Welcome!

For the third straight year, the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program closed more sites than were reported. With this significant accomplishment, 18,498 acres in Illinois have been remediated since 1989 bringing us closer to our federal cleanup goal. In addition, $69.1 million was reimbursed to tank owners and operators for their corrective action costs in 2003.

The Illinois EPA recently filed new regulations and amendments to the current regulations with the Illinois Pollution Control Board to streamline the program. We believe the proposed new regulations and amendments will expedite underground storage tank cleanups in Illinois and reduce cleanup costs.

Next year will be the 15-year anniversary of the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program in Illinois and we are proud of the results we have seen over the years. Our goal of assisting tank owners and operators in remediating their sites and obtaining reimbursement has helped Illinois become a leader in timely and efficient environmental revitalization.

Director, Illinois EPA
