Underground Storage Tanks Prohibited From Receiving Fuel or Hazardous Material Deliveries ("Red Tagged")

Rev. 6/5/26

No Active Alerts

*Underground storage tank (UST) systems that are found to be out of compliance with state regulations may be "Red Tagged"; therefore fuel deliveries to the non-compliant USTs will be prohibited. Tanks prohibited from fuel delivery will be clearly marked with a RED TAG.

For more information on RIDEM established standards for "Red Tagging", please see Rule 8.21 "Delivery Prohibition" in the Rules and Regulations for Underground Storage Tank Facilities Used For Petroleum Products and Hazardous Materials.

Information on this page is provided as a service. It should be noted that listing on the web is not a requirement of the relevant regulations. The red tag affixed to the UST fill pipe by the Department provides the primary regulatory notice that deliveries to a particular UST are prohibited.
