UST Removal
The Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) states that its mission is to effectively regulate the safe operation of underground storage tanks (UST) and to ensure appropriate investigation and cleanup of releases from underground storage tanks for the purpose of protecting human health and the environment for the citizens of Ohio.

SPCC Plans
Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans ensure that facilities put in place containment and other countermeasures that would prevent oil spills that could reach navigable waters. The regulation applies to non-transportation-related facilities with a total aboveground oil storage capacity of greater than 1,320 gallons, or total completely buried oil storage capacity greater than 42,000 gallons.
Ohio Technical Services, Inc. has a Professional Engineer employed that has successfully completed SPCC Plans for a number of clients. He is well versed of the latest regulations and has assisted clients associated with the petroleum bulk storage industry, manufacturing, airline industry, and mental health institutions.
SWPP Plans
Storm water discharges are generated by a land-owners runoff from land, parking lots, and building rooftops during rainfall and the melting of snow. This runoff often contains pollutants in quantities that could adversely affect water quality.
As a result, most storm water discharges are considered “point sources” and require coverage by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Construction activities on site of one acre or larger are also required to obtain authorization to discharge storm water under a NPDES construction storm water permit.
As part of NPDES permit, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan must be developed, implemented, and maintained on the site.
Ohio Technical Services, Inc. is capable of assisting you in the completion of a review of your site, the preparation of the necessary applications for coverage under a NPDES permit, and the development of the site specific SWPP Plan.
HASP
In accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120(b)(1)(i) “Employers shall develop and implement a written safety and health program for their employees involved in hazardous waste operations. The program shall be designed to identify, evaluate, and control safety and health hazards, and provide for emergency response for hazardous waste operations.”
A Health and Safety Plan is often developed for individual projects on specific sites and addresses those hazards associated with the scope of work and specific conditions of the site.
Ohio Technical Services, Inc. is capable of assisting you in the completion of a site specific and project specific Health and Safety Plan of your site or project.
