Reorganization of Storage Tanks Program
Inspection and certification of underground petroleum storage tanks (UST's) has been shifted from the Contaminated Sites Program to the Industry Preparedness Program (July 1, 2004). The Storage Tank webpages have moved to a new address within DEC's website, but there are no changes in regulations or requirements.
Larry Brinkerhoff is the new UST Manager. Please feel free to ask questions and send comments to:

Brownfields webpage 
DEC is developing resources to assist eligible entities in Alaska in applying for EPA brownfields grants. The program also will provide technical assistance, perform some site assessments, and develop a site inventory and public database of brownfields properties in Alaska.
Line Leak Detectors. 4/17/02. Do you have one on your UST's pressurized piping system? Not sure? Check out our instructions page on how to find them. Starting this fall, stand-alone sump sensors will no longer be allowed to substitute a mechanical or electronic line leak detector.
UST Workers Renew State Licenses. 2/1/12. Many UST workers and inspectors renewed their State certification, but not everyone did. See who's current and who's not.
UST/LUST Database On-Line. 5/14/01. Test our new searchable, internet based UST and LUST database. Quick, easy and helpful.
