For regulatory purposes, EPA defines an underground storage tank (UST) as a tank and any underground piping connected to the tank that has 10 percent or more of its volume (of tank and piping) beneath the surface of'the ground. USTs are used to store petroleum or certain hazardous substances. Generally, requirements for petroleum and hazardous substance USTs are similar. Statute: A federal statute is a law passed by the U.S. Congress. The statute which covers underground storage tanks is Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). RCRA has been amended several times since it was first enabled. RCRA Subtitle I: The section of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that required EPA to develop a comprehensive regulatory program for USTs storing petroleum or hazardous substances. Congress responded to the increasing threat to groundwater posed by leaking USTs by adding Subtitle I, which was passed as part of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. The law directed EPA to publish regulations that would require owners and operators of USTs to prevent and detect leaks, and clean up leaks and spills. Subtitle I was amended in 1986 by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). SARA created the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund and directed EPA to promulgate regulations requiring owners and operators to show financial responsibility for cleaning up releases and spills and compensating third parties for damages resulting from UST releases.
