Recent changes to Massachusetts Underground Storage Tank Regulations stipulate that
by August 8, 2010, the owners/operators of most underground storage tanks (USTs) in Massachusetts are required to have their USTs and associated piping inspected by Third-Party Inspectors. Inspections must be repeated every three years.
Third-Party Inspectors conduct detailed inspections of USTs and piping systems. Their work includes: documentation of the results of their on-site inspections; review of facility record keeping to ensure that it meets UST Program requirements; and submission of reports on their findings to the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP).
Third-Party Inspectors are hired directly by tank owners and operators and report UST facts to directly to MassDEP. While they provide advice to their clients about compliance issues, they are not authorized to enforce laws and regulations.
CommTank’s trained third party inspector works closely with businesses to ensure that all regulation requirements are met in a timely and economical manner. In addition, CommTank performs an initial evaluation prior to the actual inspection.
