Program Description
On July 20, 2006, the Temporary Reimbursement Program (TRP) for leaking underground storage tanks was created by amendments to Michigan law . The program is for the benefit of certain owners or operators who had approved claims under the former Michigan Underground Storage Tank Financial Assurance (MUSTFA) Program, or persons who have a valid assignment of an approved MUSTFA claim. The deadline for submitting applications was August 29, 2007.

Approximately 600 applications were approved in the two rounds of applications.  Based on this number of approved applications, the applicant for each approved facility is eligible for up to $64,000 in corrective actions costs. The approved applicants are responsible for 20% of the eligible costs as a co-pay amount.

The approved applicants have 540 days from the date when they received their approval letters in which to perform eligible corrective actions.  All invoices must be submitted with 600 days of the receipt of their approval letters.   Click here  for a list of the approved applications and their corresponding deadline dates.
