Compendium of Emergency Response Actions at Underground Storage Tank Sites – Version 1 (October 2012)
The LUST Task Force developed this compendium to present information on emergency response actions that have occurred in States across the country. UST programs across the country require reporting, initial abatement measures, and free product removal activities to occur immediately upon discovery of a release to protect human health and the environment. Updates to this compendium will be prepared periodically.

Information for Evaluating UST Financial Responsibility Options ( December 2002)
This document was prepared as a reference tool to assist State tank program managers in understanding the issues that arise in insurance coverage of leaking underground storage tanks. No reader should infer that the document advocates or discourages the use of commercial insurance in the program. Some States have developed fund-based approaches to cleanup assistance, and others are using alternative approaches to provide coverage in accordance with Federal financial assurance requirements. We believe that each State is best equipped to make such choices, and ASTSWMO's task is to provide the information necessary to make the decisions. This reference tool is intended to provide all State program managers with a consolidated source of information.
