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 |
