UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK CLEANUP FUND
For LUFT cases, RP’s non-compliance with these regulations may result in ineligibility to receive grant money from the
state’s Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund (Senate Bill 2004) to reimburse the cost of cleanup. Additional information
is available on the internet at: https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/ustcf/
AGENCY OVERSIGHT
Significant delays in conducting site assessment/cleanup or report submittals may result in referral of the case to the Regional
Water Board or other appropriate agency, including the County District Attorney, for possible enforcement actions. California
Health and Safety Code, Section 25299.76 authorizes enforcement including administrative action or monetary penalties of up
to $10,000 per day for each day of violation.
