This grant program funds activities in both the LUST prevention and cleanup programs. On the Prevention program, grants are used for activities that promote the prevention, compliance, and identification of underground storage tanks. For the cleanup program, grants are used to support activities that promote corrective action, enforcement and management of releases from underground storage tank systems. Funding Priority - Fiscal Year 2025: High priority tasks include: (1) Working with states and tribes within available resources to reduce the number of sites that have not reached cleanup completion; (2) Provide targeted training to states and tribes, such as remediation process optimization and rapid site assessment techniques; (3) Monitor the soundness of financial mechanisms, in particular, insurance and state cleanup funds that serve as financial assurance for LUST releases; (4) Provide support in Indian Country for site assessment, investigations, and remediation of high priority sites; and (5) Provide resources and support to states and tribes to quickly address emergency responses from releases to the environment.
