Waste Programs Division: Underground Storage Tanks: Leaking UST Investigations and Cleanups

ADEQ's Leaking Underground Storage Tank program investigates and coordinates efforts to clean up leaking USTs once a release has occurred. These efforts may include overseeing cleanups performed by the leaking UST owner, operator or by a volunteer who is willing to assume responsibility. ADEQ also may perform corrective actions itself using consultants who are on state contract.


!UST owners and operators are required to notify ADEQ within 24 hours of a release or suspected release of an underground storage tank. Call (602) 771-4289 to speak with a UST program representative. You may also call ADEQ toll free at (800) 234-5677.
