With the advent of the CFR 280 regulations governing Underground Storage Tanks (USTs), UST management became the most prolific environmental issue in the United States. Environmental assessments at UST sites have revealed that leaks from many such systems have contaminated underlying soils and, in many cases, groundwater.

GeoSci personnel are knowledgeable of county, state and federal regulations governing UST management, assisting UST owner/operators in UST closures, assessments, clean-ups and upgrades, including rules developed for Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA).

GeoSci personnel have worked at hundreds of UST sites, from large industrial facilities to commercial gasoline stations to home heating oil tanks. GeoSci works closely with clients to assess the tank status, counseling on the most expedient course of action to comply with UST regulations and North Carolina State UST Trust Fund guidelines.
