    Keeping up with the ever changing local, state and federal regulations governing Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) can be expensive and time consuming.  Issues associated with the decommissioning of USTs such as the local regulatory requirements, decommissioning technique, and the need for soil and groundwater sampling and analytical work are just some of the requirements that must be addressed every time a UST is decommissioned. 

    Rivers Edge has decommissioned UST systems throughout the Northwest for hundreds of clients. Our experience allows us a great advantage in addressing our clients needs.  We have developed a UST program that educates the client as to their specific needs and how their UST issues can best be resolved. We also regularly work with and through insurance carriers to assess potential liability if a release has occurred.  And offer expert testimony as to specific site conditions observed during the UST decommissioning event.

    Assessing potential liability has become the single most important aspect with respect to UST releases.  Proper decommissioning and site assessment techniques imp lamented by certified UST decommissioning personal is key to the assessment of potential liability in support of our clients interest.

    Rivers Edge is dedicated to providing the best service at the lowest price to its customers. Rivers Edge regularly works with our customers to find viable alternate solutions that will both remedy their particular situation and comply with local, state and federal regulations.
