For UST systems that will be permitted (category one tanks (COTs), including piping), a construction permit must be issued before installation begins. The UST Form (see below) must be completed and submitted, along with any fees, to the Storage Tanks Section at least 60 days prior to beginning construction. Once the review of the form is complete, a construction permit will be issued, and construction may commence.

After the tank(s) and/or piping have been installed, your contractor must complete and submit a:

  1. Tank Installation Checklist; and/or
  2. Piping Installation Checklist or Piping Installation Without Excavation Checklist
