The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (ME DEP) a $347,402 Formula Grant under the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Prevention, Detection, and Compliance Program (CFDA #66.804). The grant will fund ME DEP's UST program from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
The grant will support ME DEP's efforts to prevent petroleum releases from underground storage tanks through compliance inspections, implementation of a delivery prohibition program to prevent depositing petroleum in non-compliant tanks, and an operator training program. The funding fully supports ME DEP's work to ensure owners and operators properly operate and maintain underground storage tanks and monitor them in accordance with regulations. This protects the environment by preventing petroleum releases from underground storage tanks in Maine.
