The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed financial responsibility regulations to ensure that underground storage tank (UST) owners and operators can pay the costs of cleaning up leaks from USTs and compensate third parties for bodily injury or property damage resulting from leaks. The financial responsibility regulations (40 CFR Part 280, Subpart H) allow UST owners and operators to choose from a variety of financial mechanisms to comply with the regulations. One of these financial mechanisms is the use of insurance. In order to facilitate access to UST insurance, EPA developed this booklet based on information it received from the listed companies, agents, and brokers. The companies, agents, and brokers listed may help you as an UST owner or operator find the UST insurance that can fulfill your financial responsibility obligation. See the text box on the right for a description of the roles of companies, agents, and brokers.
