Underground Storage Tank (UST) Closures

Pioneer has performed a wide range of UST-related services including full gasoline station decommissioning projects, the removal of tanks with capacities from 500 gallons to 20,000 gallons, and the installation of new or upgraded USTs and associated equipment.

The sites span the range of operating and abandoned retail gasoline stations to industrial/commercial facilities throughout the country.

Pioneer can provide both the project management and environmental consulting expertise needed to properly design and execute a UST removal project as well as evaluate compliance issues at sites with existing UST systems. We regularly work with advising clients on regulatory matters and can also serve as the turnkey specialist and perform both the contracting and consulting functions for tank removal and installation projects. All our work is conducted in strict accordance with state and federal UST laws and regulations, and a perfect safety record is a testament to the quality of the people and practices employed at each UST project we work on.

Local, regional and national petroleum retailers, marketers, and owner/operators contract with Pioneer to solve their UST-related problems. Pioneer is especially proficient in handling UST projects where releases are discovered and in navigating the regulatory frameworks of the various local, state, and federal agencies as well as obtaining reimbursement for eligible costs from state funds where applicable. Our cumulative abilities and combined expertise in the many aspects of UST removal and installation projects provide a consistent and results oriented approach that has proven successful for over 20 years in business.
