Updated
The purpose of this seminar series is to summarize, for
a technical audience, the results of EPA research on leak
detection methods for underground storage tanks (USTs).
The invited audience includes: manufacturers of leak
detection equipment and instruments, environmental
consultants and others who must choose which tests to
use, and contractors who perform leak detection tests.
The material presented will not be an overview or a primer
on detection. The content of the material will be technical
in nature and only those with previous knowledge of leak
detection equipment should attend.
The timing of this seminar series is designed to follow
the completion of several important EPA studies on a
variety of leak detection methods. Thus, the attendees
will be able to hear directly from the researchers about
the study results and will be able to ask questions. The
presentations will describe the current performance and
limitations of each leak detection method and will
recommend ways to improve performance.
The two-day agenda is divided into four parts. The first
part provides an overview of the various leak detection
methods available for USTs. The second part covers all
methods for internal tank leak detection. The second part
concludes with a presentation on optimizing the choice
among internal tank methods for certain situations. The
third part covers external leak detection methods. The
last part of the seminar covers the integration of internal
and extermal tank leak detection methods.
Registration and Hotel Information
There is no fee for attending these seminars. Since
registration will be limited to the space available, the at-
tached registration card should be completed and mailed
as soon as possible. A letter confirming your preregi-
stration at the seminar of your choice will be sent to
