Underground Storage Tanks (UST)
CAS is an information resource for Underground Storage Tank (UST)
regulations in the State of Maryland, as well as Washington, DC,
Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania. We are intimately familiar
with the analyses required for the MDE MTBE regulations.
We have designed our UST services accordingly so that we can
provide reliable, quality data at a reasonable cost.
New Regulation Summary; 26.10.02.03 thru .03-6 and 26.10.03.02 and .03
The routine analyses required for petroleum USTs are processed
efficiently so that we can offer rush services whenever
they are needed. We provide the following routine UST analyses:

| Purgeable Aromatics (BTEX, w/ or w/o MTBE, Naphthalene) | EPA 8021B |
| Volatile Organic Compounds | EPA 8260B |
