EPA-ORPHAN UST CLEANUP

Summary

The bill lets Illinois municipalities and counties step in to remove, investigate, and remediate petroleum underground storage tanks that have no identifiable owner, known as orphan tanks. These actions can be taken without the local government having to register as an owner, and the costs can be paid from the Underground Storage Tank Fund. This expands cleanup authority and funding eligibility beyond private owners.
