    UST Reimbursement Fund


    With the growing concern over MTBE and other fuel oxygenates, UST owners or Responsible Parties have grown more aware of the UST Reimbursement Fund as a valuable resource. Since its inception, ETIC has assisted numerous property and UST owners in the process of obtaining reimbursement for these assessment and remediation efforts. The Fund, maintained by the California State Water Resources Control Board, offers property and tank owners up to $1.5 million for the cleanup of leaking USTs. ETIC staff assists UST Fund claimants in obtaining pre-approvals, 3-bid waivers, and preparation of Fund-compliant invoices.
