Impact/Purpose:

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with the Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials, developed UST Finder, a web mapping application and database containing a comprehensive, state-sourced national map. Using publicly available information, UST Finder provides the attributes and locations of active and closed, underground storage tanks (UST), UST facilities and leaking UST (LUST) sites. UST Finder contains information including: the UST facility and LUST site universe as of 2018-2019; surface and groundwater public drinking water protection areas that may be impacted from LUST sites; estimated number of private domestic wells and number of people living in proximity to UST facilities and LUST sites; and flooding potential in relation to UST facilities and LUST sites. UST Finder allows users to find LUST sites and UST facilities to better understand and assess vulnerabilities to human health and the environment.

Description:

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with the Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials, developed UST Finder, a web-based map application containing a comprehensive, state-sourced national map of underground storage tank (UST) and leaking UST (LUST) data. Using publicly available information, UST Finder provides the attributes and locations of active and closed USTs, UST facilities, and LUST sites from states as of 2018-2019. UST Finder contains information about proximity of UST facilities and LUST sites to: surface and groundwater public drinking water protection areas; estimated number of private domestic wells and number of people living nearby; and flooding and wildfires. UST Finder can import additional data layers and export UST facility and LUST site information.
