This Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 provides $1,383,985 to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) through September 30, 2023 to support Minnesota's Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program. The funding assists the MPCA's efforts in leak detection, prevention and enforcement activities under the UST Prevention, Detection, and Compliance Program (CFDA #66.804). Specifically, the grant objectives are to encourage UST owners and operators to properly operate and maintain their tanks; ensure owners and operators monitor tanks in accordance with regulations; and further develop the state's program to operate in lieu of the federal program. These objectives aim to protect the environment by preventing petroleum and hazardous substance releases from underground storage tanks in Minnesota.
