Resource Abstract:
- description: Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended by the Hazardous Waste Disposal Act of 1984,
brought underground storage tanks (USTs) under federal regulation. EPA implements the underground storage tank (UST) program
in Indian country, providing support to tribal governments to prevent and clean up petroleum releases from USTs. The UST program
in Indian country includes marketers and nonretail facilities that have USTs. Marketers include retail facilities such as
gas stations and convenience stores that sell petroleum products. Non-retail facilities include those that do not sell petroleum
products, but may rely on their own supply of gasoline or diesel for taxis, buses, limousines, trucks, vans, boats, heavy
equipment, or a wide range of other vehicles. Of the more than 560 federally recognized tribes about 200 have federally-regulated
underground storage tanks on their lands. Of those 200 tribes, over half have 10 or fewer active underground storage tanks.
About 20 tribes have 30 or more underground storage tanks. Data on sites managed by this program is assembled by the EPA Regional
Offices and varies from region to region in scope and content. Not all regions include Indian Nations. Publicly available
data is limited to Excel spreadsheets, but regional contacts are also available to answer questions about the data. Data is
updated in May and November of each year.; abstract: Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended
