At the time of a release from an underground storage tank, the owner/operator is responsible for the corrective actions mandated by Part 213, Leaking Underground Storage Tanks, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 of PA 451, as amended (NREPA).
Owners/operators are required to hire consultants that meet the qualifications in Section 21325 of Part 213 to perform corrective actions, and to submit specific reports required by the statute. The Remediation and Redevelopment Division is charged with selectively auditing the final assessment reports and closure reports.
We require all submittals be provided using the appropriate submittal form, many of which are only available via the Remediation Information Data Exchange (RIDE). Detailed submittal instructions can be found on our RIDE Submittal Types & Guidance page.
Note that underground and aboveground storage tanks (non-leaking) are regulated under the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). For information about underground and aboveground storage tanks, including forms, registration, or financial information, please visit LARA Underground Storage Tanks.
