Leaking Underground Storage Tanks on Record

Source period . Recomputed by ZipCheckup from the cited federal source.

Federal data is unavailable in the dataset used for this measure. We publish the gap rather than fill it with an estimate.

How we compute this

We read leaking-underground-storage-tank (LUST) counts from the EPA Underground Storage Tank program’s state-level reporting and report the national total of open cases. The figure recomputes whenever the underlying extract is refreshed.

An open LUST case is a regulatory and cleanup status, not a measure of present-day exposure at any address. Cases close as remediation completes, so the count reflects active cleanup work in progress.

We translate EPA’s records rather than estimate them. Proximity context is drawn from EPA EJScreen percentiles, which measure relative distance to the nearest site, not a contamination reading.

Every number here is recomputed from public federal data on each build by open-source code in the ZipCheckup repository; a dated CSV snapshot is published with each finding. No data does not mean safe.
