Underground storage tank (UST) regulations require cleanup of contamination resulting from UST leaks. As part of its Groundwater Protection Program, the City of Anaheim managed the UST Cleanup Oversight Program from April 1991 to June 2014. However, due to changes in state law, all UST cleanup cases in Anaheim are now managed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region.
Records of UST cleanups may be accessed in several ways. The State of California maintains a database called
Geotracker, which has all known UST cleanup cases in California. The database is searchable by city and address. Anaheim uploaded into the Geotracker database all no further action (NFA) letters and case summaries that it had available in its files. In some cases, NFA letters and/or case summaries were not available for cases that were closed prior to 1991.
UST cleanup records may also be accessed from the Anaheim Public Utilities Department by contacting
via email or by calling 714-765-4288. If records other than an NFA letter and/or case summary are required, a
records request form is required. The
Regional Water Quality Control Board website provides information on accessing information on UST cases they manage.
