In 2026, an underground storage tank monitoring system at a gas station showed signs of a possible release. The owner wanted to delay action until the next quarterly review because the station was under contract for sale. What is the best federal compliance answer?

Correct Answer

B) Promptly investigate and report the suspected release to the implementing agency as required

Federal underground storage tank rules require owners and operators to address suspected releases promptly and to report them to the implementing agency as required. A pending sale does not suspend those duties.

Answer Options
A
Wait until two separate annual tests fail before notifying anyone about the suspected release
B
Promptly investigate and report the suspected release to the implementing agency as required
C
Drain the tank and bury the records so the site can be sold later as a vacant parcel
D
Transfer the station to a new LLC first because reporting duties do not arise until after ownership changes
