified by the implementing agency)
When the company confirms a release	Report follow-up actions the company plans or has taken to correct the damage caused by the UST	Within 20 days (or another period specified by the implementing agency)
Before the company permanently closes the UST	Notify the implementing agency	At least 30 days before the company permanently closes the UST
