. UST Investigations, Closures, & Remediations AVANT staff have collectively investigated, closed, and/or remediated hundreds of regulated and unregulated underground storage tanks (USTs) throughout the midwest. The following information describes AVANT's UST capabilities: Our staff qualifications include certifications for UST removals and closures in Indiana and Michigan. AVANT's UST professionals perform tank evaluations, agency notifications, site characterizations, tank removals, soil and groundwater remediations, product recovery, confirmation sampling, and closure reports in accordance with state requirements. Our skill and experience in risk assessment and contaminant remediation are also brought to bear in those cases where a release is documented during closure. AVANT staff are well versed in the requirements of Indiana's Excess Liability Trust Fund (ELTF) program that reimburses the owners and operators of regulated petroleum-storage tanks for qualifying investigation and remediation expenses after the regulatory deductible is met. This program may significantly reduce your financial exposure when managing and remediating releases of petroleum products.
