Environmental Consulting Services for the Retail UST Industry
Owners of underground and aboveground storage tanks (USTs and ASTs), such as convenience stores and fuel distributors, are increasingly on the radar screen of federal, state and local agencies, necessitating an unprecedented level of attention to maintaining compliance with environmental regulations. Helping petroleum marketers manage these issues and to respond to petroleum releases has been a key part of our business since the inception of our firm and today still. A recognized leader in UST/AST environmental management, PPM serves national convenience store chains, local jobbers, and individual facility owners.
