Our Underground Storage Tank (UST) Services

Portfolio Management
Whether you have a single facility or a schedule of hundreds of locations, Synergy is able to coordinate and perform appropriate environmental due diligence, work with applicable local regulatory, private insurance company and other funding authorities, manage on site field activities, and provide thoughtful, accurate, professional communication to our clients at all levels of their own or affiliated organizations.

Appropriate Due Diligence
For buyers and sellers of retail petroleum site portfolios, appropriate due diligence describes how we apply our decades of experience to each transaction’s unique circumstances. Our emphasis is on working with existing technical information as much as possible, including prior site assessments and electronic records searches.  We understand the need for professionalism, confidentiality and discretion in working with the various other entities involved in a due diligence transaction. And we stand behind any estimates developed for managing continuing environmental liabilities by offering fixed price contracting for remediation and compliance required either pre or post transaction.

Determine Funding Sources
A critical consideration in evaluating environmental liabilities related to a pending portfolio transfer is determining what if any funding sources are available.  Sources of funding vary but can include insurance policies, state administered UST funds, grant and incentive programs, prior indemnity agreements, and remediation trust or escrow accounts.  Synergy is able to evaluate each of these sources for applicability and availability and use this information for establishing ongoing environmental costs.

On Site Field Activities
Synergy is able to respond to any UST removal, installation, or tank upgrade with experienced, professional staff, versed in local regulatory requirements.  Synergy can provide necessary equipment and staff to conduct site investigation and remediation.  See links for further details on capabilities and project experience. 

Remediation Equipment
Synergy utilizes equipment as needed to achieve remedial results. 
In many cases, Synergy personnel are able to adapt existing equipment inventory for project specific applications, which greatly reduces project costs.  Synergy works very closely with RES a group which is expert in implementing economically and functionally efficient remedial equipment.

Fuel-View
Fuel-View is communications system for monitoring retail petroleum UST’s in real time for both environmental compliance and inventory management.  Fuel-View works with existing remote access functions of any existing ATG system, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the ATG system as a tool to monitor tank status.  Because Fuel View is simple to implement and its operation is entirely web-based, our clients find it to be the most effective method available to handle the normally cumbersome and time consuming tasks of environmental compliance and inventory management for retail petroleum UST systems.  For more info Fuel-View or contact us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

UST A, B, and C Operator Training
The 2005 US Federal Energy Act which has already been written into law contains provisions requiring that retail petroleum service stations no later than the year 2012 have various levels of training completed for each category of operator at their station.  Most States are adopting earlier deadlines for implementation to guarantee they are not declared ineligible for federal funding.  See Synergy’s training curriculum in the Synergy Training Center for details about available courses to satisfy compliance for this requirement.
