By what date was under dispenser containment (UDC) required for all existing UST systems?

January 1, 2004
December 31, 2002
December 31, 2003
July 1, 2003

The correct answer is: December 31, 2003

Under dispenser containment (UDC) was mandated for all existing underground storage tank (UST) systems to enhance environmental protection and safety. The requirement aims to prevent leaks from dispensers and associated piping, which can lead to contamination of the soil and groundwater. The regulation set the deadline for the installation of UDC to December 31, 2003. This deadline reflects the emphasis on timely improvements in infrastructure to minimize the risks associated with fuel dispensing from UST systems. Meeting this deadline ensured that all UST systems would comply with updated safety and environmental standards, thus reducing the potential for hazardous spills. Understanding the importance of this regulation helps comprehend the broader context of UST management, including the continued focus on environmental protection and adherence to safety protocols in the operation of fuel storage and dispensing systems.
