Pollutant Storage Tanks

Storage Tank Stats

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that there are approximately 611,000 underground storage tanks (USTs) nationwide that store petroleum or other hazardous substances. These USTs do pose a great potential risk of leaking and contaminating the groundwater throughout the United States.

This is an especially alarming threat here in Florida, where about 92 percent of our drinking water is groundwater. As this danger became realized, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection implemented one of the first petroleum cleanup rules in the nation in 1983. Since then, more than 23,000 discharges have been reported, of which 6122 have been assessd and closed, and 16,800 are still to be assessed and closed.

HSA Golden's principals have been instrumental in the closure of hundreds of these discharges.

Cleanups and Closures

HSA Golden is a state-certified petroleum cleanup preapproval contractor. Whether you have a storage tank cleanup or closure project, we are ready to help you with the legal, environmental and economic challenges associated with these processes.

After performing a site assessment, we use our in-depth and experienced (since 1983) understanding of Florida UST regulatory provisions (62-761, F.A.C.; 62-770, F.A.C.; 62-780, F.A.C.) along with the results from the assessment in order to determine the best cleanup procedure for your project. We manage all aspects throughout the remediation process, including all regulatory compliance.

Our key relationships with state environmental regulators ensures that the completion of your site cleanup will be done both swiftly and to code which amounts to time and cost savings for your company.

  • "Pete,

    Thank you and the staff at HSA Golden for your work on our UST site investigation project. You have been very accommodating to our schedule and demands, and your work on the project has been instrumental in helping us move this project through the local environmental agency and helping us to achieve the desired outcome with that agency. Our previous consultant was not able to accomplish this. Thanks to your work, we have reduced our groundwater monitoring from quarterly to semi-annually and are thus saving money. It is my pleasure to recommend you and HSA Golden for any project for which you are technically qualified."
