The documents linked to this page all relate to the assessment of sites where leaking underground storage tanks (LUST) are or have been located. The process of assessment uses risk-based corrective action (RBCA). The objective of RBCA is to evaluate the risks posed by contamination to human health, safety and the environment using a progressively more site-specific, three-tiered approach. All proposed corrective actions must be submitted and supervised by a certified groundwater professional.
If necessary, you can receive copies of these documents by contacting Bonnie Garrison at 515-725-8310 or Bonnie.Garrison@dnr.iowa.gov.
