ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This handbook, which is designed to provide assistance to the States as they implement the underground storage
tank notification program, was prepared by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with the assistance of
Franklin Associates, Ltd. (FAL). FAL performed the work under subcontract to Versar, Inc. (EPA
Contract No. 68-01-7053).
Substantial contributions to the handbook were made by Penelope Hansen, first as Chief, Waste Treatment
Branch, and currently as Deputy Director, Office of Underground Storage Tanks (OUST), and by Virginia
Cummings, Technical Project Monitor. Ron Brand, Director, OUST, also reviewed and commented on drafts
of the handbook.
The primary authors for FAL were Marjorie A. Franklin, Principal, and Suzanne C. Metzler, Work Assign-
ment Manager. Staff assistance was provided by Jacob E. Beachey, Richard R. Nixon, and Yvonne D'Arcy.
Gayaneh Contos was Program Manager for Versar. Jerome Strauss, Assistant Program Manager, reviewed the
drafts and made many helpful suggestions.
Special thanks must go to individuals at three State agencies that have already implemented notification pro-
grams. They are: Mike Faulkenstein, California Water Resources Board; Susan Boyles, Florida Department
of Environmental Management; and Beth Forkey, Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.
Their patience in explaining the procedures they used and offering suggestions that could help others is greatly
appreciated. Many other State personnel also made suggestions that were helpful in producing the handbook.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
THE PROBLEM
Recently, leaking underground storage tanks have
been identified as a major potential source of ground-
water contamination. In addition to possible damage
to the environment and public health, leaking
underground tanks cause product losses and are a
potential liability to their owners. The total number
of underground storage tanks (USTs) is not known,
but EPA has estimated that there are over one million
underground tanks used to store petroleum products
and hazardous substances, and that thousands of these
tanks are currently leaking. Up to one-half of the tanks
now in the ground may leak over the next 10 years.
It is a matter of great concern to many States and
local decision-makers that today no one knows where
all these tanks are. As a first step in addressing the
underground storage tank problem, therefore, Con-
gress has mandated that each State conduct a notifica-
tion program to identify the location and other basic
information for their tanks. Congress also provided
that EPA develop a notification form for use by owners
of underground storage tanks and that State Gover-
nors designate State agencies to receive the notifica-
tion forms.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS HANDBOOK
This handbook is intended to provide assistance to
the designated State agencies as they implement the
underground storage tank notification program. This
assistance is largely based on the experience of several
States that have already carried out notification pro-
grams. The handbook includes ideas on organizing the
program, distribution and collection of notification
forms, and carrying out a public education program
to encourage wide participation. Step-by-step guides
and specific examples are included in this handbook.
A NEW LAW
Congress has addressed the underground storage
tank issue by adding Subtitle I to the Hazardous and
Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. President Reagan
signed the Amendments, which strengthen the provi-
sions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA), on November 8,1984. Subtitle I provides for
the development and implementation of a cgmprehen-
sive regulatory program for underground tanks that
store liquid petroleum products (including gasoline and
crude oil) or substances defined as hazardous under
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compen-
sation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) or
"Superfund." Appendix A provides the full text of
Subtitle I.
Basic Provisions
The major requirements of Subtitle I are briefly
outlined below: ^-
• An Interim Prohibition on installing unprotected
new tanks in the ground exists after May 1985.
• Underground storage tank owners must notify
State or local agencies by May 8, 1986.
• EPA must promulgate regulations by 1987 on
maintenance of leak detection systems
-------
- corrective action
• closure procedures
. recordkeeping and reporting
- financial responsibility
- new tank design and operation.
• Federal enforcement authority is granted.
• States may apply for authorization to operate
UST programs after May 1987.
Definitions
Underground storage tanks (USTs) are defined in
the new law as "any one or combination of tanks (in-
cluding underground pipes connected thereto) which
is used to contain an accumulation of regulated
substances, and the volume of which (including the
volume of the underground pipes connected thereto)
is 10 per centum or more beneath the surface of the
ground." Several categories of underground storage
tanks are, however, excluded under this program. They
are:
• Tanks storing hazardous wastes regulated
under Subtitle C of RCRA,
• Farm or residential tanks of 1,100 gallons or less
capacity used for storing motor fuel for non-
commercial purposes,
• Tanks used for storing heating oil for consump-
tive use on the premises where stored,
• Septic tanks,
• Pipeline facilities (including gathering lines)
regulated under
- the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of
1968 (49 U.S.C. App. 1671, et seq.),
- the Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety
Act of 1979 (49 U.S.C. App. 2001, et
seq.), or
• which are intrastate pipeline facilities
regulated under State laws •comparable
to the provisions of law referred
above,
• Surface impoundments, pits, ponds, or lagoons,
• Storm water or waste water collection systems,
• Flow-through process tanks,
• Liquid traps or associated gathering lines directly
related to oil or gas production and gathering
operations, or
• Storage tanks situated in an underground area
(such as a basement, cellar, mineworking, drift,
shaft, or tunnel) if the storage tank is situated
upon or above the surface of the floor.
As defined in the new law, regulated substance means
"any substance defined in Section 101(14) of the Com-
prehensive Environmental Response, Compensatk.. -.,
and Liability Act of 1980 (but not including any
substance regulated as a hazardous waste under Sub-
title Q, and petroleum, including crude oil or any frac-
tion thereof which is liquid at standard conditions of
temperature and pressure (60 degrees Fahrenheit and
14.7 pounds per square inch absolute)." Appendix B
contains a list of CERCLA substances that are
regulated under Subtitle I.
State Emphasis
Congress made it clear that it intended the States to
be the implementers of the underground storage tank
program of Subtitle I. This is evidenced by the fact thai
Congress provided that the States, not EPA, receive
the notification forms from owners of tanks. Appen-
dix C lists the State agencies that have been designated
to receive the notification forms.
Beginning in May 1987, States may apply to EPA
for approval of their UST programs to replace the
Federal program. The State programs must include all
the regulatory elements of the Federal program, be no
less stringent, and provide for adequate enforcement.
The new law does allow temporary approval of State
UST programs that are less stringent in the areas of
leak detection, recordkeeping, reporting, and closure.
But to receive such temporary approval, State programs
must be as stringent as the Federal program in the areas
of corrective action, financial responsibility, and in-
stallation of new tanks. By May 1990, however, all ap-
proved State programs must be at least as stringent as
the Federal program.*
Several States began their own notification programs
for underground storage tanks even before the Hazar-
dous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 were
enacted. Other States had their plans for notification
programs well underway before the EPA-proposed
notification requirements were published in May 1985.
For most States, however, the notification program
that will take place between November 1985 and May
1986 is the first step in addressing the problems posed
by underground storage tanks.
USING THIS HANDBOOK
The four chapters of this handbook describe the
areas that need to be considered hi organizing a
notification program and lay out several alternative
methods of implementation. In addition, each chapter
* Note: Sate programs may be more stringent than the Federal program
In «ny or all requirements.
-------
is supplemented by appendices that provide more
detailed information to be used as needed.
Chapter 1 discusses the leaking underground storage
tank problem and provides an overview of the provi-
sions of the law setting up the UST program. The com-
plete text of Subtitle I, a list of underground storage
tank regulated substances defined under CERCLA, and
a list of all designated State agencies are included for
your reference in Appendices A, B, and C.
A step-by-step guide to organizing an implementa-
tion program is the topic of Chapter 2. Much of the
chapter is devoted to identifying potential underground
storage tank owners, a large and diverse mixture of
groups. Detailed references are provided in Appendix
D, which lists categories of potential UST owners; hi
Appendix E, which provides extensive lists of poten-
tial contacts for UST owners; and hi Appendix F,
which provides example budgeting plans.
Chapter 3 provides information on the four general
methods of form distribution: direct mail, mail-on-
request, use of local pickup points, and distribution
by other groups. Cost data for each method are includ-
ed. More detailed information on carrying out mass
mailings is included hi Appendix G for your reference.
In Chapter 4, numerous methods of publicizing the
notification program hi your State are described. Ex-
amples of some frequently-used publicity tools, such
as press releases, are included hi the chapter. Cost in-
formation for the various methods is also provided.
Some additional "how to" publicity information and
more examples are included hi Appendices H and I for
your use as desired.

CHAPTER 2
Organizing the Notification Program
ISSUES AND DECISIONS
If you have been selected to implement the notifica-
tion program for your State, you will need to address
many issues and make many decisions as you get
organized. Some of the decisions will involve State
policy on the entire underground storage tank program;
many will involve details of implementation. A number
of factors that may be unique to your State obviously
should be considered before you select methods of
distributing and collecting forms, communicating with
underground storage tank owners, and processing the
notification forms you will receive. The figure on this
page lays out a typical decision sequence for putting
together a notification program.
Defining the target audience of underground storage
tank owners in your State is an important first step
because it will give you some feeling about the scope
of the upcoming tasks. Deciding whether or not to use
the Federal form will determine printing and computer
costs as well as staff time needed for form development.
Evaluating the desirability and availability of help
from both in-house resources, such as State Public
Relations Offices, and outside groups such as trade
associations or the League of Women Voters will be
important in moving to the next major step, the for-
mulation of a budget. The level of funding and staff-
ing that can be made available will be the decisive fac-
tor in determining: (a) the selection of forms distribu-
tion and collection methods (Chapter 3); (b) the selec-

tion of appropriate communications methods (Chapter

The rest of this chapter will address the early
decision-making steps of the notification program.
DEFINE TARGET AUDIENCE
Underground storage tank owners represent an in-
credibly diverse mixture of manufacturing and service
industries, wholesalers, retailers, institutions, and
government agencies. The major categories of poten-
tial UST owners are briefly discussed in this section,
along with some ideas on how to get in touch with cen-
tral organizations to obtain preliminary information,
lists, and other help.
Petroleum Retailers
Gasoline stations, the business category most often
associated with underground storage tanks, represent
a primary target audience. Gasoline stations may be
owned by major oil companies, be franchisees of ma-
jor oil companies, or be independently owned "Mom
and Pop" businesses. Those owned or franchised by
major oil companies will be comparatively easy to iden-
tify through the oil company or State or regional
petroleum associations. Those owned by the major
companies are likely to be very knowledgeable about
the notification program.
Identifying independent stations will be much more
difficult, but sources of information are available.
Several associations, such as the Petroleum Marketers
Association of America and the Service Station Dealers
of America, represent independent service stations, but
these station owners are often independent by nature
and do not belong to associations. Trying to identify
independent stations through the use of Standard In-
dustrial Classification(SIC) Code** mailing lists may
not be adequate because these lists are often based on
telephone Yellow Pages, and independents may not
advertise in the Yellow Pages. If your State has a
Bureau of Weights and Measures or a gasoline tax,
these may be your best and most complete sources for
lists of service stations in your State.
Petroleum Producers, Refiners, and Wholesalers
Producers, refiners, and wholesalers are typically
large businesses and their presence in your State is likely
to be common knowledge. These concerns often have
full-time environmental staff to advise them on State
and Federal regulations, and they will be able to give
you information.
There are also several associations that represent
these groups. Some of the larger associations and those
with State chapters are listed hi Appendix E.
SOME POTENTIAL UST OWNERS
Gasoline stations
Car, truck & boat fleets
Petroleum wholesalers
Petroleum producers and refiners
Used oil recyclers
Transportation services
Automotive services
Chemical manufacturing
Metal & metal products manufacturing
Service industries
Farmers and ranchers
Institutions
Government agencies (local, State, &
Federal)
See Appendix D for a more detailed list.
•EPA is developing computer software and data management training
packages for States that wish to use them. State agencies will be
receiving more information about this program.
••More information on the advantages and disadvantages of locating
tank owners through SIC Code lists is in Appendix E.
Transportation and Automotive Services
Transportation and automotive services can be either
very small (such as car washes) or large (such as air-
ports and bus depots). These businesses frequently store
fuel for their transport vehicles in underground tanks.
They may also store other regulated substances such
as used oil and solvents.
Some of the transport services such as airlines,
railroads, bus companies, and truck lines may be
regulated or licensed. The licensing agency will likely
be a good source of information on these businesses.
Other, particularly smaller, businesses will be more dif-
ficult to identify or locate, but may be contacted
through trade associations or by purchasing an SIC
Code-based mailing list.
Car, Truck, and Boat Fleets
Fleets of cars, trucks, and boats are operated by both
private businesses and public agencies. They frequently
have underground tanks on-site to store fuel for their
vehicles. This group is very diverse and includes such
operations as the military, police, and laundry trucks,
as well as car and truck rental agencies.
-------
Fleets operated by local, State, and Federal agen-
cies can typically be contacted using in-house resources,
but private fleets will be more difficult to reach. Ap-
pendix E lists associations that represent businesses like-
ly to have large fleets of vehicles and government coun-
cils and associations that may be helpful in contacting
public agencies with fleets of vehicles. There may also
be other businesses unique to your State that have car,
truck, or boat fleets.
Fanners and Ranchers
Fanners and ranchers that have motor fuel tanks
smaller than 1,100 gallons used for noncommercial pur-
poses are not subject to Federal notification re-
quirements. Fanners and ranchers that have motor fuel
tanks larger than 1,100 gallons or use them for com-
mercial purposes will be subject to notification
requirements.
There are associations for farmers and ranchers, but
many are not association members. A better way to
gather information may be through the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture Extension Service or the State
Agricultural offices. Growers of certain commodities
may have State associations, such as Citrus Mutual in
Florida or the Kansas Wheat Growers Association.
Manufacturing Industries
Most manufacturing industries will have
underground tanks that store raw materials, products,
wastes, or fuel for operating process equipment. (In
some cases, fuel for running manufacturing processes
will be exempt from Federal requirements as a heating
oil.) Chemical manufacturers and metal and metal pro-
ducts manufacturers are most likely to store regulated
substances in underground tanks, but other manufac-
turing industries may also store them.
Appendix D contains a specific list of manufacturers
that are potential UST owners. Some of these industries
are clustered regionally and may not be found in your
State. Tobacco manufacturers are one example. Other
industries, such as etching and electroplating firms, are
more universal.
Institutions
Many institutions have underground tanks. Their
tanks are often used 10 store heating oil and will be
exempt; however, colleges, universities, hospitals, and
prisons are likely to store gasoline or other regulated
substances, too. There may be other institutions uni-
que to your State that store regulated substances in
underground tanks.
Service Industries
Service industries are a diverse group, ranging from
amusement parks to funeral homes and pest control
services. The regulated substances they store in
underground storage tanks are also highly variable, and
include gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, and pesticides.
Some service industries do not have an SIC Code
because they are primarily retail businesses. Associa-
tions of service industries that are likely to have USTs
are listed hi Appendix E. Other contact approaches
should also be considered. For instance, morticians and
pesticide applicators often are licensed by State or coun-
ty agencies.
Appendix E contains further information on techni-
ques for contacting groups of UST owners as well as
extensive lists of national and State industry associa-
tions and public agencies.
Government Agencies
Most city and county governments as well as many
State or Federal agencies have underground tanks for
fuel and other uses. Transportation departments,
building and plant maintenance offices, and business
offices are important targets for UST notification.
Federal agencies and Indian tribal governments wiP
submit notification forms to the appropriate State
agencies where they are located. Military installations
are among the Federal agencies that will submit forms
to your State agency.
SELECT NOTIFICATION FORM
Subtitle I of RCRA requires EPA to "prescribe the
form of the notice" to be used by-underground storage
tank owners when notifying the designated agency. The
notice is required to include the age, size, type, loca-
tion, and use of each tank. The form developed by EPA
and published in the Federal Register is shown on the-
next page.

most States plan to use the Federal form in
their notification programs, other States have
developed their own forms. The only requirement is
that the State-developed forms be no less stringent than
the Federal form. "No less stringent than" means that
at least the universe covered by the Federal law (see
page 1) must be covered by the State (States may
register other tanks if they wish). The State form must
address, at a minimum, the age, the size, the type, the
location, and the use of each tank.
EVALUATE PARTICIPATION BY OTHERS
Your resources for the notification program can be
augmented substantially by the participation of other
State agencies, private associations, and various public
groups. Marshalling these forces early in the program
will allow for more realistic budget planning as well
as a more successful project.
The Depositors' Responsibilities
One group that is mandated to assist the State is
depositors of regulated substances. To ensure that
owners of underground storage tanks are informed of
eir responsibility to notify, Congress has required
yone depositing regulated substances in underground
storage tanks to notify the owners or the operators of
such tanks of the owner's notification responsibilities.
When planning your program, it will be helpful to
know how the depositors of regulated substances (for
example, petroleum product jobbers) are planning to
notify 'UST owners in your State. For example, a
depositor may opt to leave a copy of the notification
form with the owner or operator of the tank or he may
advise tank owners of their notification responsibilities
by printing a statement concerning the notification re-
quirements on the delivery invoice.
After the U.S. EPA issues new tank performance
standards, sellers of underground storage tanks must
inform purchasers of the owner's notification re-
quirements. Since the new tank performance standards
are not expected to be issued before 1987, the tank
sellers will not be of immediate help hi the notifica-
tion program unless they volunteer.
Participation by Other Groups
Other organizations in your State will also have a
vital interest in the notification program, and may assist
you with distribution of forms to and communication
with the tank owners.
As mentioned previously, trade associations
representing UST owners, depositors of regulated
substances, and tank sellers are an important resource
and should be contacted early. Many national trade
associations with members likely to own USTs are tak-
ing an active role in informing their membership of up-
coming regulatory requirements. They will probably
be glad to learn the details of your State program so
they can provide accurate information to their member-
ship. Those associations that will be assisting you by
distributing notification forms will be especially in-
terested hi knowing what form your State plans to use.
Another important early contact could be the State
Fire Marshal or other fire protection organizations. The
National Fire Protection Association has a grant from
EPA to assist in educational efforts for the UST pro-
gram, and will be working through State Fire Marshals
and local tire departments.
Local governments, environmental groups, and civic
organizations are among the other groups that may be
helpful with your program.
INVENTORY IN-HOUSE RESOURCES
A quick inventory of "in-house" resources can save
you duplication of effort and a lot of staff time and
funds. For example, there may be several other State
agencies and offices within your agency that have
regulated some sector of underground tank owners and
thus have mailing lists or other useful information.
If your State has its own public relations staff, they
may wish to be a major player in the notification pro-
gram, which can save you a great deal of time, effort,
and money. At the very least such an office will be able
to help you in writing press releases, finding lists of
newspapers in the State, etc.
Remember also that some State agencies may have
their own underground storage tanks to service motor
pools or for other purposes. These agencies should be
encouraged to "lead the way" for the rest of the State
by notifying early.
ESTABLISH FUNDING/STAFFING LEVEL
Implementing the notification program will require
both staff time and direct expenditure of funds. You
will find guidelines on typical costs of various activities •
throughout this handbook. The available funding and
staffing level will have an impact^ for example, on how
extensive the public education program can be and
which methods of forms distribution can be used. State
budget allocations will also impact the types of activities
possible. Some States will find that they have adequate
staffing but very little money to pay for printing or
travel; other States may experience the opposite.
-------
EPA has established a grant pool of $100,000 for
each State that must be matched by 5 percent from the
State. Another 525,000 is available for States through
EPA regional office discretionary funds.
For States using the Federal notification form, EPA
will provide camera-ready originals bearing the State
agency's name and address. EPA will participate in
printing of the forms. In addition, EPA will supply
to States at their request computer software and train-
ing for the processing of notification data.
Budget decisions are clearly pivotal and must be
made as early as possible hi the program. Appendix
F presents an example budget estimation procedure
based on generalized parameters for a typical
Midwestern State.
THE NEXT STEP
When you have evaluated all of the factors outlin-
ed above, plus any other unique circumstances in your
State, and have reached at least preliminary budget
decisions, you can move on to a major decision point:
What methods of forms distribution and collection will
maximize participation by underground storage tank
owners? This is the subject of the next chapter.

9650.3
CHAPTER 3
Distributing and Collecting Forms
MAKING CHOICES
Getting the notification forms into the hands of the
underground storage tank owners who must fill them
out and return them to the proper State agency is a
challenging undertaking. Hie effectiveness of the State
form distribution and collection system, however, is
the key to the success of the notification program. Mak-
ing it easy for tank owners to obtain and return forms
will clearly have a favorable impact on the number of
underground storage tanks identified through the
program.
Selecting the methods of form distribution and col-
lection for your program is thus a fundamental deci-
sion point. This chapter outlines methods that have
been used by other States. It also provides data you
may need to make a good decision after taking into
account those factors that are unique to your State or
agency.
CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVES
The general methods for distributing forms are: mail-
ing directly to people whom you believe may own
Underground storage tanks; mailing out forms to peo-
ple who request them by phone or mail; placing forms
at local pickup points for tank owners to pick up; and
distributing forms by other groups such as depositors
of regulated substances, trade associations, tank sup-
pliers, or others.
A critically important point made by all States that
have already carried out a notification program is that
no one distribution and collection system will reach all
tank owners. Methods that are effective in urban areas
may be ineffective in rural areas. Methods that reach
a well-defined universe, such as service stations, may
be ineffective in reaching various manufacturing
industries.
It is important to combine as many approaches as
you can afford given the constraints of time, money,
and staffing. At the very least, you will need to keep
all. of the various audiences you identified in the
preliminary steps of your program (see Chapter 2)
dearly in mind as you design your distribution and col-
lection system.
The focus of form distribution activity will vary with
the methods chosen. If a direct mail campaign is chosen
as the primary distribution method, then your State
agency will be performing most of the work from a
central location. Likewise, mailing out forms in
response to requests will be a centralized activity.
If placing forms at local pickup points such as fire
stations or libraries is to be your primary means of form
distribution, then the focus moves to the local sites.
Your State agency will need to provide training, sup-
port, and followup if the local distribution points are
to be effective.
Distribution of forms by other groups such as
associations should always be considered a supplement
to other efforts, since it is not likely that any one group
will reach all UST owners. Petroleum product jobbers,
for instance, will not reach chemical tank owners.
More information on the four methods of form
distribution is given below.
DIRECT MAIL
If you choose to use this centralized method, you
will need to put together a mailing list of people likely
to be underground storage tank owners, plan the packet
of information you will send out, and plan for return

g£ the forms. Mass mailing of notification forms is ex-
Pmive, but the States that have used it to implement
a notification program believe it to be effective. Florida
feels that direct mail distribution of forms increased
their response rate, because tank owners were apparent-
ly ''psyched" into believing that the State already knew
they had underground tanks.
Rhode Island used direct mail for communicating
information on their notification program and a com-
bination of mail-on-request and local pickup for forms
distribution. They now feel that including the form with
their educational material mailing would have increased
their response rate.
In their implementation, California used an in-
teresting postcard mailing that included a card that
could be returned by tank owners to request forms.
California has achieved a high rate of effectiveness in
registering tanks using this along with other methods.
Several realities of a direct mail approach must be
kept hi mind, however. First, a great deal of staff time
must be devoted to compiling lists, purging them of
duplicative names and addresses, and actually address-
ing envelopes. Second, you must be prepared for the
return of a substantial number of undeliverable
packages. (Lists frequently are not kept up-to-date.)
Third, for a wide variety of reasons you will find it
impossible to reach all of your target audience by this
method alone. Finally, you will unavoidably send
notification packets to many people who do not own
underground storage tanks, which is likely to generate
at least some confusion.
Assembling the Mailing List
If direct mail is to be the chief method of forms
distribution in your State, then it will be important to
have as complete a coverage of tank owners as possi-
ble. (Reviewing the list in Appendix D should help to
define these groups.) There are several possible sources
of mailing lists:
• In-house and other State resources
• Commercial mailing services
• Trade associations.
If mailing lists are obtained from more than one
source, they can be merged together and duplicates can
be eliminated. A review of in-house and other State
resources can save much time and effort. Florida
used a combination of lists from the Department of
Agriculture (which checks gasoline pump meters); the
Department of Natural Resources (marinas); the
Bureau of Weights and Measures (retailers); the Depart-
ment of Revenue (fanners and fishermen applying for
gas tax refunds); trade associations; and a purchased
list based on SIC Codes. They then merged the lists
by computer. Unfortunately, many of the addresses
on the purchased list were incorrect, so checking quality
is recommended before purchasing a list.
Trade associations hi your State may be willing to
share mailing lists with you. This should be deter-
mined early in the planning process.
For those interested in pursuing this approach, we
have included a great deal more information on sen-
ding a mass mailing in Appendix G.

-------
Madison Building, Capitol City, Anystate 12345
Dear Sir or Madam:
In 1984 che Congress of the United States adopted a nev law chat requires
owners of underground storage tanks containing petroleum products and
j most chemicals to notify the State in which the tank is located concerning
: certain facts about the tanks. These notifications must be sent to the
Anystate Department of Natural Resources in Capitol City by May 8, 1986.
• The Federal law carries penalties of up to $10,000 per tank for failure
j to notify.
:
I
! You are receiving this letter because you are in a business that is likely
to use underground tanks. If you do not have underground tanks you need
read no farther. If, however, you do have underground tanks, whether in
operation or not, I request that you carefully read the enclosed brochure,
which describes who oust notify (there are several exclusions) and what
information oust be included. If chis new law applies co your tank or
tanks, please fill out the enclosed notification form and mail it to the
indicated address. ' You may obtain more brochures and forms at your local
fire station or by calling 1-800-UST-lNFO.
I sincerely appreciate your cooperation in complying with this new lav.
Unfortunately incidents of leaking underground tanks are all too conmbr..
Knowing where the tanks are will greatly assisc Anystate in giving quick
response when ground-water problems are discovered. Protection of our
natural water supply is vital to all citizens of Anystate.
Sincerely,
Thomas Adams, Governor

• The deadline for filing
• Where to return the forms
• Information on penalties for noncompliance
• How to get more forms
• How to get more information.
You may want to consider including a return
envelope addressed to your agency. This will increase
the response rate (and also the cost, of course).
If a cover letter is used, it should be on official let-
terhead signed by a well-known public official, such
as the Governor. This will get the reader's attention
and may help to overcome one of the most common
failings of direct mail approaches, the "junk mail"
look. For this reason, it is also important that the
envelope has an official look so as to minimize the
number of people who throw it away without even
opening it.
If you decide to use a letter from the Governor (see
example), it is probably a good idea to develop the letter
early in your program because approvals for-such let-
ters can take a long time.
Sending the Mailing
Sending out the mailing will involve addressing the
envelopes, assembling the package (letter and/or
brochure, form, and return envelope if used), stuff-
ing envelopes, and adding postage. It is possible to have
envelopes addressed by a service or to purchase labels
already addressed. The States that have implemented
have done the work in-house, however.
Costs
. Direct mail is an expensive method of form distribu-
tion. It does, however, maximize the number of forms
received by tank owners. This method also may require
less additional effort to inform tank owners, as com-
pared to other methods such as mail-on-request and
local pickup of forms.
Direct costs in addition to staff time for the activities
mentioned above include copying, postage, purchas-
ing mailing lists, and using computer time to son lists.
MAIL-ON-REQUEST
Even if one or more of the other form distribution
methods discussed in this chapter are chosen as the
primary distribution method for your State, mail-on-
request will serve as an important backup to get forms
to many tank owners. Mail-on-request serves people
who were missed in a direct mailing, for example, or
who are unable for some reason to pick up a form per-
sonally from a local distribution center. As you
publicize your program, you should include a phone
number and/or address where people can request
notification forms.
In implementing their notification programs,
California, Florida, and Rhode Island all had systems
in place to respond to requests for forms. California
sent out a postcard that could be returned to request
forms and registered 30,000 to 40,000 tanks by that
method (about 25 percent of total registration). In
Rhode Island, mail-on-request accounted for about
half of the forms distributed.
Although mail-on-request can serve as a primary
distribution method, it does have the disadvantage of
relying on the tank owner to initiate the notification
procedure after hearing about the program through the
State's publicity campaign. The expenses associated
with this form distribution procedure are moderate,
however, when compared to other methods. In addi-
tion, it has the major advantage of being quickly im-
plemented. As soon as public education materials are
developed (see Chapter 4), you can begin to "spread
the word" and process requests for information and
forms.
For this method of forms distribution, you will need
to allocate the bulk of your resources for publicity and
telephone response. The time and costs for develop-
ing informative materials about the notification pro-
gram are addressed in Chapter 4.
LOCAL PICKUP POINTS
Leaving notification forms at conveniently located
and heavily publicized points where tank owners can
pick them up is another alternative to consider. This
.method can be used instead of, or in addition to, a
direct mail effort. Placing forms at designated pickup
locations is a relatively inexpensive method of form
distribution, and for this reason quite attractive. Set-
ting up such a program will, however, require a high
degree of up front organization in order to prepare per-
sonnel at local pickup points to act as forms distribu-
tion centers.
For the public, there are drawbacks to this method
similar to those associated with, .the mail-on-request
method. Underground tank owners must be motivated
by publicity concerning the program to -go to local
distribution centers to pick up forms. Another
drawback is that there will be people who find it dif-
ficult or impossible to travel to any location to get
forms. An obvious example is absentee or out-of-state
-------
owners. Alternate methods such as mail-on-request
should be provided to get forms to that group of
underground tank owners.
Organizing the Program
If you elect to use this distribution method, you
must:
• Determine which organizations have offices
located throughout the State
• Secure the cooperation of the central office or
official (e.g., the State Fire Marshal)
• Develop educational materials
• Educate the staff at the pickup points
• Plan for delivery and return of the forms
• Inform tank owners of the pickup locations.
Some locations from which forms can be distributed
include:
• Fire stations
• City and county offices
• Regional offices of the designated State agency
• Local health departments
• Public libraries
• Offices of building inspectors.
Local pickup points for forms were used by all three
States that have completed implementation. Rhode
Island distributed forms at fire stations, California used
city and county offices, and Florida left, forms at
building inspectors' offices. Rhode Island distributed
about half of their forms in this manner, and about
half by mail-on-request. California and Florida, which
are much larger States, used direct mail and mail-on-
request as their principal means of form distribution,
with local pickup as a supplementary method.
Choosing the Organization
Two criteria are paramount when choosing the
organization or organizations (more than one may be
necessary) to distribute your notification forms to the
public:
• The organization must have dearly-recognizable
local offices in almost all parts of the State.
(In this context, fire stations and libraries are
probably to be preferred over health depart-
ments or building inspectors' offices.)
• The organization must have a central office
(preferably located in the same city that you
are) that can commit the participation of the
entire organization around, the State and that
has the means to communicate with their local
offices on a frequent basis.
Once you have determined which organizations best

fulfill the above criteria, you must, of course, persuade
them to participate. This can sometimes involve a great
deal of time and effort. Once it is accomplished,
you and the leaders of the selected organizations must
form a close partnership and remain in almost daily
contact until the project is completed.
Training Local Staff
One of the most important aspects of the partner-
-------
9650.3
ship with organization leaders will be the development
of training materials for the local staff that will actually
carry out the program. It may be that the central of-
fice of this organization has carried out this type of
effort for other programs and will only need your in-
put on the specifics of the notification program.
If the organization does not have this kind of ex-
pertise, you will have to develop training materials for
the firemen, city or county employees, etc., at the sites
so that they can answer questions or direct tank owners
to the proper authorities for answers. Probably the
lowest-cost training method would be to mail out a
short letter (on the central organization's stationery) ex-
plaining where to refer tank owners with questions, and
how to notify the State when the form supply is low.
A more thorough, and also more costly, form of train-
ing would be to conduct training sessions or seminars
to teach the staff at the pickup locations how to answer
questions regarding the forms. If your agency has
regional offices throughout the State, the regional staff
might provide training fairly economically.
Delivery and Return of Forms
Forms can be delivered to pickup points by mail or
delivery truck, or State employees could deliver them.
Parcel post would be the cheapest method for most
States. In Rhode Island, the State Fire Marshal was
a member of the State committee for the tank program,
and he took responsibility for distributing forms to the
fire stations.
Tank owners could return completed forms to the
distribution point. (You would need to provide pre-
addressed and pre-stamped large manila envelopes or
boxes to each site.) It is probably more practical to have
the tank owners mail the completed forms back to you.
As with the direct mail method, if you can afford pre-
stamped envelopes you will get a higher response rate.
Publicity
If you plan to use local pickup points as the main
type of form distribution hi your State, then inform-
ing tank owners through a well-designed public educa-
tion program is a most important key to success. There
are many ways to do this, and the next chapter of the
handbook discusses some of them.
DISTRIBUTION BY OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS
Many other organizations have a strong interest in
the notification program, and some may help with
forms distribution. In your initial planning, you will
need to determine how these organizations in your State
can or will help you. Their help should be considered
a desirable supplement to the primary methods of form
distribution. Contact with other interested organiza-
tions is especially important if your State has developed
its own form, so that tank owners will receive consis-
tent and accurate information. (National organizations
may heavily publicize the Federal form.)
If you do rely on other groups to distribute notifica-
tion forms, it is important to make dear .that the forms
are to be returned to your agency and to make sure
the groups are well informed on the program.
OTHER GROUPS MAY HELP
• Depositors of Regulated Substances
• Trade Associations
• Tank Sellers
• Environmental Organizations
• Community Groups
Depositors of Regulated Substances.
The Federal law (Subtitle I) requires depositors of
regulated substances in underground storage tanks to
"reasonably notify the owner or operator of such tank
of the owner's notification requirements...." The law
does not, however, require the depositors to distribute
notification forms.
Many of the States already planning notification pro-
grams do intend to ask bulk distributors of regulated
substances to cooperate by distributing forms, and at
least one State is planning to require bulk distributors
to leave forms with their customers.
Trade Associations
Trade associations representing owners of
underground storage tanks, sellers of tanks, and
depositors of regulated substances have'a vital interest
in this program. You may find these groups quite will-
ing to help with form distribution, especially those
associations that have active State or regional chapters.
However, national associations should not be complete-
ly ruled out. Most have the ability to list members
within a given State, and in the case of small or
specialized trade groups, they may be the best contact.
Appendix 1 contains a list of trade associations that
are likely to have members who own underground
tanks. Associations known to have State or regional
chapters are designated.
17
-------
In their implementation programs, Rhode Island and
California were both assisted by local associations;
Rhode Island relied on them quite heavily. Associa-
tions used hi Rhode Island included: the American
Petroleum Institute, Ocean State Petroleum Retailers,
an association for fire chiefs, and the League of Cities
and Towns. Associations mentioned by other States
have included: State Independent Oil and Gas Associa-
tions, State Associations of service station dealers,
Chemical Manufacturers Association, Citrus Mutual,
petroleum jobbers, and Chambers of Commerce.
The use of trade associations to distribute forms may
be a real cost-saver for putting together a mailing list
and for distributing forms, particularly if they pay the
postage. Compliance may be increased by the simple
availability of the forms, in contrast to owners having
to make requests for forms or having to go somewhere
to pick up forms. As has been mentioned earlier,
however, thousands of tank owners are not members
of any association, so other methods must be used by
your State to reach these people.
Tank Sellers
Subtitle 1 of RCRA requires sellers of underground
storage tanks to notify the purchaser of the owner's
notification requirements. The Federal requirements
for tank sellers, however, will not go into effect until
1987.
You may want to contact tank sellers and their trade
associations in your State to determine if they will help
with form distribution on a local basis, even though
they have no Federal requirement to do so.
pthers
Depending on local circumstances, you may find
other groups willing to help distribute forms. Groups
that have been suggested include environmental
organizations, the League of Women Voters, and
Boy Scout Troops. Some environmental groups are
listed in Appendix E.
TOLL-FREE TELEPHONE NUMBER
No matter what primary method of form distribu-
tion you choose, you can expect to receive numerous
calls from tank owners seeking information and ask-
ing for forms. Rhode Island, for'instance, received
many calls as their program was publicized, and they
either directed people to pickup points at fire stations
or mailed forms if requested to do so.
While it is not necessary to have a toll-free number,
most State personnel surveyed felt that the response
would be higher if people did not have to pay to call.
The "800" number is designed to allow a long-distance
caller to call toll-free with the cost for service paid by
the party being called (your agency).
The "800" number is supplied by the Bell System
for calls originating from within the States. AT&T fur-
nishes a separate "800" service for calls originating
outside the State. Since most tank owners would call
from within your State, the interstate "800" number
would probably not be needed.
There are two types of costs associated with the
special phone service. The first is the cost of the phone
service itself, which varies from State to State; the se-
cond is the staff time required to respond to the phone
inquiries and train phone personnel.
The staff requirements for answering the phone will
vary with the method selected for implementation. If
the telephone is to be the primary method for re-
questing notification forms, then a large number of
calls may.be made in a short time period. In this case
it may take several phone lines and several people to
respond to the calls.
In Florida, an 800 number was installed to handle
calls during the State's three-month notification period.
During this time, Florida received approximately 200
calls per month concerning notification requirements.
Less than 10 percent of the calls were from persons with
questions about the notification program, while 65 per-
cent of the calls were from persons-requesting forms.
In California, although an "800" number was not
used, six summer student employees and as many as
eight regular staff members were used to answer in-
quiries about their tank registration program. (Califor-
nia has registered approximately 150,000 tanks.)
If the telephone is used primarily for solving prob-
-------
9650.3
kns, then fewer people are needed, but they should
i^ualified to answer detailed questions regarding the
notification forms. It is suggested that the "800" line
be reserved for short phone conversations to allow ac-
cess for the maximum number of callers. If necessary,
an operator can take the name and number so that a
qualified staff member can call back on another line
to help solve complex problems.
SUMMING UP
Various combinations of form distribution
methods—direct mail, local pickup, mail-on-request,
and assistance from other groups—have been used by
the States that have already implemented a notification
program. The three States that have this experience all
achieved good response rates. It can therefore be con-
cluded that any of these methods will work, and that
some combination of all methods is desirable.
The table on page 20 shows some comparative costs
for the various form distribution and collection
methods. A detailed calculation methodology along
with assumptions used to estimate costs for three
different-sized States is included hi Appendix F. By
"plugging in" parameters for your own State, you can
estimate your costs for any combination of methods.
In planning your own program, you will need to
select a distribution system that matches your State's
characteristics and budget. The next step is to plan ap-
propriate communication methods to publicize the
selected distribution systems.

CHAPTER 4 Communicating Notification Requirements
MOTIVATING JANK OWNERS
To achieve a successful underground storage tank
notification program, you must make the tank owners
in your State aware of their responsibilities and
motivate them to participate. The two classic motiva-
tion methods are "the carrot and the stick." In this
case, the "carrot" is the benefits of the UST program:
protection of our environment and possibly product
savings and decreased liability for tank owners. The
"stick" is the Federal penalty of up to $10,000 for each
tank if notification is not given, plus any additional
penalties in your State.
Your communications program thus must inform
tank owners of their notification responsibilities, tell
them how to obtain and return forms, and motivate
)hem to act.
Subtitle I of RCRA requires two groups to notify
underground storage tank owners of their notification
responsibilities—those who deposit regulated
substances in underground storage tanks and those
who sell underground storage tanks (the latter not un-
til 1987). Most States have indicated a conviction that
additional publicity will be required to achieve a high
response rate.
SEEKING ASSISTANCE
If your State has a public relations or public educa-
tion department, they should be contacted immediately
to determine what role, if any, they are able to play
in publicizing the program. They may wish to essen-
tially run it themselves (with your input), or they may
volunteer to take over certain specific functions such
as writing and distributing press releases. Perhaps they
may only be able to advise you on names and phone
numbers of key individuals such as newspaper editors.
Whatever their role, public information professionals
can be a valuable asset in reaching the diverse audience
impacted by the UST program.
METHODS TO CONSIDER
The methods of form distribution and collection you
have selected will help determine the level of publicity
you need. If your program requires tank owners to take
some positive action—picking up forms in person or
calling to obtain forms—then it is particularly necessary
to have a strong information program. The States that
have implemented notification or other, similar pro.-
grams generally feel that a combination of several com-
munication methods is the best approach.
COMMUNICATION METHODS
TO CONSIDER
Press releases
Fact sheets, brochures, and journal articles

j UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK NOTIFICATION UNDERWAY
I
CAPITOL CITY - Thousands of Anyscane owners of underground storage tanks containing
gasoline or other regulated substances will soon be receiving forms that they must
use to notify the Anystate Department of Natural Resources of details regarding
their tanks. This notification program, which must be completed by May 8, 1986,
is part of the Resource Conservation and. Recovery Act Amendments enacted by the
U.S. Congress in 1984.
I Concern about contamination of the nation's ground water, widely used for
I drinking and other domestic purposes, and environmental damage caused by leaks
j of petroleum products and other hazardous chemical substances prompted last year's
! legislation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was required to develop
the notification forms, which are being distributed and collected by the DNR.
Under the new law, storage tanks are defined as "underground" if 10 percent
or more of the tank, including piping, is beneath the ground. Farm and residential
motor fuel tanks are exempted unless they are larger than 1,100 gallons. On-site
heating oil storage tanks, septic tanks, and certain other tanks are also exempted.
The new law applies to liquid petroleum products and all substances defined as
hazardous under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980. . This includes almost all chemicals, including industrial solvents.
The notification requirements apply not only eo underground storage tanks currently
in use, but also to tanks taken out of operation after January 1, 1974, but still
in the ground.
To enforce the notification requirements, Congress provided for a penalty not
to exceed $10,000 for each tank for which notification is not given or for which
false information is submitted.
If an underground storage tank owner has not received his notification forms,
or if additional information is needed, the DNR has provided a toll-free number
(1-SOO-UST-INFO) to call. Forms may also be obtained by writing to John Smith,
Department of Natural Resources. 400 Main Street, Capitol City, Anystate 12345.

This chapter outlines some time-tested communica-
tions methods you should consider. Because some
States will not have the benefit of input from a public
education office, all methods are discussed in some
detail. Additional information and references for the
various communications methods are included in Ap-
pendix H.
PRESS RELEASES
A press release is the most basic method of com-
municating information to the general public through
the news media—newspapers, magazines or newslet-
ters, radio, and television. If the press release contains
information that is newsworthy and interesting, it will
be used by many editors and station managers. It is
generally recognized that a news item in a newspaper
will reach a larger audience for less cost than in any
other medium.
The States that have implemented UST-notification
programs have used press releases to at least some ex-
tent, and other States have indicated that they intend
to use press releases extensively.
California, one of the States that has implemented
an underground tank registration program, used a
staged approach for its press releases. A lengthy release
went out when the program was announced by the head
of the responsible agency. Then 10 days before the
registration deadline, a two-page press release was
issued. California had a ''grace period" on registra-
tion before fines went into effect, and two more press
releases a month apart announced that deadline also.
After that deadline had passed, another press release
announced the number of tanks that had been
registered. Thus a considerable amount of publicity was
generated through a series of press releases rather than
just one, which could be missed by many in the target
audience.
This is a particularly important area in which to have
input from your State public relations office. Their ex-
pertise will allow you to reach those who decide which
stories are newsworthy in your State. They will have
access to lists of newspapers, radio stations, and televi-
sion stations to which press releases can be sent. If these
lists are not available, they can be developed through
the use of directories, which should be available at any
large library. (A list of directories is included in Ap-
pendix H.)
In .addition to the commercial media, you can send
press releases to the newsletters of trade associations,
environmental groups, and other community
organizations.
Format
While there is no one "correct" way to write a press
release, there are some generally accepted guidelines,
which are listed below.
• Keep each press release to one or two pages.
• Type press releases double spaced on 8'/i by
11-inch paper.
• Use your Agency letterhead and type the name
and telephone number of a contact person in
the upper left-hand corner.
• Type FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE and the
mailing date or FOR RELEASE (date) in the
upper right-hand corner.
• Leave several lines of space and type a short,
descriptive title. (This will probably be revised
by an editor and can be omitted.)
• Begin with a dateline (the city) as the first
word in all capita] letters.
• Write the first paragraph so that all important
points are included. Remember the "Five
Ws"—who, what, when, where, and why. The
following paragraphs should add details in
descending levels of importance.
• Type "more" at the bottom of the page if
there is more than one page. Type the title
and "continued" at the top of the next page.
• Type "-30-," "###," or "End" at the end of
the release.
Example press releases are shown in this chapter for
your use as guides if needed. These should obviously
be modified to reflect the situation in your State. For
example, the press releases included here are written
for States using the Federal notification form. The press
releases must also be tailored to reflect the methods
of distribution and collection of forms being used in
your State.
Photographs and Press Kits
Your press releases may attract more attention if they
are accompanied by photographs or press kits. Many
newspapers, especially the larger ones, will prefer to
take their own photographs and write their own stories.
Sending additional information in a press kit will help
reporters by providing good background information.
More details on preparing photographs and press kits to
accompany press releases are included in Appendix H.
Costs
While publicity generated by news releases is "free"
in the sense that no charge is made by the newspaper

UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK NOTIFICATION DEADLINE NEARS
CAPITOL CITY - Barbara Jones, head of the Anystate Department of Natural Resources, {
has reminded owners of underground storage tanks storing hazardous substances in j
Anystate that only 30 days remain for submitting notification forms to the DNR j
before'the Hay 8, 1986 deadline. Jones said that the State had already received j
6,000 notification forms. Forms are available at fire stations around the State. j
The completed forms must be returned to the DNR in Capitol City. j
The notification program is required by 1984 Amendments to the Resource j
Conservation and Recovery Act enacted by the U.S. Congress. Concern about con- ;
tamination of the nation's ground water, widely used for drinking and other '
domestic purposes, and environmental damage caused by leaks of petroleum products
and other hazardous substances, including most chemicals, prompted last year's
legislation. ,
The notification requirements apply not only to underground storage tanks j
currently used to hold regulated substances, but also to tanks taken out of
operation after January 1, 1974, but still in the ground, tinder the new law,
storage tanks are defined as "underground" if 10 percent or more of the tank,
including piping, is beneath the ground. Farm and residential motor fuel tanks
are exempted unless they are larger than 1,100 gallons. On-site heating oil
storage tanks, septic tanks, and certain other tanks are also exempted. The new
law applies to underground storage tanks that hold liquid petroleum products or
substances defined as hazardous under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund).
To enforce the notification requirements, Congress provided for a penalty
not to exceed $10,000 for each tank for which notification is not given or for
which false Information is submitted.
Underground storage tank owners who would like to receive their notification
forms by mail, or who need additional information, should call 1-800-UST-INFO or
write to John Smith, Department of Natural Resources, 400 Main Street, Capitol
City. Anystate 12345.

or broadcast station, a cost is involved in the prepara-
tion and distribution of the releases. Staff time will be
required for writing the releases, assembling a media
mailing list, and folding, stuffing, and addressing
envelopes. Direct costs for press releases include copy-
ing, envelopes, postage, and photographs (if used).
FACT SHEETS, BROCHURES, AND
ARTICLES
Fact sheets, brochures, and journal articles can play
an important role.in your communication program.
Possible uses for fact sheets or brochures include:
• Distribution hi press kits
• Distribution by speakers or others at meetings,
briefings, press conferences, workshops, or
seminars
• Mailing out in response to telephone inquiries
• Mailing out as pan of a direct mail program.
The target audience for these materials could thus
be the tank owners themselves or others who may help
to inform them, such as the press.
California used a brochure in publicizing its notifica-
tion program, along with a variety of other methods.
The brochure was mailed out, handed out at meetings,
and otherwise distributed in person.
Journal articles generally have much the same con-
tent as fact sheets and brochures, but in an expanded
form. You will probably have the best results with ar-
ticles if they are targeted for a specific publication or
a category of publications, such as those related to the
petroleum industry.
Costs for a fact sheet include staff time for prepara-
tion and direct costs for copying. A brochure is general-
ly more elaborate, requiring more time to prepare and
professional printing as compared to routine copying.
Costs for a journal article would be similar to a fact
sheet, but more tune would probably be involved for
preparation, and more direct costs for copying and
postage.
Examples of a fact sheet, brochure, and journal ar-
ticle are included hi Appendix I.
SPEECHES
Speeches are always an effective way to communicate
and you will almost certainly want to use this method
hi some manner. All the States that have implemented
a notification program used speeches to communicate
with tank owners and other interested parties.
In implementing their program, Florida used "can-
ned" speeches by Department of Environmental
Regulation personnel extensively. They held 15 to 20
seminars around the State, each including a. four-
county area. Attendance at these seminars ranged from
10 to 250. Rhode Island held public forums during their
implementation process. These not only informed the
people who attended, but also generated coverage in
the press. Both States rated these efforts as successful.
California personnel made public appearances before
trade associations and also spoke at seminars put on
by consultants.
In order to use staff time efficiently, it is important
to "target" speeches to those groups most likely to
include underground tank owners. Appendix E lists
pertinent national associations that have regional,
State, or local chapters that you may wish to contact
for speech opportunities. Some events where these
groups can be reached are listed below and described
hi more detail in Appendix H. Any of these could be
useful locales for your speeches.
SPEECH OPPORTUNITIES
• Briefings • Conferences
• Workshops •
• Seminars
• Public forums
• Meetings
When properly educated, people other than your
State agency personnel can be used very effectively for
these speeches. Examples include fire department per-
sonnel, agricultural extension agents, personnel from
State agencies, and trade association members. Local,
city and county officials can also be important com-
municators for your program.
If you, like the other States, plan to use speeches
extensively, you may.want to develop some visual aids
such as a slide show or overhead transparencies. A
videotape is a more costly alternative that some States
are considering. More information on visual aids is in-
cluded in Appendix H.
Staff tune will be required to prepare speeches and
visual aids, and to travel and present speeches. Direct
costs for travel and preparing visual aids will also be
incurred.
An example speech and speech outline are included
in Appendix I.
RADIO AND TELEVISION
The broadcast media—radio and television—offer
several possibilities for publicizing your notification
program:
25
-------
• News programs
• Public affairs programs
• Public service announcements
• Commercials.
Of the three States that have implemented notifica-
tion, only California used radio and TV spots. Florida
and Rhode Island did not, although a Florida represen-
tative felt they might have been useful. There have been
suggestions that radio is a good way to reach people
in isolated areas. For example, farmers may listen to
certain stations that broadcast market and weather
reports aimed at their needs.
News Programs
When you prepare press releases for the newspapers
in your State, you can send them to radio and TV sta-
tions also. Radio stations typically have brief news
programs that may reach a different audience than
newspapers or TV. Frequently a radio or TV reporter
will call the contact on the press release for more in-
formation, and may record some statements for use
on a news show.
The cost of preparing press releases was discussed
earlier in this chapter.
Public Affairs Programs
If the public affairs director of a television or radio
station thinks the tank notification program would be
of interest to their audience, someone from the State
could be invited to be on a public affairs program. This
could be a talk show or interview, a panel discussion,
or perhaps a program where listeners phone in ques-
tions. This will provide a good opportunity for you to
reach additional tank owners.
The cost to appear on a public affairs program will
be nominal, involving only staff time and any travel
costs incurred.
Public Service Announcements
Radio and television stations are licensed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and they
must provide air time for public service programs as
part of the licensing requirements. Most stations have
a public affairs director who coordinates these ac-
tivities. Public service announcements (PSAs) thus of-
fer a relatively easy and economical way to reach a large
audience.
This chapter includes three example PSAs for use
by radio stations and three for television station use.
These PSAs vary in length and are timed to use 20
seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds of reading time.
The examples for use on television include suggestions
for slides to accompany the announcements. Further
suggestions for preparing PSAs are included in Appei;
dix H.

Example slide for re/evision PSA.
If you plan to use PSAs, staff time should be
allocated for writing the announcements and mailing
them to the stations. Preparation time and direct costs
are similar for radio and TV PSAs, except that slides
must be prepared for TV. Other costs will include copy-
ing and postage.
Commercials
If your State has a sizeable budget, commercial time
can be purchased to air the notification message. None
of the States that have implemented underground tank
notification programs purchased commercial radio or
TV time. The State of Florida did suggest that an-
nouncements on the early farm report might have been
helpful for communicating with small and rural
businesses.
One advantage of commercial announcements is the
ability to control the timing. For instance, it is known
that radio has more listeners during morning and even-
ing "drive times." (The commercial rates are highest
then, also.) Commercials can be spaced out so that
listeners will probably hear the same message several
times.
Another advantage of radio commercials is the abili-
ty to target the audience to reach more of the desired
listeners, such as tank owners. Appendix H offers more
information on this subject.
Purchased commercial time on radio and television
stations can be quite expensive, especially since repeti-
tion is desirable to increase the size of audience reach-
ed. Preparation time for commercials would be similar
to that for PSAs. Payments to the broadcast stations
could run into many thousands of dollars, depending
26
-------
9650.3
on the number of stations carrying your message. More
information on purchasing commercial time is included
in Appendix H.
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
If you want to be certain that your message is printed
in newspapers in your State, you could consider buy-
ing advertisements. Alabama used this method to an-
nounce an underground injection program in the State.
If you decide to use newspaper advertising, staff time
will be required to write the ads and send them to the
selected newspapers in your State. Costs to place the
ads will vary according to the size of the ads, how often
they are run, and the number of newspapers carrying
the ad.
OTHER COMMMUNICATION METHODS
Various organizations in your State may help you
"get the word out" on tank notification requirements.
Trade associations are prominent among these, and
their role in distribution of forms was discussed in
Chapter 3. They can also help communicate with tank
owners through meetings, journal articles, and
newsletters.
ORGANIZATIONS CAN HELP GET
THE WORD OUT
Fire departments
Local governments
League of Women Voters
Environmental groups
Trade associations
Chambers of Commerce
Service clubs
Youth groups
Local fire departments represent another group hav-
ing a vital interest in preventing leaks and spills. Rhode
Island had a State-wide advisory committee that in-
cluded the State Fire Marshal, trade associations, and
other groups. Through the State Fire Marshal's office,
fire chiefs1 newsletters were used for communication
and forms were distributed at the fire stations.
The National Fire Protection Association (NPFA)
has been awarded a grant by EPA to provide infor-
mation on the underground storage tank program to
State and local fire department personnel. NFPA will
be making nationwide telephone contact with State Fire
Marshals, doing a mass mailing to the nation's fire
departments, and preparing a video training program
for the fire departments. Your State Fire Marshal
should be a good source of information regarding
NFPA activities in your State.
California has stated that local governmental agen-
cies were helpful in their notification effort, and em-
phasized the importance of keeping local governments
updated. Suffolk County (Long Island), which recent-
ly implemented a tank notification program, also stress-
ed the importance of local action. In addition to cities,
towns, and counties, organizations such as Councils
of Mayors and the League of Cities may help inform
tank owners in your State. (It is worth noting that most
local governments own underground storage tanks
themselves.)
Other groups that could be helpful include Chambers
of Commerce, the League of Women Voters, en-
vironmental groups, service clubs, and youth groups.
SUMMING UP
Based on the experience of other States, the most
popular methods of communicating notification re-
quirements are:
• Press releases
• Fact sheets, brochures, and journal articles
• Speeches
• Other organizations, especially trade associa-
tions, fire departments, and local government
units.
These methods also have the advantage of being
relatively low in cost, with the possible exception of
printing large numbers of brochures.
Other methods that are relatively untested for this
type of program, but still merit your consideration,
include:
• Public service announcements on radio and TV
• Paid advertising
• Videotapes.
Public service announcements are not very costly, but
the other methods listed can cost thousands of dollars.
The table on page 32 summarizes communications costs
developed hi Appendix F for three different-sized
States.
Your choice of publicity media will depend on the
types of form distribution and collection you have
selected and your total budget. Based on others' ex-
periences, you will have the most success if you try to
use a variety of communication methods to reach the
diverse audience of underground tank owners.

APPENDIX E
CONTACTING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK OWNERS
Potential methods for direct contacts with
underground storage tank owners include:
• SIC Codes
• Trade associations
• Other State and local agencies
The appropriateness of these methods varies depen-
ding on the type of UST owner being contacted.
Although each one of the techniques described below
will greatly improve contact with many types of UST
owners, it is recommended that you use a combina-
tion of techniques along with general publicity on the
notification program.
Table £-1 matches categories of potential UST
owners with methods for contacting them. Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes, where relevant,
are listed for each category of UST owner. Then rele-
vant trade associations along with other likely methods
for contacting a particular group are listed. This table
should be used as a starting point only. Your State will
have its own unique agencies and associations that may
be able to assist you in reaching some categories of UST
owners. It may be useful to circulate Table E-l among
other State departments or agencies to obtain their sug-
gestions.
Addresses and other information about the associa-
tions listed in Table E-l can be found in Tables E-2,
E-3, and E-4.
SIC CODES
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes are
a standard set of codes developed by the Federal
government to classify all industries. SIC Codes can
be used to obtain lists of potential owners of USTs hi
your State. The limitations of SIC Codes should be
clearly recognized, however. The SIC system will not
necessarily correlate well with the industry descriptions
you are using. This is especially true for new industries.
For instance, there is no separate classification for con-
venience stores, and laundries must be described by five
SIC Codes to reach them all. In spite of these limita-
tions, SIC Codes can be a valuable tool for reaching
many categories. Florida used the SIC Codes to define
a mailing list that they purchased for a direct mailing
program. They targeted fleet operations (literally
anyone moving people or products). The SIC Code list
was then merged with lists from State agencies.
TRADE ASSOCIATIONS
Many UST owners belong to trade associations.
Associations vary in size depending on the type of
group they represent and on how completely they cover
the group they represent. Additionally, there may be
more than one association competing for the same
membership.
Trade associations having a national membership on-
ly may be of assistance to you. For example, they
should be able to provide a list of their membership
by State. They may also be the best way to contact some
specialized businesses. A list of national associations
is included in Table E-2. The associations' addresses,
information about their membership, and names of
their publications are included.
Although many trade associations are national in
scope, many have State, regional, or local chapters that
can be excellent resources for mailing lists. Table E-3
provides a list of trade associations having State or
regional affiliations along with addresses, telephone
numbers, information about the associations' member-
ship, and names of their publications. There may also
be some active regional associations in your State that
have no national affiliation. (The fishing industry is
an example.) These regional or State associations could
be good targets for press kits, as they may have newslet-
ters or other mailings to their membership.
Trade associations exist as a service to their member-
ship. If an association sees that it can help its member-
ship by providing them information on your State
notification program, or by providing you with a mail-
ing list so that all of their members can easily obtain
the notification form, they are likely to do so.
STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES
State and local agencies may be of assistance in con-
tacting particular groups of UST owners. Owners of
USTs are often regulated by some sector of govern-
ment. As regulations vary from State to State, you will
have to investigate your own State programs. Possi-
ble sources of UST owner lists-include a Bureau of
Weights and Measurements office, the Fire Marshal's
office, tax offices, and State import/export offices.
Table E-4 includes some other agencies that may be
of use in reaching particular types of UST owners.

ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS
Environmental groups can play a role in contacting
underground storage tank owners through publicity
they can generate or possibly even by distributing
forms. In addition, environmental groups may have
an interest in locating abandoned tanks. Table E-5 lists
national environmental groups and Table E-6 lists State
and regional environmental groups.
USING THIS APPENDIX
As as example of how to use this appendix, assume
that you want to contact all airports and airlines in your
State.. This category of UST owner is listed under
"Transportation Services" in Table E-4. An SIC is
listed; this could be used for purchasing a mailing list
(see Appendix G).
Four trade associations are listed: two are national
and two have State or regional affiliations. These can
be looked up in Tables E-2 and E-3. If the descriptions
of membership sound useful, you can call or write
(phone numbers and addresses are provided) to see if
these organizations can provide lists of members in
your State.
Another contact—the Federal Aviation
Administration—is listed. This agency is another possi-
ble source of information on airports and airlines.
By using a combination of the sources in Table E-1,
it should be possible to reach tank owners in each rele-
vant category in your State.

APPENDIX F
BUDGETING THE NOTIFICATION PROGRAM
In preparing a program budget, two types of costs
should be considered: staff time and direct out-of-
pocket costs. This appendix includes a step-by-step pro-
cedure for estimating costs of the various methods of
form distribution and collection and communication
discussed in this handbook. It is not likely that any
State will use all of these methods; however, the
budgeting exercise should provide some guidance hi
selecting methods within the State's budget.
The cost estimates included in the chapters of this
handbook were based on actual experience in other
States when available; however, the States often do not
have these costs accounted for in detail. In that case,
costs were estimated based on other available data.
The cost tables in the chapters of this handbook show
a range of costs. Three hypothetical States were used
in calculating these ranges. Although the States are
"hypothetical," they are-based on actual States, as
follows. The "low" cost example was based on a
western State having a sparse population and not much
industrial development. The "medium" cost example
is based on a midwestern State that is partly rural and
partly industrialized. The "high" cost example is bas
ed on another midwestern State having a much larger
population and heavier industrialization. Data for the
example States are summarized below. Numbers were
rounded for convenience.
USING THIS APPENDIX
This appendix can be used as a worksheet for
estimating program costs. Each activity described
this handbook (e.g., direct mail distribution of forms)
has a "fill in the blanks" section itemizing expenditures
of staff time and direct costs. This section is followed
by an example cost estimate worked out based on
assumptions for the medium-cost State described
earlier.
This appendix should be used as a guide only. Un-
doubtedly you will want to make adjustments based
on circumstances in your State. This outline of costs
should, however, help you avoid overlooking a cost
item that could otherwise surprise you later in the
program.

PENDKG
SENDING A MASS MAILING
Direct mall (mass mailing to large groups of peo-
ple) is one of the primary methods that have been used
for distribution of notification forms to underground
storage tank owners. Direct mailing can also be used
to send information to UST owners (with or without
including forms).
If you have decided to use direct mail in your
notification program, this appendix offers some infor-
mation to make the task easier.
DEVELOPING A MAILING LIST
The mailing list for this program should include as
many UST owners as possible.'The list of potential tank
owners hi Appendix D can help you determine the
categories applicable in your State. Every State has
petroleum-related tanks, and most States have at least
some of the listed industries.
Mailing lists can be developed internally, pur-
chased from mailing services, or obtained from other
organizations. These alternatives are discussed in detail
|n subsequent sections.
In-house and Other State Resources
Direct-mail lists can be developed internally. Lists
from other departments or agencies in the State can
be combined to form a more comprehensive list. These
agencies might be those responsible for weights and
measures (at service stations, for instance), licensing
agencies (e.g., for morticians), port authorities, depart-
ments of agriculture, or others.
A special category of the in-house list includes those
persons who have called or written to your agency to
request forms. Provisions should be made to accom-
modate those requests and add the names to the per-
manent list.
Commercial Mailing Services
It is possible to "buy" the use of a mailing list on
a one-time basis. These rentals are done through list
brokers, who act as clearinghouses for rental lists and
as consultants on lists.
There are two types of direct-mail lists: compiled
and mail-derived. Compiled lists are gathered from
published sources; mail-derived lists are gathered from
the return of mail orders, brochure requests, etc. The
lists can be rented by paying a price per thousand
names; therefore, the target audience must be specified.
The SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) system is
a useful means of categorizing the target audience; it
is used by many governmental and private agencies.
Choosing the appropriate SIC Codes for the target au-
dience will help streamline the process of developing
a mailing list. Appendix E lists SIC Codes for target
groups of potential UST owners when available. These
Codes can be used when ordering lists from list brokers.
Finding the Services. In large cities names of direct-
mail companies can be found hi the Yellow Pages of
the telephone book under "Mail Lists.'1 Another
source of these companies is Standard Rate and Data
Service, available in many public libraries. The SRDS
volume for direct-mail lists and data gives the names
of direct-mail companies sorted according to a master
index section. The index is arranged^by subject
classification. By choosing your target audience, the
appropriate list or lists can be more easily selected.
Directories of company names and addresses are
available on-line from computer information retrieval
services. These directories typically are classified by SIC
Codes and are updated quarterly or semi annually.
Local libraries may have access to this service through
their computer systems. Other sources for computer'
searches are the State universities and colleges and State
libraries; due to State funding, some computer search
time may be available free of charge for the appropriate
State agency. Normally, a fee is charged when the
search is done, the cost being based on the amount of
computer time used and the number of records printed.
Guarantees regarding percent deliverable juid list
sources should be investigated before using the service.
Avoiding Duplicate Names. Many of the lists are
now computerized and available on magnetic tape or
floppy disks. If several lists are needed, the availabil-
ity on magnetic or floppy disks is important. Merging
the lists together and then purging any duplicate names
saves on repeat mailings. The cost of the merge/purge
technique should be considered compared to the cost
of sending the duplicates.
A warning is given hi Standard Rate and Data Ser-
vice on the duplication of names, C»ften companies pool
resources to compile their lists, but then sell the lists
individually under different tides. To correct this prob-
lem, it is wise for the list renter to ask questions con-
cerning the source of the list and about the list owner's
identification. Large orders should have the
merge/purge technique used on them.
107
-------
Other Organizations
Organizations such as trade associations and
chambers of commerce, which often include tank
owners among their members, are a potential source
of mailing list information, based on membership lists
and mailing lists from their publications and journals.
Furthermore, each such organization potentially can
provide a means of reaching hundreds of tank owners
through a single contact.
By selecting appropriate trade organizations, tank
owners can be reasonably targeted for direct mailing.
Additionally, the trade associations may be good
targets for a direct-mail package. Associations can be
selected from the Encyclopedia of Associations or from
a State directory of associations available through a
State chamber of commerce, State department of
economic development, or similar source. Appendix
£ contains lists of associations that may have members
who own underground tanks. The appendix defines
which national trade associations have State or regional
chapters.
National or State trade associations may provide a
list of members in the State or a copy of the associa-
tion's membership directory. Unfortunately, some
associations have indicated that they will not give out
a list of their members. Others will not disclose their
membership, but will send information to their
members if the State will pay costs; others are only will-
ing to provide coverage in their journals and
newsletters.
Cooperation can often be gained from a trade
association if its officials are convinced that a
cooperative relationship will serve its members' best
interests. California, however, dealt with dozens of
trade associations, but .received a membership list from
only one. If the cooperation of trade associations can
be gained and held, program implementation will be
facilitated.
ADDRESSING DIRECT MAIL
If you develop mailing lists in-house, no doubt you
wiO also be addressing envelopes. If you purchase mail-
ing lists, however, you may want to purchase labels
or other helpful aids as well.
If a list is purchased, "Cheshire" or ungumraed
labels for use.with machine application may be
available for no extra charge. Pressure-sensitive (peel
and stick) labels are also available, at an additional cost
per thousand. The list may also be provided on
magnetic tapes or floppy disks for in-house printing.
Index cards are also available at an additional charge.
Checking with the list seller is advised; costs and list
formats available for the list in question will vary with
the supplier.
COSTS OF DIRECT MAILING
In addition to preparing the material to be mailed
(forms, letters), other costs will be incurred for the
direct mailing. You should consider the following kinds
of costs:
• Assembling the mailing list
• Addressing, folding, and stuffing the material
into envelopes
• Envelopes
• Postage.
Assembling the Mailing List
If you obtain a mailing list from other departments
of the State government, such as the department of
revenue, weights and measures, etc., then the list may
be essentially free. However, there is likely to be some
overlap of lists, which will take time to purge of
duplicates. If the list is not purged for duplicates, un-
necessary costs for printed material and postage are
incurred.
Mailing lists based on SIC Codes may be rented for
one-time mailings from brokers for $35-5120 per 1,000
names. Rates are available from Standard Rate and
Data Service or from individual companies. If more
than one list is purchased from the same company, the
lists may be merged and purged of duplicates by the
company at no additional cost.
Rented lists may be combined with lists generated
from other sources by hand or by computer. The rented
lists may be obtained on magnetic tape or floppy disks
to assist in computer sorts. For their notification pro-
gram, the State of Florida combined and sorted four
separate overlapping lists (38,500 total), including a
purchased SIC list, using S3 hours of in-house com-
puter time at a cost of $5,900. Then- purchased list of
15,000 names cost approximately $1,800.
Addressing, Folding, and Staffing
The cost of getting the material ready to mail is
primarily a time cost. The actual time required per
1,000 pieces of mail depends on the form of the mail
list, i.e., typed list, gummed labels, etc., and on the
amount of folding, stapling, and envelope stuffing
done.
106
-------
9650.3
Envelopes
The purchase of envelopes will of course be a cost
factor. Costs will be affected by envelope size and
whether or not your agency chooses to print its return
address and logo on the outside. (See Chapter 3.) In-
clusion of a return envelope and printing the agency's
address on it will also be a cost factor.
Postage
The amount of postage required depends on the kind
of mail and size of your mailing. If the mailing is small
(less than 200 pieces per mailing) or personalized, it
should be sent first class. However, if there are over
200 pieces per mailing/bundled by zip code, you can
reaii/e a considerable savings by using third class mail.
The bulk postage rate in 1985 is 12/2 cents per piece
under 3.5 ounces after paying a $50 per year fee. By
comparison, a 3.5-ounce first class mailing costs 73
cents each.
SUMMING UP
If you decide to do a mass mailing, you should be
prepared to develop a mailing list and to implement
a system for addressing large quantities of mail, in ad-
dition to developing the materials that will be
distributed by the mailing. Costs for a mass mailing
can be high, but savings can be realized through careful
planning for the material mailed, use of in-house
sources of mailing lists where possible, and careful
targeting of the mailing to potential UST owners.

APPENDIX H
PUBLICIZING THE NOTIFICATION PROGRAM
Chapter 4 of this handbook describes tried and tested
methods for publicizing your program. Most of the
publicity methods described have been successfully used
by other States in implementing their notification
programs.
This appendix includes supplementary information
on the most basic tools of publicity: press releases,
speeches, and radio and television announcements. In
addition, a list of resources that may be helpful to you
is included at the end of the appendix.
PRESS RELEASES
Photographs and press kits are two methods for
enhancing the effectiveness of your press releases. Some
suggestions for their use are included in this section.
Photographs
Press releases sent to newspapers may attract more
attention if they are accompanied by photographs. In
many instances, however, the newspapers may prefer
to take their own photographs. If you do include a
photo with the press release, it should be a glossy black
and white print at least 5 by 7 inches in size, identifica-
tion should be typed on a piece of paper and taped to
Che back of the photo. The photo should not be dama-
ged by bending, paper clipping, stapling, or marking.
When mailing, the photo should be protected with
cardboard.
Ideas for photographic subjects could include the
damaging effects of a leaking underground storage
tank, a State or local official announcing the notifica-
tion program, notification forms being distributed, or
the featured speaker at an informational meeting or
seminar.
Press Kits
Reporters generally like to write their own stories
rather than use a press release verbatim. To provide
reporters with good background information, you may
want to provide a press kit. This could include a fact
sheet or brochure with complete information on the
notification program, perhaps including information
on the entire underground storage tank program. A
photo and a relatively short press release could be in-
cluded as well. This kit should be seat out in plenty
of time (two weeks or more) for a reporter to write
» complete story, making personal contacts if desired.
SPEECHES
As described in Chapter 4, speeches are an essential
pan of an informational program. This section of the
appendix provides an expanded discussion of various
opportunities for speech-making. In addition, sugges-
tions for preparing visual aids are included.
Speech Opportunities
Briefings are generally given by one or more
knowledgeable people to inform others who are in a
position to take some action. Thus your State agency
personnel may brief other State personnel, or they may
brief other groups—fire chiefs, local officials, trade
associations, agricultural agents—that can in turn com-
municate tank notification requirements around the
State.
Workshops and seminars are generally held to
educate groups of people. Typically the speakers come
from a variety of organizations and areas of expertise
to discuss the general topic. Your State agency could
sponsor one or more workshops or seminars on tank
notification around the State, involving many groups.
These should be planned to reach key people, who can
in turn inform others.
Conferences are usually scheduled events held an-
nually or on some other set schedule by various groups.
Your State agency could provide speakers on tank
notification requirements at any relevant conferences
around the State. Good contacts with trade associa-
tions, environmental groups, and other organizations
should yield invitations to speak at these evects.
Meetings are held regularly by many groups that may
include storage tank owners. These could include trade
associations; Farm Bureau or other fanners' groups;
community organizations such as Rotary or Kiwanis;
chambers of commerce; State or local government
agencies that may have motor pools or other reasons
for having USTs; and organizations of government of-
ficials such as Councils of Mayors and the National
Association of Counties. Other groups may have an
interest hi locating underground storage tanks, even
if they own none. Examples of these groups include
the League of Women Voters, school organizations,
and environmental groups.
It would be difficult for your State personnel to reach
all these groups, but by training other speakers at brief-
ings, workshops, or seminars, effectiveness can be
multiplied.

Who
To Notify
The notification forms must be sent to the
designated state agency that has jurisdiction
over the area in which the underground storage
tank is located. In the Federal Register of
November 8, 1985, EPA published notification
forms along with the names of state agencies
designated to receive them. Some states have
chosen to require additional information and are
using separate state forms or addenda to the
EPA form. Owners of underground storage tanks
may call EPA Regional Offices to obtain the
name of the appropriate agency in each state to
contact for forms and information.
The
Penalties
As a means of enforcing the notification
requirements, a penalty not to exceed Si0,000
can be assessed for each tank for which
notification is not given or for which false
information is submitted.

rphere are from three to five million
X underground storage tanks in the United States
that contain hazardous substances or petroleum
products. Thousands of tanks are presently
leaking, and many more are expected to leak
within the next 5* years.
In response to this problem. Congress passed
amendments to the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) in November 1984. This
new legislation—the Hazardous and" Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984—contains a new RCRA
provision which creates a program to control
and prevent releases from underground storage
tanks (USTs).
To assist the states in locating and evaluating
underground storage tanks, Congress included
requirements for owners of such tanks to notify
designated state or local agencies.
Substances
Covered
The notification requirements apply to
underground storage tanks that contain
regulated substances. This includes all
petroleum products (including crude oil) and
all substances defined as hazardous under the
Superfund legislation, except substances already
regulated as hazardous wastes under Subtitle C
of RCRA. (Note: A list of covered substances
may be obtained from EPA offices or from the
list of CERCLA* hazardous substances that
appeared in the Federal Register on April 4.
1985 (50 FR 13456].)
Who Must
Notify
Owners must notify if their underground storage
tanks are used to store or dispense regulated
substances on or after November 8.1984. For
underground storage tanks taken out of use
between January 1,1974, and November 8,1984.
any person who owned such a tank immediately
before the discontinuation of its use must notify
the designated state agency. (Note: Owners do
not have to notify if they already have provided
notice to EPA of their tanks pursuant to
CERCLA section 103(c) or if they know that their
tanks have been removed from the ground.)
To ensure that owners of underground storage
tanks are informed of their responsibility to
notify, Congress imposed certain obligations on
CMopnbMtiv* Environment*! fUtpooM. CompMuttion. and
Utility Act of 1MO
tank sellers and on persons who deposit
regulated substances in tanks. From December 8.
1985 though June 8.1987. anyone depositing
regulated substances in an underground
storage tank must inform the owners or
operators of such tanks of the notification
responsibility. Beginning 30 days after EPA
issues new-tank performance standards
(sometime in 1987) sellers of underground
storage tanks must inform tank purchasers of the
notification requirements.
Tanks
Covered
As defined in the new law. "underground
storage tank" includes any one or combination
of tanks that (1) are used to contain an
accumulation of "regulated substances." and (2)
whose volumes (including connected piping) are
ten percent or more beneath the ground.
Subtitle I exempts certain facilities. These
exemptions include farm and residential tanks of
less than 1.100 gallons storing motor fuel for
noncommercial purposes: on-site heating oil
storage tanks: septic tanks: pipelines regulated
under other authorities: surface impoundments.
pits, ponds, or lagoons: storm water or
wastewater collection systems: flow-through
process tanks: liquid traps or associated
gathering operations: and storage tanks in an
underground area (such as in a basement), but
above the surface of the floor.
When
To Notify
Owners of underground storage tanks in use
must notify by May 8, 1986. and provide
information about the age. size, type, location.
and use of each tank.
Owners who bring underground storage tanks
into use after May 8,1986, must notify within
30 days of bringing the tanks into use and
include information on the age, size, type.
location, and use of such tanks.
Owners of underground storage tanks taken out
of operation after January 1. 1974. but still in
the ground, must notify by May 8,1986. Owners
of these tanks are also required to provide, to
the extent known, information on the date the
tank was taken out of operation; the age of the
tank on the date taken out of operation: the size,
type, and location of the tank; and the type and
quantity of substances left stored in such tank
on the date taken out of operation.

UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS:
THE FEDERAL NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
-INTRODUCTION
There are from three to five million underground storage
tanks in the United States that contain hazardous substances
or petroleum products. Thousands of tanks are presently leaking
and many more are expected to leak in the next five to ten years.
On November 8, 1984, President Reagan signed the Hazardous and
Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (P.L. 98-616), extending and
strengthening provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), the Federal law protecting human health and the
environment from improper waste management practices. One of the
new RCRA provisions, Subtitle I, calls for a program to control
leaks from underground storage tanks (UST). The Federal UST
program applies to underground tanks that store petroleum,
including gasoline crude oil, and used oil. It also regulates
tanks storing substances defined as hazardous under the Compre-
hensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA). Tanks storing hazardous wastes, which are regulated
under Subtitle C of RCRA,. are not covered.
An underground storage tank is defined as any tank (including
connected piping) with 10 percent or more of its volume below
ground, with the following exceptions: farm and residential
motor fuel tanks of less than 1,100 gallons capacity; tanks
storing heating oil that is consumed on-site; septic tanks;
pipelines regulated under other laws; systems for collecting
storm water and wastewater; flow-through process tanks; liquid
traps or associated gathering lines related to operations in the
oil and natural gas industry; and tanks in an underground area,
such as a basement, if the tank is above or on the surface of the
floor.
The UST legislation was developed by Congress in response
to a growing number of groundwater contamination incidents that
were caused by products leaking from underground storage tanks.
As a first step to assist States in evaluating the magnitude of
this problem, Congress establised UST notification requirements.
These require UST owners to provide information such as the age,
size, and uses of their tanks. This data will be used in analyzing
the scope of the UST problem and will help EPA and the States to
develop reasonable regulations for new and existing tanks. Future
rules will cover such areas as tank design and construction;
leak detection and recordkeeping; and clean up where leaks have
occurred.
Table 1 provides a summary of the notification provisions
that were signed into law. These requirements apply principally
to owners of underground storage tanks that have been used to
store regulated substances on or after November 8, 1984. They
EXAMPLE JOURNAL ARTICLE
-------
(2)
also apply to owners of underground storage tanks that were
taken out of service (but left in the ground) after January 1,
1974.
EPA'S ROLE
The notification provisions provide that EPA prescribe the
form of the notice and the information to be contained in it.
The legislation also provided that the State or local governments,
not EPA/ receive the notification forms. On May 28, 1985, the
EPA proposed notification regulations that essentially codified
the UST statutory requirements. The Agency also proposed notifi-
cation forms for owners of underground storage tanks. The use
of the Federal forms would be mandatory in all States except in
those that have developed comparable State forms. To be certain
which notification form should be used, tank owners should contact
the appropriate State agency designated to receive the forms.
Table 2 provides a list of these agencies. EPA is assisting
States in communicating the notification requirements through
an extensive public outreach effort that has involved represen-
tatives of State and local governments, environmental groups,
industry, and trade associations. EPA is also helping State
programs responsible for UST notification with a variety of
public education tools — brochures, slide shows, and video
programs.
STATES' ROLE
The extent to which a State will participate in the implemen-
tation of the notification requirements may depend on how important
it is for the State to obtain an accurate inventory of the tanks
within its borders. Some States may determine that their only
legal obligation is to designate an agency to receive the notifi-
cation forms, and will not take further steps to ensure that
notices are received and processed into a useful inventory.
Other States, particularly those-with significant numbers of
tanks or with grour.dwater supply or contamination problems, may
take a more positive stance to allow them to respond to this
emerging environmental problem. A few States are well under way
in the implementation of notification programs. Instead of
waiting for EPA to prescribe a notification form, they have
developed their own forms and systems to process the forms.
A major undertaking by the States will be to communicate the
notification requirements to the regulated public and to distribute
the forms. Those States that have already implemented notification
programs as well as those that are developing programs realize
that increased public awareness and response to UST regulations
depend upon an effective communications strategy. States have
identified a number of useful communication tools: workshops,
press releases, direct mail, and public forums. The most effective
tool seems, however, to be the use of trade associations, to
communicate the UST regulatory requirements to the affected

public. This is due to the number and diversity of regulated
tanks that exist over a wide range of industry segments. Many
States, in fact, view the participation of trade associations as
essential and plan to rely on them extensively to reach tank
owners.
CONCLUSIONS
It is obvious that registering and regulating underground
storage tanks add to paperwork and take time and effort away from
running a business. But many benefits can be derived from the
program. Complete and accurate information on the notification
forms will provide States with the data necessary for adopting
regulations that are sensible and that impose an appropriate
degree of control. Such controls may ultimately prevent loss of
product, limit owner liability, and increase insurability. Leaks
from tanks can contaminate ground water, which may lead to law-
suits and cleanup costs. The sooner problems are identified,
of course, the less expensive they are to clean up. Finally,
noncompliance with the program to control underground storage
tanks carries heavy civil penalties a strong economic incentive.

THE UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK NOTIFICATION PROGRAM
A new law enacted by Congress last year will affect nearly everyone
who owns an underground storage tank containing petroleum products or
other hazardous substances. This law, which was prompted by concern for
our environment, requires tank owners to notify the State in the near
future. Other requirements will follow in the next few-years.
If you watch TV or read the newspapers, you probably have heard of
instances in which leaks of hazardous substances from underground storage
tanks have endangered human health and the environment. In Dover-Walpole,
Massachusetts, for example, over 3,000 gallons of gasoline leaking from a
service station contaminated 15 private wells in 1981. In another instance,
an estimated 17 million gallons of gasoline, fuel oil, and naphtha lie be-
neath a large section of Brooklyn, New York as the result of accumulated
storage tank leaks over a period of many years.
On the other side of the country, toxic chemical leaks from underground
storage tanks in San Jose, California—Silicon Valley—have been found at 30
different sites. Some of the chemicals are suspected carcinogens, and studies
have shown a higher-than-normal incidence of miscarriages in the area.
The direct and indirect costs of these leaks can be tremendous. In
the Dover-Walpole case, the owner of the service station has provided the
residents with bottled water for drinking and installed filters in homes
to clean up the water for other uses. The company has paid about 1.25
million dollars thus far for engineering, soil excavation, and removal,
product recovery, and extension of the town water mains. Property damage
suits are still outstanding. In the Brooklyn instance, an estimated 5
million dollars has been spent on product recovery alone. Following a
gasoline leak that caused an explosion in Northglenn, a suburb of Denver,
-s
Colorado, a Federal court forced the service station owner to purchase 41
homes at 2.2 times their appraised value. The company is estimated to have
spent over 10 million dollars.

Leaks from underground storage tanks can:
Harm public health
• Damage our environment
Cost money
o
Co
-------
If a company or individual tank owner cannot pay the cost of cleanup,
then the taxpayers usually pay. Therefore we can all be affected, at
least indirectly, by leakage incidents.
These are just a few examples of the kinds of incidents that have
prompted Congress and many of the States to require programs to control
underground tank leaks. The problem is large—the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency has estimated that there are more than one million under-
ground storage tanks in the United States containing hazardous substances
or petroleum products, and that up to one-half of these tanks
are either leaking now or expected to leak in the next few years.
The new law governing underground storage tanks is pact of the 1984
Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. These amendments
require several things:
1. After May 1985, new underground storage tanks containing
regulated substances may not be 'installed unless they
are protected against corrosion, are structurally sound,
and are compatible with the material to be placed inside
them. (This is called the Interim Prohibition.)
2. Owners of underground storage tanks containing regulated
substances must notify the designated State agency by
May 8, 1986. (This will be"explained in detail later.)
3. EPA oust develop new tank performance standards by
February 1987 for tanks holding petroleum products,
and by August 1987 for tanks holding hazardous
chemicals.
4. EPA must develop regulations governing leak detection.
leak cleanup, recordkeeping. closure of tanks, and
reporting of leaks by February 1987 for tanks holding
-v
petroleum products, and by August 1988 for tanks hold-"
ing hazardous chemicals.

The main topic for today is the notification program, which is of
immediate concern to underground storage tank owners and the State.
First, we should review how Congress defined some important terms.
The new law applies to underground storage tanks that (1) are used
to contain an accumulation of regulated substances; and (2) whose volume
(including connected piping) is 10 percent or more beneath the ground.
Certain facilities are exempted. These exemptions include hazardous
waste tanks, farm and residential tanks of less than 1,100 gallons stor-
ing motor fuel for noncommercial purposes; on-site heating oil storage
tanks; septic tanks; pipelines regulated under other authorities; surface
impoundments, pits, ponds, or lagoons; storm water or wastewater collec-
'tion systems; flow-through process tanks; liquid traps or associated
gathering operations; and storage tanks in an underground area (such as
in a basement but above the surface of the floor).
The notification requirements apply to underground storage tanks that
contain regulated substances. This includes liquid petroleum products and
all substances defined as hazardous under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (usually called Superfund)
The law covers almost all chemicals including gasoline, diesel fuel, and
industrial solvents.
Owners of underground storage tanks used to store or dispense regulated
substances on or after November 8, 1984 must notify the State agency. For
underground storage tanks in use after January 1, 1974. but taken out of
service before November 8, 1984, the person who owned the tank immediately
before the discontinuance of its use must notify the State agency.

9650.3
To enforce the notification requirements, Congress provided for a civil
penalty of up to 10 thousand dollars for each tank for which notification is
not given or for which false information is submitted.
The only requirement that Congress placed on the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency was the development of the notification form, this form
was published in November 1985. It includes space to provide Information
about the age, size, type, location, and use of each tank, as required by
Congress.
The States were required by Congress to receive the underground
storage tank notification forms. The Agency conducting the program in
our State is .
[At this point information on your State's program should be inserted.
If time is limited, it is preferable to maximize the amount of detail de-
voted to the specifics of your State program rather than the more general
information.
A suggested outline for your State Notification Program is:
- Agency responsible
- Where to get forms
- How to fill out forms
- Where to send forms
- How to get further information]
In summary, leaks of hazardous substances from underground storage
tanks can be a serious threat to public health and to the environment.
Steps are being taken both nationally and in (name of State) to correct
these problems. The notification program is the first step in this ef-
fort, and cooperation will ultimately be beneficial to all.
(End)
-------
Notification forms due:
• By May 8, 1986 for
- Tanks in use
- Tanks taken out of operation
after 1973 but still in the
ground
• Within 30 days for new or used tanks
placed in the ground after May 8, 1986
-------
9650.3
The timing and content of the notification was also set by Congress.
Owners of underground storage tanks in use mist notify the State by May 8,
1986. Owners who bring underground storage tanks into use after May 8, 1986,
mist notify the State within 30 days of bringing the tanks into use. Owners
of underground storage tanks taken out of operation after January 1, 1974,
but still in the ground, oust notify the State by May 8, 1986. Owners of
these tanks are also required to provide, to the extent known, information
on the date the tank was taken out of operation; the age of the tank on the
date taken out of operation; the size, type, and location of the tank; and
the type and quantity of substances left stored in the tank on the date
taken out of operation.
Obviously owners of underground storage tanks oust be informed about
their responsibility to'notify the State. As one means of spreading the
word, Congress requires people who deposit regulated substances in under-
ground storage tanks and sellers, of underground storage tanks to inform
tank owners of their notification responsibilities.
From December 8, 1985, through June 8, 1987, anyone depositing regulated
substances in an underground storage tank must notify the owner or operator
of the tanks of the owner's notification responsibilities. This means that
a gasoline jobber, for example, must in some manner tell the owner or oper-
ator of each service station he supplies about the notification requirement.
This might be done by providing a statement on the invoice describing the
notification requirements, or by leaving a copy of the notification form
with the tank owner.
Beginning 30 days after the U.S. EPA issues new tank performance
standards, those selling underground storage tanks have to inform the
purchasers of these tanks of the owner's notification requirements.
This is scheduled to be in February 1987 for tanks holding petroleum
products and in August 1987 for tanks holding hazardous chemicals. This
also might be done by a notice on the invoices or by leaving a copy of the
notification form with the tank purchaser.

9650.3
Radio and television offer opportunities to appear
on talk shows or give interviews on tank notification.
Press conferences provide an opportunity to reach
the newspapers, radio, and television shows with in-
formation. Press conferences should be used for ma-
jor announcements; California used this method to an-
nounce the beginning of their tank registration pro-
gram. A "big name" will help attract attention. Press
releases and phone calls to editors and broadcast sta-
tions should precede the press conference by a week.
Booths and displays at fairs, conferences, or other
gatherings provide another opportunity to discuss
notification with people. This requires some effort and
production of materials to hand out, but may be ef-
fective if the site is well chosen.
Visual Aids
Speeches can often be made more interesting and
easier to give with the use of visual aids. This section
includes some suggestions for these.
Slides are probably the most popular visual aids for
speeches. A slide show with a prepared script can even
be used by a relatively inexperienced or uninformed
speaker. (Questions may be a problem in that situa-
tion, however.) Many speakers like slide shows because
they can be edited or stopped for questions.
Some general guidelines for slide shows are:
1. Write the script first, then select or make slides
to illustrate it.
2. Use action shots if possible to make the show
more interesting.
3. Use word slides with action shots to give in-
formation and provide a change of pace.
. Overhead transparencies are also popular visual aids
frequently used by speakers. An advantage of overhead
projectors is the ability to keep the lights on, and the
speaker can face the audience. Also, transparencies
may have a cost advantage, as they can be made in-
house on many copy machines. A good original will
produce a good transparency.
While most groups have a projector to show
35-millimeter slides, overhead transparencies require
a special projector. This should be taken into account
when planning your speech opportunities.
Videotapes have been suggested as a means of com-
municating notification requirements, but these would
be relatively expensive for your State to provide.
Videotapes can, however, be sent to meetings instead
of a person to give a speech, thus saving tune and travel
expenses. You will probably want to check with your
State Fire Marshal regarding the National Fire Pro-
tection Association videotapes.
Pamphlets, brochures, and fact sheets can be very
useful supplements to speeches. They can be handed
out so that people in the audience have factual material
to take home with them.

If your State has a public relations department, they
can probably assist you hi writing and distributing
PSAs. If you must prepare the PSAs yourself and have
not'had experience along these lines, there are some
general rules to follow-
• Type triple space on white or light-colored bond
or letterhead paper. Leave generous margins.
• If letterhead is not used, type your Agency's
name and address at the top of the page. Add
a contact name and telephone number.
• Type PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
at the top of the page. Add FOR IM-
MEDIATE RELEASE or specify dates for •
use.
• Type the time the spot will take to read.
Allow 10 seconds of reading time for every 20
to 25 words. Standard lengths for PSAs are
10, 20, 30, and 60 seconds.
• Use simple words that will sound natural when
read aloud. Try reading the announcement
yourself.
• Give all the facts—who, what, when, where,
and why.
• Include slides for television PSAs. As a rule of
thumb, one slide should be furnished for each
10 seconds of spoken words. Pictures for the
slides should be appropriate for your State.
• Submit several copies of each announcement.
• Submit PSAs well in advance of the desired
dates for broadcast—10 days would be
advisable.
• Include a fact sheet or brochure so the public
service director can understand the need for
the PSA.

Targeting the Audience
Radio offers an unique ability to target an audience.
While most newspapers and the network TV stations
try to appeal to a broad spectrum of tastes, radio sta-
tions tend to specialize. Owners of underground storage
tanks are not a homogeneous group, but some targeting
can be done, especially if your resources are limited.
Broadcasting Yearbook, a source listed at the end of
this appendix, gives information on the type of pro-
gramming each radio station offers.
If your State can afford to purchase commercial tune
on radio or TV, a tradeoff will have to be made bet-
ween cost and size of audience reached. Standard Rate
and Data Service, a standard reference available at large
libraries, will provide advertising rates for radio and
TV stations in your State.
Costs of Commercial Time
If you intend to use commercial announcements (for
radio, as well as TV and newspapers), it may be ad-
visable to develop the announcements with the help of
an advertising agency. Many advertising agencies make
no charge for writing copy and preparing layouts in
connection with commissionable advertising. Others,
however, charge the client at cost plus a percentage (15
to 18 percent).
The costs for radio advertising vary considerably
with the type of station and the time of day the com-
mercial is aired. The morning drive time (5 a.m. to 10
a.m.) is the most expensive. A commercial hi this time
slot can range in cost from as much as $450 per minute
on a major station to as low as $15 on a small subur-
ban station. Afternoon drive times are also expensive.
Costs drop considerably for daytime and evening
broadcasts.
Buying advertising time from individual television
stations (as opposed to networks) is referred to as spot
television. In spot television, the advertising rates vary
by time-of-day, by markets, and by stations, usually
at a rate related to the market share of the station.
When advertising hi a number of these time periods,
the sum of the rating points is referred to as die gross
rating points (GRP). Advertising rates are often ex-
pressed in terms of dollars per 100 Household GRPs
for a 30-second spot. It is not unusual to spend several
thousand dollars for a 30-second prime time spot on
a station with a large market share in one of the better
market areas. Specific advertising rates for local TV
stations are available from Standard Rate and Data
Service.

APPENDIX I
EXAMPLE PUBLICITY TOOLS
This appendix includes examples of some publicity
tools that can be adapted for use in your State. A fact
sheet, journal article, speech, and brochure are
included.
FACT SHEET
The two-page fact sheet shown here was developed by
EPA; it is designed to be folded like a brochure. You
should be able to adapt this for your own use by adding
details about your State implementation program.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
The article shown here was prepared as an example.
If you decide to send articles to magazines, newslet-
ters, or journals in your State, you could adapt this
article to make it more specific to the type of publica-
tion you are writing for. It would also be desirable to
include some pictures relevant to your State.
SPEECH
This appendix includes an example of a speech on
notification, along with an outline. Some example word
texts for slides or overhead transparencies that might
be used are also included. Other slides, such as scenes
of the environment that can be damaged or leaking
tanks being removed from the ground in your State,
would also be helpful.
This example speech was written for an audience that
may have very little knowledge of environmental issues,
environmental regulations, or the specific roles of EPA
or the responsible State agency. For example, audiences
could be members of a trade association, local elected
public officials, chambers of commerce, civic organiza-
tions, or fanners' organizations.
The speech included here is "generic" in the infor-
mation presented. It will be necessary for you to add
details about the specific program in your State. Hand-
outs such as brochures, fact sheets, or copies of the
notification form will help the audience understand the
program.
The example speech included here will take approx-
imately 20 minutes to deliver if adequate State program
information is added.
BROCHURE
The brochure included as an example was developed
by the New England Interstate Water Pollution Con-
trol Commission, which received an EPA grant to per-
form the work. This brochure illustrates an 8'/i by
14-inch folded format, which can easily be mailed or
handed out at meetings. The information presented is
general, not specific to notification.
