Compliance Corner
Compliance Corner is a new feature of the Tennessee Division of Underground Storage Tanks Web Page and will highlight items of interest in UST Compliance.
It is important for you to know that Tennessee is conducting an active inspection program and if your facility hasn't been inspected yet, it may be overdue for a visit. Some facilities have been visited more than once, so be aware that someone from the Division will come calling on you eventually.
Preparing for a Compliance Inspection
For some people, notice of a visit from a compliance inspector from the Tennessee Division of Underground Storage Tanks is stressful. Many tank owners or their representatives go into an inspection unprepared. They may spend considerable time while an inspector is on site looking for records or other paperwork. The purpose of this document is to help the tank owner or operator better prepare for a compliance inspection.
