2006 NEIWPCC Survey of Petroleum and Hazardous Substance Releases at LUST Sites

Technical Reports

In 2006, NEIWPCC received a grant from the U.S. EPA Office of Underground Storage Tanks to develop and conduct a survey that would address primarily topical LUST-related issues but also other programmatic areas that would help provide insight into state experiences. The survey is titled State Experiences with Petroleum and Hazardous Substance Releases at LUST Sites, Heating Oil Tanks, and Out of Service Tanks. This year, all 50 states responded to the survey electronically thereby allowing readers to view the raw and compiled data.In the survey, some questions paralleled those asked in 2003, and the results are compared in the “State Response Summary” and the "Survey Report" attachments.

2003 NEIWPCC Survey of Oxygenates at LUST Sites
In 2002, NEIWPCC received a grant from the EPA Office of Underground Storage Tanks to develop and conduct a survey of the states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories to determine how MtBE and other oxygenate contamination is affecting state LUST programs and the cleanup of contaminated sites. The Survey of State Experiences with MTBE and Other Oxygenate Contamination at LUST Sites focused on the following oxygenates: methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MtBE), tertiary-butyl alcohol (TBA), ethanol, tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (EtBE), and diisopropyl ether (DIPE). The survey was a follow-up to the one conducted in 2000 by NEIWPCC that was similar but focused mostly on MtBE (see below). As with the 2000 survey, we received responses from all 50 states--a remarkable feat on the part of LUST program personnel. We had no responses from the territories or D.C.

2000 NEIWPCC Survey of MtBE at LUST Sites
As with the 2003 version, the EPA Office of Underground Storage Tanks provided a grant to NEIWPCC to conduct this survey, entitled A Survey of State Experiences with MtBE Contamination at LUST Sites.
