In accordance with the regulatory requirements in Massachusetts, owners/operators of most underground storage tanks (USTs) are mandated to have their USTs and associated piping inspected by Third-Party Inspectors before August 8, 2010.
As professional Third-Party Inspectors, we perform meticulous inspections of underground storage tanks and piping systems. Our comprehensive inspections entail:
1. Verifying the adequacy, presence, and functionality of various systems, including corrosion protection, overfill prevention, spill prevention, tank and piping release detection, and secondary containment.
2. Methodically documenting the inspection results on-site.
3. Reviewing facility record keeping ensuring compliance with UST Program requirements. This includes assessing current licenses, insurance coverage, permits, registration forms, copies of manufacturers’ operating instructions, current inspection reports, and testing records.
4. Submitting detailed reports on our findings to the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP).
5. Transmitting one copy of the inspection form to the Head of the Fire Department and another copy to the Massachusetts DEP within 14 business days following the completion of the inspection. It is crucial to adhere to this timeline.
