Installation of underground storage tank system ... The New Mexico Underground Storage Tank Regulations (USTR) require performance standards for new UST systems and upgrading older systems. These standards are aimed at prevention of releases due to structural failure, corrosion, spills and overfills as long as the UST system is used to store regulated substances. For new tanks four options exist: fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP); steel, if cathodically protected; a Steel-FRP composite; or metal with no corrosion protection of certain soil conditions exist. New piping that routinely contains product must also meet the requirements. Acceptable piping materials are FRP, cathodically protected steel (coated and anodes attached) or unprotected metal, if approved. 3, record 2, English, - underground%20storage%20tank
