March, 2013 –
United Environmental Services, Inc. is pleased to announce that Mark Loureiro has recently been re-certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) as a Certified Underground Storage Tank (UST) Remover. Mr. Loureiro has been with United Environmental since 2001, and utilizes his UST Remover and UST Inspector Certification on a daily basis to keep UST owners in compliance.
The Pennsylvania Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Act and PADEP regulations established a certification program for installers and inspectors of aboveground and underground storage tanks. Only PADEP certified storage tank installers and/or inspectors may install, modify, remove or inspect storage tanks.
PADEP recommends that storage tank owners verify which activities a person is certified to conduct before employing his or her services. For example, a person certified only to conduct an underground tank removal cannot perform a tank installation.
