The Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program of the Los Angeles County Public Works,
Environmental Programs Division
(DPW EPD) permits and inspects underground storage tanks within the
unincorporated areas (PDF, 32
KB) of Los Angeles County and
77 cities. The Unit regulates all unauthorized releases from underground storage tanks.
Los Angeles County Code (LACC), Title 11, Division 4, established the underground storage tank program
in Los Angeles County in 1983. The Los Angeles County Underground Storage Tank Program's goal is to protect the public, the environment (air, soil and groundwater) and UST owners/operators by ensuring
that UST facilities are
permitted,
designed/installed/modified,
operating and eventually
closed in compliance with local/state/federal requirements.
