The Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 awarded the State of Washington Department of Ecology a $1,029,658 Project Grant under the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Prevention, Detection, and Compliance Program (CFDA 66.804). The grant will support Washington's UST program through June 2023 by funding activities to encourage proper operation and maintenance of underground storage tanks, ensure tank monitoring compliance, and further develop the state's program to operate in lieu of federal regulation. Key objectives include leak detection, prevention and enforcement to protect the environment from petroleum and hazardous substance releases. The funding will aid the state in meeting UST program requirements under 40 CFR 35.504 by advancing underground tank monitoring and compliance.
