Underground Storage Tanks

Expert Solutions for Underground Storage Tank Contamination

Underground storage tanks (USTs) are a common source of property contamination. In the United States, more than half of the documented cases of soil and groundwater contamination have been associated with a release from a UST system. Releases from USTs occur due to faulty installation, corrosion and accidental overfills. The longer a tank system is present, the greater the likelihood that a release has or will occur. When a UST system fails, contaminants can leak into the soil and groundwater. The average cost to cleanup at gas station site is over $100,000. Be aware though that if you own a UST you have required “Petro Fund” insurance.

This is a serious environmental issue that must be addressed when buying or selling real estate. Phoenix Environmental’s team of professionals have the expertise to take even the most complex situations to a satisfactory conclusion.

The regulations govern how environmental assessments are performed, as well as how sites are remediated.
