Environmental Liability Transfer
Underground Petroleum Storage Systems (known as UPSS) have long been a focus of environmental investigation, as they can leak fuel into the subsurface. 
Groundwater can also transport fuels outside a property boundary, causing offsite contamination and larger environmental liability.
OTEK has consulted in many enforcement notices and audits by State Government Environmental Regulatory bodies, as well as legal cases where fines and law suits apply due to this off-site migration.
In many states there are increasing amounts of legislative requirements for managers, owners and operators of UPSS, and large penalties that apply for not complying with the new requirements that apply to both individuals, as well as companies.
OTEK’s team of scientists and engineers help provide solutions for UPSS, including
- Advice on regulatory requirements
- Risk assessment
- Dangerous goods audit
- Leak and Integrity testing
- Groundwater monitoring
- Tank removal and validation
- New system design and modification of existing systems to meet requirements
- Environmental investigations
- Remediation of impacted soil and groundwater
