The Sacramento Branch is pleased to present:
The Low-Threat Underground Storage Tank Case Closure Policy: An Update
Mr. Barry Marcus, P.G.
Sacramento County Environmental Management Department
Scholastic Sponsor: Woodward Drilling Company
RSVP For This Event
On May 1, 2012, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) adopted the Low-Threat Underground Storage Tank (UST) Case Closure Policy (Policy) which had been developed by a diverse stakeholder group for the purpose of establishing consistent statewide case closure criteria for low-threat petroleum UST sites. The Policy is intended to provide direction to responsible parties, their service providers, and regulatory agencies. The Policy seeks to increase UST cleanup process efficiency. A benefit of improved efficiency is the preservation of limited resources for mitigation of releases posing a greater threat to human and environmental health.
Our speaker, who was instrumental in drafting the policy and presenting it to various stakeholder groups throughout the state, will give us an update on the final Policy as adopted by the State Water Board and how the Policy will likely affect regulatory cleanup and case closure management for petroleum UST release sites going forward.
