Book Description
The December 22, 1998 deadline requiring owners of underground storage tanks (USTs) installed before 1985 to comply with the upgrade requirements in Subchapter IX of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) recently passed. As a result, UST enforcement actions should dramatically increase this year. Prior to the deadline, only new USTs installed beginning in 1985 faced Subchapter IX corrosion protection and spill/overflow prevention requirements. The large number of federal facilities tanks involved makes potential federal penalties a significant issue. According to information submitted by the federal agencies to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last Fall, federal facilities contain over 13,000 active USTs.3 State attempts at penalty enforcement actions for UST new tank violations by federal facilities have been rare, but the pace of UST enforcement may begin to increase in light of the December deadline's passing.

Expedited Enforcement of UST Regulations in New Mexico
Author: SA. Sutton-Mendoza
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Citations
Languages : en
Pages : 5
Book Description
New Mexico is the first state to implement an expedited enforcement program to enhance compliance with the Underground Storage Tank Regulations (USTR). UST field inspectors conduct inspections at UST facilities to ensure compliance with the USTR. If the inspector detects a violation, a field Notice of Violation is issued to the owner/operator and a penalty assessed. Prior to expedited enforcement 14% of the violations were corrected. Since implementing the program the Underground Storage Tank Bureau has conducted 592 inspections, issued 181 field Notices of Violation and 52% of those cited have complied. As a result of the enforcement program 85% of the facilities inspected are in compliance with USTR. This program has been successful in gaining compliance with USTR, specifically the release detection requirements.
