The PASS Forms Team shipped fifty-four new and revised forms in July, led by a complete twenty-four-form North Dakota suite and a nine-form Oklahoma refresh. New Minnesota notification forms, an annual cadence option on two New Hampshire forms, and a fillable line-test set round out the month.

July brought a round of improvements to PASS Opus focused on billing and enrollment. Company discounts now apply automatically, buy-and-assign lands every time, and public certificate verification links open reliably.

A big month across PASS Tools: two-date inspection scheduling with a new dashboard, Punch List dashboards for paperwork and action items, an iPad keyboard fix for smart forms, cleaner report PDFs, and more.

Operators assume one calendar covers every UST test. It does not. The required cycle depends on the test type and the state, and getting it wrong in either direction costs you money or your compliance record.

A hurricane will not ask whether your tanks are in compliance. The inspector who arrives after it will. Here is EPA’s before, during, and after disaster framework, and why every step on it is compliance work you already owed.

Operator training was the brightest number in EPA’s Mid-Year FY2026 report, climbing to 89.7%. But that figure counts only Class A and B operators — not the high-turnover Class C employees working the counter. Here’s the blind spot inside the report’s best number, and how to close it.

EPA’s Mid-Year FY2026 UST report is the first one we can set directly beside FY2025 — and the comparison is revealing. The national Technical Compliance Rate slipped two points to 60.9%, even as operator training rose to 89.7% and the cleanup backlog fell by 918. But the real story is the spread between states, from Missouri’s 96% to Indiana’s 19%. Use the interactive tool to pin the states you operate in and line them up side by side across every measure EPA tracks.

A working ATG isn't proof of compliance — the records are. This article walks UST owners and operators through what federal release detection and recordkeeping rules actually require, where compliance most often breaks down between equipment and documentation, and how the shift toward remote and continuous monitoring is redefining what "in compliance" looks like in 2026 and beyond.

Your technicians performed the test correctly — but if the paperwork doesn't survive state review, it doesn't matter. Learn the most common UST technician documentation errors regulators are actively flagging and what service companies can do to stop them before they become violations.

Closing an underground storage tank (UST) is more than a technical step—it’s a critical compliance decision with long-term financial and environmental implications. This guide outlines what operators need to understand before initiating closure, including regulatory requirements, risk considerations, and the key differences between removal and closure in place.

Water in your underground storage tank is more common than you think—but it doesn’t take much to cause serious problems. Learn how to identify, monitor, and manage water before it impacts your equipment, compliance, or customers

UST operator training requirements aren’t uniform across states — and for multi-state operators, that gap creates real compliance risk. From retraining cycles to Class C documentation, here’s what you need to know.

EPA’s FY2025 UST data shows a national Technical Compliance Rate of just 62.9% — meaning nearly four out of ten facilities are still failing on the basics. From undocumented walkthrough inspections to missing release detection records and lapsed operator training, this post breaks down the most common compliance gaps and what operators can do to stay inspection-ready every day.

Fuel retail consolidation is reshaping the industry — but every acquisition brings a new wave of underground storage tank compliance obligations. Explore why growing your portfolio doesn’t simplify compliance, and how multi-site operators can stay ahead of state-by-state UST regulations at scale.
