Helping you explore cost recovery options for leaking underground storage tanks (UST)
For most of the twentieth century, underground storage tanks (USTs) were widely used to store heating oil, gasoline and various chemicals. Over time, these tanks tend to corrode and leak contaminants into the soil and groundwater triggering expensive investigations remediations and liabilities.
Our firm has handled many UST cases at industrial, commercial and residential properties and, on behalf of eligible clients, we have obtained payments from insurance companies, state grants and responsible third parties to fund their cleanup.
Thus, we have extensive experience counseling clients about the various compliance, liability, and cost recovery options available to them upon the discovery of contamination from a leaking UST. And we have applied for and obtained numerous state grants and loans for the benefit of clients needing financial assistance from the Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Remediation, Upgrade and Closure Fund and the Hazardous Discharge Site Remediation Fund.
