Federal and state laws require that owners and operators of petroleum underground storage tanks have financial responsibility for the costs of environmental cleanup in case of a release or spill.

PLIA’s UST Loan & Grant Program provides financial help to UST owners for cleanups and upgrades. PLIA conducts workshops so that owners can learn about low interest loan and/or grant options related to underground storage tanks.

The Heating Oil Pollution Liability Insurance Program provides pollution liability coverage to owners who heat their homes or businesses with heating oil. You must be registered with PLIA prior to the start of any accidental release in order for the cleanup to be covered.

The Heating Oil Technical Assistance Program provides technical assistance to owners and operators of active or abandoned heating oil tanks who suspect contamination from a release. Help is provided for other technical issues as well.
