Why ECS for UST/AST compliance services

Permitting assistance
Each state has its own set of rules and regulations governing tank installations, removals and maintenance. We understand the nuances of these regulations and can assist you in obtaining the necessary permits efficiently and effectively.
Compliance support
Beyond Pollution Discharge Elimination requirements, there are numerous other considerations for tank facilities. From contingency plans to financial responsibility requirements, ECS helps you achieve compliance with relevant regulations. We handle a variety of compliance services, from tanks and pipes to soil testing and required monitoring.
Spill prevention and discharge contingency plans
Many facilities are subject to spill prevention and discharge contingency plans, necessitating regular site assessments and reports. ECS offers comprehensive support in this area, helping see that your facility meets assessment and reporting requirements with ease.
Site assessments, monitoring and sampling
Regulatory compliance often requires regular site assessments, monitoring and sampling. ECS can conduct these activities on your behalf, providing the necessary reports to demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations.
Petroleum-impacted soil management
When petroleum-impacted soil is encountered, ECS can assist you with notifying state environmental regulators and negotiate authorization to perform interim remedial activities such as contaminated soil or water removal. The amount of contaminated soil removed is generally dictated by state guidelines at UST sites.
Staff training and awareness
In addition to providing support with permitting, site assessments and monitoring, ECS also offers training and awareness programs for your staff. Our trainers help your team become well versed in the relevant permit requirements and property assessment protocols.
