Underground Storage Tanks

With the implementation of federal underground storage tank (UST) programs, Huff & Huff (H&H) has provided owners and operators of USTs professional engineering services for a variety of situations. Project sites have included gasoline stations, industrial facilities, agricultural properties, and residential sites. H&H provides each client with up to date technologies and remediation activities in accordance with applicable regulations. Capabilities include the remediation of releases from petroleum USTs (gasoline, heating oils, waste oils, etc.) and other industrial chemical USTs (solvents (both halogenated and nonhalogenated), acid, and pesticide compounds). In addition, H&H has overseen the removal of USTs (tank, piping, and any part of system that contains product) and the proper abandonment in place of UST systems. These services encompass the following tasks:

Preparation of specification
UST oversight
Investigation of releases
Remediation
Regulatory reporting

Remedial actions, soil vapor extraction, groundwater treatment, free-product recovery, in situ bioremediation, land farming and composting have been used. H&H has utilized a combination of air sparging with soil vapor extraction to remediate soil and groundwater. The technology, with H&H's proprietary design, has been utilized successfully at over 20 sites. This technology has reduced typical remediation periods from 10 to 15 years to only 1.5 to 2 years.

H & H prepares reimbursement forms for tanks eligible for state reimbursement programs. Since 1991, H&H has received over $1,000,000 in reimbursement funds for its clients, with payouts from the fund in excess of 97 percent of the amount requested.

The firm has designed new UST and AST systems.

Huff & Huff (H&H) has supervised the removal of industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential USTs and has conducted remediation activities involving UST sites in eleven states. The firm has successfully accomplished projects ranging in complexity from single tank sites to solvent-based tank farms of more than 50 UST's. H&H is experienced with both Federal and State UST regulations and policies and has prepared all necessary documentation of UST activities for government agencies.
