What action should be taken if leakage or premature corrosion is detected?

Notifying the owner when leakage or premature corrosion is detected is crucial in the context of UST (Underground Storage Tank) installation and retrofitting. The owner has a legal and financial responsibility to ensure the safety and integrity of the storage system. By informing the owner, you enable them to take immediate action to mitigate risks, prevent environmental contamination, and comply with regulatory requirements.

The owner's awareness allows for prompt assessment and remediation strategies to be implemented, ensuring that the situation is addressed appropriately and that both personnel and environmental safety are prioritized. Immediate notification also helps in maintaining records and can be part of required compliance actions with local or federal regulations surrounding UST systems. This proactive communication fosters a responsible and safety-oriented approach to managing potential hazards associated with UST systems.
