The Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 awarded the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection $438,616 under the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Prevention, Detection, and Compliance Program (CFDA 66.804) federal Project Grant. The grant will support Massachusetts' UST program from July 1, 2021 through March 31, 2023 by funding objectives to encourage proper operation and maintenance of underground storage tanks, ensure tank monitoring compliance with regulations, and develop the state program to operate in lieu of the federal program. These objectives are aimed at preventing petroleum and hazardous substance releases from underground storage tanks to protect the environment. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts will oversee delivery of leak detection, prevention, and enforcement services through the state's environmental protection department using the grant funding.
