Utah UST Directory

Utah currently manages 6,073 registered underground storage tank (UST) facilities. Historically, these operations have resulted in 4,782 documented leaking underground storage tank (LUST) release sites across the state. Of these, 276 releases are presently classified as "Open," indicating ongoing cleanup efforts are still required. The state maintains 3,909 active USTs, in addition to 14,043 closed tanks, reflecting a significant history of fuel storage infrastructure. This comprehensive UST data is sourced from the EPA UST Finder program.

The widespread presence of USTs highlights the critical importance of robust monitoring, environmental due diligence, and groundwater protection to prevent contamination. Cities with high facility counts, such as SALT LAKE CITY (1118 facilities, 1054 releases), OGDEN (376 facilities, 307 releases), PROVO (203 facilities, 165 releases), SOUTH SALT LAKE (194 facilities, 199 releases), and LOGAN (148 facilities, 115 releases), demonstrate the geographical impact of potential releases. Effective management of these systems is vital to safeguard Utah's environmental quality and protect its valuable groundwater resources from hazardous substances.
