After all, our government’s regulators have a range of “tools” to help motivate people and businesses. We all wish it was a simple act to just do the right thing. Everyone with an underground tank knows that there is a lot more to it.

Two mid-morning sessions focused on (1) Release Prevention through Compliance and (2) Searches for Responsible Parties. An obvious link for these sessions could be – if you are not doing leak detection, someone will be held accountable.

Two afternoon sessions discussed (1) single wall UST linings and co-structural double-wall upgrades and (2) State Fund Soundness Measures. Lots of food for thought.

The museum exhibits examples of Navajo and Hopi art, including pottery, beading and the handwoven US flag in the picture.

EPA’s OUST had many staff on hand from the DC area. It also seemed that representatives attended from all 10 regions and nearly every state and territory sent multiple compliance inspectors. I’m not sure if someone from each of the 556 federally recognized tribes was there, but the room was full. Everyone was ready to talk about tanks, but the art and history of the museum wisely prevailed. Good SW food, too!

Transition from summer to fall. Celebrate Labor Day on the 7th and pause to reflect on the worker. We are fortunate to live in challenging times where success supposes endeavor.

There is discussion in the regulated community about compartment USTs being more than one vessel. So we’re directed to the EPA online Compendium. While it helps to read their text, the issue isn’t resolved for some, especially FR underwriters. An analysis of releases involving compartment tanks will help – but we’re in no hurry for the data if it means another release has occurred.

Two words – leak detection.
