Although the amount of leak-detection research conducted by industry and government has expanded dramatically since the release of EPA’s regulations, conclusive answers to some research questions remain elusive. 18 peer-reviewed papers provide an objective, indepth view of underground storage tank (UST)/leak detection issues, such as:

• Internal Monitoring

• External Monitoring

• Regulations and Standards

• Site and Risk Evaluation
