If you are claiming financial hardship, please follow the steps listed in the enclosed flyer, "Guidance for Tank Owners Claiming Financial Hardship", to determine if you are eligible for assistance.

You are required to obtain a UST closure permit from your CUPA before proceeding with UST removal or closure in place.
