Underground Storage of Fuels and Petroleum Products

Underground storage tanks (USTs) are signifigant contributors to soil and water contamination. USTs are found at service stations and in rural areas where homes and farms have small private fuel sources.

The Michigan State University Extension offers two excellent websites on underground fuel storage and fuel leaks:

• Handling and Underground Storage of Fuel
