Underground Storage Tank Branch
Underground Storage Tank Program
The Utah State Underground Storage Tank program is a regulatory branch of the Department of Environmental Quality. Its primary goal is to protect human health and the environment from leaking underground storage tanks (USTs). The UST staff oversees UST notification, installation, inspection, removal, and compliance with State and Federal UST regulations concerning release prevention and remediation. Get more details.
May 2013 Tank Tip:
Last month's tank tip explained that newly installed tanks are "red tagged" to prevent receiving fuel until a Certificate of Compliance is issued for the tank.
A regulated tank could also be red tagged if:
- It does not have spill/overfill prevention equipment, leak detection equipment or corrosion prevention equipment, or
- The tank's Certificate of Compliance has been revoked for noncompliance with UST requirements.

Introduction of Ethanol Blended Fuel (E10)
Into Utah's Fuel Supply
As part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the U.S. Congress put into place the requirement for increases in the amount of bio fuel (usually ethanol) that must be mixed with gasoline sold in the United States. In response to this requirement, Chevron and other refineries will begin to produce and sell gasoline containing 10% ethanol (E10) in Utah beginning the end of March 2010.
