In Connecticut, there are tens of thousands of underground storage tanks currently in use for commercial and residential purposes.  To address the pervasive threat posed by the failure of UST systems, the DEP has a number of programs to foster compliance with removal and upgrading requirements, while creating a mechanism to assist UST owners and operators with the removal and/or closure of USTs and the investigation and remediation of UST releases.
