Technical Guidance

The first version of the technical guidance for implementing the UST Program Release Reporting and Corrective Action rule is provided through the following downloadable links. It is designed to be a complete "cradle to grave" guidance, eliminating the need for numerous smaller guidance documents for LUST sites. This technical guidance document is a "living" document for which errata pages will be issued, as well as future revisions of specific sections or appendices. Only the new or revised pages need to be replaced in your copy of the guidance. Due to the size of the document, the guidance is provided as ordered dowloadable files by section as they occur in the guidance. The order of the sections can be noted in the table of contents of the guidance.
