State by State Guide to UST Regulations

On October 13, 2015, EPA finalized the first significant changes to the federal UST regulations since 1988. All states were tasked with updating their UST regulations to be “no less protective” than EPA’s regulations

The overview of regulations provided in this table is for informational purposes only. Because of the summary nature of the table, it cannot capture all the nuances of the relevant regulations. It may therefore be important to consult the regulations directly and/or to seek professional advice on particular issues as they may arise.
