Official state resources, practical testing references, and downloadable facility checklists.
Select a state to reach its official notification, reporting, and compliance guidance. Facility schedules must follow the applicable state program; the federal reference below is a starting point for comparing recurring requirements.
| State | Program | Notification and reporting |
|---|---|---|
| Wisconsin | DATCP · ATCP 93 | Tank, line, detector, and annual functionality reports are listed separately. Use the current DATCP forms and filing instructions. Official requirements and forms |
| Michigan | LARA · Bureau of Fire Services | Registration, proposed-installation, closure, and suspected-release forms are provided by the Bureau of Fire Services. Official requirements and forms |
| Tennessee | TDEC · Underground Storage Tanks | Notification, ownership changes, and closure documents are grouped with compliance manuals and operator references. Official requirements and forms |
| Missouri | DNR · 10 CSR 26-2 | Use the state requirements and linked forms for installation notification, requested records, and operational compliance. Official requirements and forms |
| Kansas | KDHE · Storage Tank Section | Permitting and compliance forms include monthly and annual monitoring summaries and a walkthrough checklist. Official requirements and forms |
| Virginia | DEQ · 9VAC25-580 | The program links registration, equipment test forms, and current inspection guidance. Online registration is available through myDEQ. Official requirements and forms |
| Iowa | DNR · Underground Storage Tanks | The directory includes 30-day and annual walkthroughs, line testing, secondary containment reports, and work notification forms. Official requirements and forms |
| Georgia | EPD · UST Regulatory Compliance | Forms distinguish installation dates and emergency-generator systems, with notification and operating-status checklists. Official requirements and forms |
| Louisiana | LDEQ · Underground Storage Tanks | Notification, release detection, walkthrough, and equipment test forms are available with accepted alternative-method guidance. Official requirements and forms |
| Alabama | ADEM · UST program forms | The department directory includes annual ATG and detector reports, three-year spill bucket logs, and tank notifications. Official requirements and forms |
| North Carolina | DEQ · UST Section | Annual operability and triennial integrity forms are listed alongside notification and ownership forms. Select the form for the installed system. Official requirements and forms |
| Kentucky | Energy and Environment Cabinet · 401 KAR 42 | Use current regulations and forms, including applicable amendments, rather than the archived editions. Official requirements and forms |
Intervals below apply to covered UST systems under federal rules, subject to the stated alternatives. They are not a universal schedule for every state or installation.
| Equipment | Interval | Application and source |
|---|---|---|
| Release detection equipment | At least annually | ATG controllers, probes, sensors, and applicable components. 40 CFR 280.40 |
| Spill equipment and monitored piping sumps | At least every 3 years | A qualifying double-wall monitoring alternative may apply. 40 CFR 280.35 |
| Overfill prevention equipment | At least every 3 years | Verify activation level and operation. 40 CFR 280.35 |
| Pressurized product piping | Release-detection method determines schedule | Where line tightness is the applicable option, annual testing is generally required; newer piping has different monitoring requirements. 40 CFR 280.41 |
| Qualifying suction piping | Every 3 years, monthly monitoring, or qualifying exemption | The piping configuration determines the permitted approach. 40 CFR 280.41 |
Practical references for interpreting monitoring indications and understanding testing evidence. Equipment-specific manuals and the facility response plan govern action at the site.
Gross line failures, sensor indications, and probe communication faults need different investigations. Use this reference to document the indication and involve the appropriate service personnel.
