Storage Tanks

Tanks come in all shapes and sizes. At Villa Environmental Consultants Inc., we can help you make sure that your tank is in compliance - that's a storage tank not an M1.

Villa Environmental Consultants, Inc., is available to design and construct, upgrade, or replace an Underground or Aboveground Storage Tank (UST or AST). We also provide the necessary site assessment, soil assessment, and related investigation for removals.

In addition, every state regulates contamination caused by a UST or an AST. There are many complicated regulations which apply to commercial and industrial tanks. Please contact Eric Larcinese, Vice President, Senior Environmental Project Manager, at eric@villaenv.com to discuss your situation. Villa Environmental Consultants, Inc., has certified and experienced individuals who can test the soil surrounding a tank to determine if a leak has occurred.

A brief reference guide to tank systems includes the following list of general requirements and statements:

UST registration is required for all tanks that contain regulated substances
Regulated substances include gasoline, diesel and waste oil
If a regulated tank is removed or closed in place, soil samples and a site assessment is required
A tank can be filled in place if removal causes structural damage to an adjoining facility
An above ground storage tank can also pose a problem with leaks and spills
There are many similar regulations imposed on both an UST and AST
Placement of an AST on a site is very critical, so as to meet state and federal requirements

Heating oil tanks are regulated in some states. They may have to be removed (or closed in place) if they are not in use.
