July 17, 2025 - Camp Hill, PA
The Pennsylvania Insurance Department (PID) and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) today celebrated the Underground Storage Tank Indemnification Fund's (USTIF) 30th anniversary. USTIF is a unique program that helps clean up leaks from underground fuel tanks and protects the environment, business owners, and communities across the Commonwealth so that these leaks do not turn into long-term problems. Gas stations and other businesses that store fuel and other regulated substances in tanks buried underground can suffer tank leaks. When these tanks leak, those substances can pollute the soil and groundwater, which can harm people, animals, and the environment. USTIF, a special fund that operates similar to a small insurance company, provides a way for gas stations or industrial sites owners to pay to clean up areas, fix tanks, and mitigate any damage caused by the leak.
