Attributes include regulatory identification numbers (IDEM), site names, IDEM program and sub-program designation, address information, and data collection dates by IDEM personnel. An underground storage tank (UST) system is a tank and any underground piping connected to the tank that has at least 10 percent of its combined volume underground. The Office of Land Quality (OLQ) does not regulate every type of storage tank. OLQ regulations apply only to UST systems that store petroleum or certain hazardous substances. OLQ helps UST owners and operators understand the regulations in order to encourage and promote voluntary compliance. The Underground Storage Tank (UST) program is responsible for registering all regulated underground storage tanks and assures that all regulated underground storage tanks meet Indiana's requirements for release detection, spill and overflow prevention and corrosion protection, and to insure that tanks not meeting those requirements are properly closed. The UST program also assures that these protection systems are operated and maintained properly. Leaking Tanks - When a regulated UST has a leak or spill, OLQ is responsible for ensuring adequate investigation and cleanup of the resulting contamination. To guarantee that that a leaking tank and its affected area are properly addressed, state and federal laws require owners and operators of UST systems to have financial responsibility. OLQ maintains the Excess Liability Trust Fund (ELTF) to provide a mechanism for the reimbursement of money spent by UST owners and operators on the cleanup of petroleum released from USTs. It also provides the federally mandated financial assurance for owners and operators of petroleum USTs and a source of money for the indemnification of third parties.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/103d6dee7d694b609c243efdb925a7ec_2041</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>IndianaMap</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Underground Storage Tanks [Indiana]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Indiana</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2024-12-18</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
