This checklist provides a quick review of the requirements to project managers who provide oversight at UST closure/removal projects. Their efforts, along with those of environmental consultants, ensure appropriate soil/groundwater sampling methods and proper data collection. Not only does this optimize content in the UST closure report, but a presence in these early stages can allow access to the State Fund for cleanup, a seamless transition for longer term monitoring, and can support future site closure.
