Underground Storage Tank Services

R. Curtis Spence, P.E. and Jeff Bood, P.G., have been providing comprehensive environmental services associated with underground storage tank (UST) systems in Ohio since the formation of the Ohio Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) in the late 1980’s. Our reputation and experience in providing cost effective BUSTR corrective action services is second to none.

SEC has extensive experience in the performance of BUSTR Tier Evaluations and has been very successful in obtaining no further action (NFA) status on complicated sites through use of fate and transport modeling, model calibration and land use restrictions. SEC staff has excellent working relationships with BUSTR regulators which translate to timely reviews and completed projects.

  • Underground Storage Tank (UST) Closure Assessments
  • UST System Upgrading and Regulatory Compliance Consulting
  • Site Checks and Tier I Evaluations (Site Assessments)
  • Tier 2 and 3 Evaluations (Risk Assessments)
