The purpose of the December 22, 1998 deadline for upgrading (which means adding spill, overfill, and corrosion protection), replacing, or closing existing substandard UST systems is to prevent another generation of leaking UST systems. During the last decade, over 330,000 releases from substandard tanks have been reported. Many of these releases have caused serious environmental damage as well as harming human populations. Contaminated water supply wells have been shut down to prevent sicknesses and other adverse health effects. Gasoline vapors have migrated into basements and garages causing explosions and fires which have claimed human lives and resulted in costly property damage. OUST's program has been extraordinarily successful in minimizing the potential for further harmful impacts, but the job is not yet finished. Only about one-third of the existing UST systems have been upgraded since 1988, which was the start of the 10-year time period for completing UST system upgrade, replacement, or closure. Over 600,000 UST systems still need to be upgraded, replaced, or closed. These systems are substandard and have a high probability of causing severe environmental damage and threatening human health and safety. If actions aren't taken to ensure that all UST systems meet minimum acceptable standards, the next generation of leaking USTs will be worse than the first generation was.

I think you know. InvestRight Regards, Jeff

It looks like the EPA tank upgrade has regulations in mind about tank overfills as well: Overfill Protection Your UST must have overfill protection. New USTs must have overfill protection devices when they are installed. The three main types of overfill protection devices are: 1.automatic shutoff devices, 2.overfill alarms, and 3.ball float valves. You and your fuel deliverer must follow industry standards for correct filling practices. Overfills usually release much larger volumes than spills. When a tank is overfilled, large volumes can be released at the fill pipe and through loose fittings on the top of the tank or a loose vent pipe. The tightness of these fittings normally would not be a problem if the tank were not filled beyond its capacity. You can solve overfill problems by: Making sure there is enough room in the tank for the delivery BEFORE the delivery is made; Watching the entire delivery to prevent overfilling or spilling; and Using overfill protection devices. epa.gov I think the CAPSCAN will be a big help. UST owners should know exactly how much room there is in their tanks InvestRight Regards, Jeff
