Corrective actions include activities to investigate, analyze and conduct cleanup. The UST Program provides compliance assistance and regulatory oversight for UST owners and operators who have had a release from their UST system. The program also assists property owners who voluntarily undertake corrective actions (these activities are often related to property re-development). In addition to regulatory and technical support, UST owners, operators and property owners may qualify for financial assistance for these activities through either the State Lead Corrective Action Program or the Preapproval Program.
