An underground storage tank system (UST) is a tank and any underground piping connected to the tank that has at least 10 percent of its combined volume underground.
Until the mid-1980s, most USTs were made of bare steel, which is likely to corrode over time and allow UST contents to leak into the environment. Faulty installation or inadequate operating and maintenance procedures also can cause USTs to release their contents into the environment.

The major potential hazard from a leaking UST is that the petroleum or other hazardous substance can seep into the soil and contaminate groundwater, which is a source of drinking water. A leaking UST can present other health and environmental risks, including the potential for fire and explosion.
