Underground Storage Tank Program

Pursuant to the County Environmental Health Act (CEHA), the Environmental Health Unit inspects and investigates discharges and potential discharges of hazardous materials that are stored in underground storage tanks. The majority of products contained in UST's are gasoline, fuel oil and used motor oil.

All discharges from UST's must be reported the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection environmental hotline at 1-877-WARNDEP. Staff inspects UST removals and provides oversight for the remediation of a limited amount of unregulated UST sites (residential).
