?? Unlocking UST Cleanup Success: Leveraging ASTM Standards for Effective Site Closure The challenge of moving Underground Storage Tank (UST) sites to closure is crucial for environmental protection and public health. The ASTM's "Moving Sites to Closure" (MStC) latest guidelines offer industry professionals best practices and innovative strategies to streamline UST site cleanups. UST cleanup programs have made remarkable progress over the past three decades, with over 512,000 cleanups completed. However, about 58,000 known cleanups remain, alongside newly discovered releases from the 192,000 operating UST facilities. The "Moving Sites to Closure" (MStC) initiative, led by the ASTM and supported by the EPA and various state agencies, aims to address these challenges by providing a clear, consistent framework for site closure. Key Considerations: ? Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA): Tailors cleanup goals based on site-specific risk assessments, ensuring proportional remediation efforts. ? High-Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC): Provides detailed data on contaminant distribution, enabling targeted and cost-effective cleanups. ? Innovative Remediation Techniques: Emphasizes in-situ bioremediation and natural attenuation, reducing long-term costs and enhancing effectiveness. ? Alternative Closure Criteria: Offers flexible criteria for site closure, accommodating various site conditions and contamination levels. By adopting these standardized practices, stakeholders can achieve faster, more reliable UST site closures, protecting public health and the environment.
