Webinar attendees hear from EPA’s Office of Underground Storage Tanks (OUST) about the general picture of state funds and revenue nationally. Attendees learn how changes in fuel consumption may impact the viability of state funds in the future, and this discussion includes takeaways regarding fuel use projections from a recent actuarial analysis conducted in the state of Utah. Attendees hear from panelists from the environmental insurance industry about the impact of changing fuel consumption, emerging fuels, and extreme weather. The panel also provides perspectives on the impact of COVID-19 to both state funds and insurance.

Webinar attendees learn how the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council’s (ITRC) web-based resources can be accessed and used in the cleanup of LUST sites, particularly for sites employing in situ remediation and injection. We discuss the remediation of a LUST site in Kentucky that presents unique considerations related to the use of surface geophysical methods prior to invasive bedrock investigation and remediation. Finally, we discuss the value of the remedial design characterization (RDC) and advancements made in in-situ injection techniques for remediation. Webinar wrap-up provides perspectives from the panel on the investigation and remediation of LUST sites via audience Q&A.

Webinar attendees learn about the impact of hydrostatic sump testing across Pennsylvania’s UST, LUST, and State Fund Programs. We hear about how cross-training within New Hampshire’s Oil Remediation and Compliance Bureau has facilitated cohesion, strength, and growth. Finally we hear about the development of South Carolina’s GIS internal viewer, see a live demonstration of the tool, and learn how each section of the state’s UST Program uses this tool to forward their work.
Speakers
This webinar will present the data analyzed from 150 different leaking underground storage tank sites that use High-Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) from across the country. The presentation will help explain lessons learned from these sites as well as limitations and recommendations on how to use this data to make remediation decisions. We will also hear from LUST program managers of Alabama and South Carolina and the lessons learned from their experience using HRSC.
Webinar Speakers:
John Sohl, President and CEO | Columbia Technologies
Dorothy Malaier, P.G. Chief, UST Corrective Action State and Federal Funds Section | Alabama Department of Environmental Management
Ashleigh Thrash, P.G. Section Manager, Assessment & Non-Permitted Petroleum Section | South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control

Below you will find recordings of two “LUST Success Stories” shared during NEIWPCC’s most recent UST/LUST Workgroup Meeting.
NEIWPCC’s UST/LUST Workgroup is comprised of staff from our member states, EPA regional offices, and EPA’s Office of Underground Storage Tanks (OUST). We meet throughout the year to discuss challenges and share success stories related to UST inspections; LUST cleanup; state cleanup funds; and working with UST owners, operators, and contractors within the states.
Speakers:
Allison Forrest-Lauippa | Environmental Analyst, LUST Coordination Program, Connecticut DEEP
Joe Cunningham, PE | Senior Environmental Engineer, Office of Land Revitalization and Sustainable Materials Management, Rhode Island DEM
